I can’t type those words without thinking of this song!

P.S. - that is Matthew Morrison (of Glee) who was in the original cast of Broadway’s Hairspray (which I got to see when I was 16 with that original cast!! Wow, that was almost 10 years ago. I’m old )

OK, back to the point of this post. It takes two people to get married, but I’ve found it takes two to plan the wedding as well. And no, my partner in planning is not Mr Elk. (Personal Photos)

Long before I found Weddingbee, I was lucky enough to have a friend who actually cared about little dumb details of a wedding, because she too was getting married! Bridesmaid K and I met during our first year of medical school. We studied together and became fast friends after she hit me in the head with a cadaver’s arm in anatomy lab (she claims it was accidental, but she laughed hysterically).

Anyhoo, since then we have experienced a lot of life’s big moments together. We got engaged about a month apart (and we each played a part in each others proposals in strange ways). We went dress shopping together (numerous times!) as you can see above. We are in each others weddings only two weeks apart. And we will stand together a week before my wedding to both become doctors at our graduation.

It is a little overwhelming to think about all we have to do, wedding wise, for not only our own weddings, but each others’ as well. Our bachelorette parties are just a week apart and will take place five hours away, and with our weddings two weeks apart it makes for interesting honeymoon planning. Some brides may be upset to have another wedding so close to theirs, but I can honestly say that I am SO EXCITED!

Do you have a partner in crime when it comes to wedding planning? Has Weddingbee helped when your friends or family don’t really care about all those little details brides seem to freak out about?
