By CHRISTY LYNN For some, the perfect vision of their wedding has been forming in their heads for years, becoming more and more refined as the relationship and circumstances become settled, so when the time comes to put the plan in place there aren’t a whole lot of decisions left to be made. But for many, very little forethought has gone into planning for an actual event until after the engagement — when reality strikes. From there, it tends to be a practice of putting an idea on the table and working through the details of what it would take to make it actually happen. I recall early in the process of planning our wedding ceremony my partner and I hatched the brilliant idea of finding an overgrown field planted with some tall crop that would reach over the tops of our heads. We would direct all guests to show up at the site and there would be a single path weaving in a labyrinth pattern until it led to a central area that would be mowed in the center (See Planning, Page 3)
