RE: Ga. runaway should brace for wrath of bridesmaids

Behethland B. Clark opines:

Weddings have become such a production, that it's no wonder this woman wanted to run away!

Not only is there a "wedding premium" tacked onto everything, but every girly magazine touts the wedding day as the most important day in a girl's life. You must look your best, have perfect weather, spend a fortune on engraved invitations, and throw the most lavish party for your guests that you can imagine. After all, it's all about treating your guests to a good time, right?

And if you aren't putting enough pressure on yourself, there are plenty of family members on both sides ready to advise you or criticize your decisions in their effort to re-live the wedding they always wanted (but never had).

It takes a strong person to ignore all these pressures and do what makes YOU happy. I suspect this bride got caught up in all the hoopla and lost sight of the ultimate goal.
