Wedding Day Bliss Factors: One Way to Avoid Becoming a Bridezilla
M y Mom just reminded me how for my seventh birthday all I wanted was a Dress ‘N Dazzle wedding set to play in. The day we went to pick it out, Toys ‘R Us was having a power outage and I thought for a few miserable moments that I wouldn’t get to be a bride for my birthday. But we were able to go into the store with a sales person who had a flash light and the crisis was averted. That was probably one of the best birthday presents I got as a kid. It came with a dress, veil, bouquet, ring, and I even got the white sparkly high heels that were extra. Everything a girl could need for a wedding.

I am a Marketing Communications Specialist at Systemation (a project management, business analysis, and agile development training company). I am also recently engaged and in the very early phases of planning a wedding. Systemation has always operated under the belief that everything’s a project, from toasting a piece of bread to planning a wedding.
