What if You Aren't the Typical Bride?

Every wedding magazine features a bride on the cover, simply beaming to be wearing a white poofy dress. But what if you're just not that kind of girl? What if you want to be married, but planning a traditional wedding is just not your cup of tea? Thankfully, the world is starting to realize that not everyone has dreamed of their wedding day since they were a little girl. You might want to start out by reading this interesting article, about a bride-to-be finding her own path. A great resource is the website IndieBride. They offer interesting articles and tips, but the best part is the message board, called Kvetch. Here you can get advice from brides like you, get ideas for all those details you're supposed to plan, or just get support. I really like the section called "weddings we loved" where brides show off their non-traditional weddings. It's a great place to see that you're far from alone.
