There is a gap of
time in wedding planning if you decide on an engagement of longer than 1 year.
This gap is called “The Idle Bride Vortex”. Oh yes, it is a real thing. How
many brides have said, “Oh, all my vendors are booked. There’s really nothing
to do before I order the save the dates and invitations!” Answer: Most of them.
Now, how many of those brides are super involved DIYers? Based on my
well-educated assessment, about 33.333%. That’s right, 33.333% of all brides
are susceptible to being sucked into the “The Idle Bride Vortex”. Luckily, my
friend Sarah is immune to having idle hands so I can see she clearly is going
to make it through wedding planning without having any
“silly-overly-thought-out, but-not–well-executed” wedding project.
I, however, was
sucked into that very vortex.
