Your Story- referencing Randy Fenoli’s book, It’s All About The Dress
“…one thing remains the same for all couples. Each has a
unique, intimate, and personal story to tell.”- Randy Fenoli
Randy mentions in his book that the details of your wedding
speak to your guests about who you and your husband are as a couple: Your
attire says, “This is our taste level in clothing.” The food you choose to
serve at your reception says, “This is the food we would serve you if you were
guests in our home.” The music you play says, “This is the music we like to
dance and party to.” Every detail you choose to display will convey to your
guests your story, your image and your taste. And in order to begin your story,
what will your guests be looking at? …You and your dress.
For years now I, Jackie S., have seen brides choose their
dresses relying on old fashion rules and out dated traditions. (E.g. I HAVE to
wear white or what will my mother-in-law think. I can’t wear pearls because it’s
bad luck.) Similarly Randy explains in his book that woman purchase their
dresses with preconceived notions about what they think they are “supposed” to
wear, or what they were told they “should” wear. Also, details are approved by mothers,
aunts, and friends who have already been through the wedding process. But what
you, as a modern bride, need to know is that today’s weddings have become more
about the couple’s self-expression. However, Randy Rule #1 may apply, if a
bride wants to honor a family tradition. (E.g. wearing your great grandmother’s
veil) Now let’s get down to the nitty-gritty! In order to establish your story
you must ask yourself several questions regarding you and your husband-to-be’s
relationship. Write the questions and answers down on a piece of paper and go
into detail. Don’t forget to start when you and your love bug first met. Here
are some questions that I came up with to help you figure out your story. You can
use these or come up with your own
- What are you and your fiancé’s favorite colors?
- What are you and your fiancé’s favorite colors?
- What are your favorite or ideal places to visit?
- What is your favorite type of music?
- What is your favorite food to eat?
- What are your individual styles?
- Where did you meet?
- Where was your first date?
- Where was “the question” popped?
- The most important part of this step is to establish your story, embrace it and express it
