I would rather have already-married people, though, to "rent" because it seems like they would at least have the experience of having been through ONE wedding before. I'm not married yet, and I know I wouldn't know how to handle certain things in my OWN wedding, much less someone else's!leyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12213216445363808745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596263429630935759.post-4411535235754760792008-06-26T11:24:00.000-07:002008-06-26T11:24:00.000-07:00I think it's a great idea!

I had a woman from the church where we got married coordinate the ceremony and our reception site had a coordinator as well so I didn't have to worry about it. But without those options, I think trading services with another bride would work really well.Politics to Peacheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846416952278428724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596263429630935759.post-56732247496778246312008-06-26T10:36:00.000-07:002008-06-26T10:36:00.000-07:00I think that is a great idea.

She was very stuffy and so worried about every little detail I tried to avoid her as much as possible.

However, I am considering asking a close co-worker of mine to help with the "day-of" stuff.

But on the other hand there are some circumstances that arise (at least at my wedding) that I was so glad we went with a professional. <BR/><BR/>I was so happy with my planner (she didn't do just do-of but the whole planning process) because she had so much experience, worked with all of my vendors, and literally NOTHING made her nervous or lose her calm. <BR/><BR/>I liked that we chose a professional because she was there to work and not socialize. I went to a wedding where the "planner" was a friend from church and she spent the entire reception sitting with the guests and not orchestrating the introductions, cake cutting, dances, get away, etc. Just something to think about...SCMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484904478816897440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1596263429630935759.post-85864507117363342592008-06-26T06:46:00.000-07:002008-06-26T06:46:00.000-07:00I actually asked one of my best friend's fiancee. ...I actually asked one of my best friend's fiancee. Since she is planning her own wedding, she's aware of all the details (just like you said) and since he's in the wedding, she'll be there for everything anyway! :)<BR/><BR/>She was excited to play a part.

They did a whole story on her and her auction for a bridesmaid. Which btw, was one of her bridesmaid's ideas.
