Eyes of the Beholder

I can't say enough of this but its wedding season again (at least here in Kenya). In this half of the year more people get married than in any other season. It reminds me of the famous saying, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". The thought comes to mind as at the reception there are those famous for asking "what was he/she thinking?". There are always those who think another man/woman would have been better for the bride/groom. Whats sad the negative talker in most instances was ditched by the bride/groom. Which begs the question : should you attend the wedding of an ex if they left you at the alter?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder means that you can't quite explain why someone choose a particular individual for a mate if you don't see the same qualities that the individual does. As weddings seasons progress....many couples choose vendors for completely different reasons: referrals, bridal shows, online search and also based on the good work they have done before. I like watching on DSTV the show Whose wedding is it anyway? several brides watched previous shows and they loved what they saw especially how well organised a planner is, how they came to the aid of the couple who are their clients at their time of need and also how they put value for money and quality work before anything else what ever makes you select a vendor one thing is for sure we like working with vendors whose work is known and has worked with those in our own circles. Take this past weekend as an example Vera Wang had the opportunity for two of her gowns to be worn on Saturday by A list celebrities: Alicia Keys and Chelsea Clinton. What do you think that does for her sales this wedding season......

As a bride how well know is your vendor do you just use their referral list or have you attended some of their events and had they done events for friends with weddings or functions before you or is price the only reason that leads you to a vendor? Why is beauty again in the hands of the beholder? Whatever your reasons for selecting a wedding vendor I hope your choices don't lead to disappointment. One things is for sure you can hardly go wrong with a well known vendor online, on TV or in your locality.
