Does planning a wedding need to be a nightmare

Planning a wedding whether it be a natural wedding or otherwise can be stressful but once you get your priorities straight, it really needn't be that way. We need to stop confusing weddings with crafty business. Weddings have become a linear experience in many cultures, when in reality it's up to you how it happens.  If you want a simple wedding, don't succumb to the pressure of society like the example of this video (funny though it may be) and make sure you only include what is important to you rather than giving in to societal pressures.

Of course you want to be considerate about the beliefs of your family and friends but as the video blatantly shows, it can be a losing battle if you don't take things into your own hands.
