Well, it is true that the leisure to laugh at it all is one of the rewards for persevering through the business of wedding planning. But don't wish for the season of anticipation to fly past--or lose all of its unique pleasures by pushing too hard at the details.
At the end, even if every piece of the planning goes awry and every detail falls short, the point is to marry Rabastan and to begin your life together in the presence of people you care about (and any number of other people you also feel obliged to ask along as spectators). And, yes, if the decorative bits all go pear-shaped, there will be articles in the gossip rags, and people will talk, but you'll be no less married to the wizard you love. And you'll have stories to tell and retell across the years. Particularly the ones at the expense of any of your acquaintance with the bad grace to act sour about petty details.

I'm quite looking forward to it.
