Real Brides Planning Help from "Harper's Island"


from June Hoffman of Megasound


This week’s installment of “Harper’s Island” certainly had a lot of action. It was almost as exhausting as a real wedding and certainly a lot messier. I spotted three interesting lessons that real brides could learn from this riveting episode of “Harper’s Island”.

When assigning your groom a decision-making task, make sure he completely understands the importance behind that part of the wedding. If his eyes glaze over when you talk about selecting napkin rings and salad forks, you may want to give your groom a different wedding chore. Otherwise, you might be surprised when each place setting is graced with paper napkins and plastic utensils.

The days leading up to the wedding are stressful. Brides and grooms need to agree ahead of time that the wedding comes first. Other people’s drama can wait until after the nuptials.

A rehearsal is important and beneficial to get logistics in place for the wedding ceremony. Make sure that all of your wedding party members know when and where to meet for the practice run. Pending any unforeseen situations, a wedding rehearsal will take less than a hour.

Happy planning to all brides and grooms. Your wedding should be less stressful when you plan ahead with the valuable lessons from “Harper’s Island”. We will have to wait two weeks to see what really happened with the falling chandelier. Hmm…maybe a lesson there about selecting a secure site that isn’t caving in around the wedding ceremony.
