We’ve all heard the horror stories. For some, the mere thought of it is enough to send them into a panic attack. Others barricade themselves in their rooms for hours on end, willing it to go away. Some are driven insane by it. The mention of it can leave you cold......
I am of course talking about the dreaded seating plan. The bane of every bride-to-be’s life. Or so I thought. Actually, I got it pretty much sorted on the first attempt! There have been a few minor alterations since after discussing it with my parents and then later in a lot more depth with the groom. An hour of reshuffling and it was done. Off the hook!
I really don’t know why people stress so much about it, but maybe I am just lucky to have gotten off so lightly. I guess it was made simpler by the fact that it is mainly family only, and I have a relatively simple family to work around. The in-laws were a bit more tricky-there are LOADS of them, and lots that I still have yet to meet(!). So they made up the bulk of the re-jigs.
The few friends we have got coming to the wedding breakfast didn’t pose too much of a problem either. Due to the small number of friends invited many don’t know each other and so are invited in couples and the singles all have at least one close friend to sit them with. There were the odd few old rivalries to consider and people to be kept at a distance but no major issues.
