Who really wants to hear about wedding plans, I can count the number on my fingers all the way to three. (Me, myself and my mom)
However, in true SV 2.0 fashion, I’m going to solicit the help of my small community to help design and pull off what could be a huge disaster. And it will be all ON LINE and FULLY DOCUMENTED because I’m the idiot who is planning a NYC wedding while living on the west coast. Aren’t NYC weddings difficult enough when you actually live there?
If http://www.anotherfuckingwedding.com wasn’t already in use, it would be all mine.
This is how I’ve started to plan.
Great Budget site (http://Theknot.com) Enter in your desired spending and it immediately spits you a budget. The rest of the site is directed to the traditional bridezilla, as eclectic bridezilla I want nothing to do with this.
Gossip (yelp.com)- Give me the juicy news before I even start to look at caterers. People love to drone on about their personal opinion and first hand disaster stories and Yelp is the best aggregator for this type of information. I found two great event spaces on Yelp just from searching the talk boards.
Etiquette Hell - Who knew that so much could go wrong? I relish the opportunity to add my own hideous mishap to this site. Enter with care, this site can consume a whole afternoon.
Ebay - I want a Romona Keveza dress. I also want to fly to the moon. Is it going to happen? NO - well, not at the full price at least. My plan is to try on Keveza dresses, find out how they fit and order one I like off of ebay. An altered Keveza is better than no Keveza. I’m also looking here
PBwiki - Planning a wedding in New York, while living in San Francisco is a joke. How I’m supposed to do this, I haven’t a clue. I do know that collaboration via email sucks, so I started a wiki to track vendor information and communicate with my family whose helping me plan this disaster.
Lefora - I don’t want to be the only one hunting down good deals. I have created a forum so I can con my family into helping me via surveys and talk threads.
If you’re interested in participating, jump on the forum and let me know what you think about the event spaces I choose. Or if you wandered onto this site and want piggyback on my experience, start at the wiki - by the end it will be an archive of my planning notes and decisions.
