Tux and Tails, Thinking Threadsafe
With our wedding drawing nearer by the day, my fiance and I have been inundated with wedding planning. The topics on the table include outfits, timetable, transportation, getting a license, surviving finals, photos, reception planning, and much more. Naturally, our friends and family take much of the load for us, but every decision must ultimately be made by us. Taking a clue from Linus Torvalds, I have found much use in getting others to feel like they can make decisions to help us out. We have friends who enjoy interior decorating, baking, stuffing envelopes, and even running sound systems. These friends have taken much of the responsibility and made hosting an event such as a wedding possible. Let ours be an example to all who feel mired in the bog of planning things too big to tackle. Friends make it possible.

Good luck with the less thread-safe threads you deal with!
ReplyDeleteMy wife and I let her sister do almost all of the planning. Instead of making the final decision on things, we simply approved her decisions. It took almost all the stress out of planning. It separated us from the details so they didn't distract us when the big day finally arrived.
ReplyDeleteThe most important part of a wedding is the family surrounding you. That can be as cheap or expensive, calm or chaotic as you (or anyone willing to brave it) wants.
ReplyDeleteThe only problem here is that you first need friends.
