Since DF and I are organizing our wedding, I've been reading a few wedding magazines and they are a lot worse than I expected.
The most ridiculous idea I've found (so ridiculous, in fact, that it has become my go-to example) is to have the bride arrive on a helicopter.
That sounds extremely expensive and, let's face, it's not really suited to all locations - chances are, if a bride wanted to make her entrance like that, she'd have to arrange her whole wedding around the entrance.
The second worst idea was about city weddings - specifically, if you're getting married in a city you ought to have your reception at the top of a skyscraper.
Problem: we're in Italy. Renting a castle, a villa or a restaurant with a stunning view is a lot easier than finding a skyscraper. My city in particular only has 3 (and I'm sure New Yorkers would laugh if they saw them): 2 are closed to the public and the 3rd is under construction.
Apparently, the writer thought that "city wedding" implied "sleek, ultra-modern atmosphere" - again, we are in Italy. Our cities are old.
