Would You Let Your Fiance Organise Your Wedding
SELF-CONFESSED 'bridezilla' Katy Ollerenshaw, 31
, had big plans for her wedding: two Purple Cat Woman Shiny Metallic Catsuit with Black Gloves and St, two venues, and a theme that transformed from Midsummer Night's Dream to Hollywood glamour as the day progressed. So what happened when she agreed to let her hopelessly disorganised fiance Sam, 27, take over all the organisation and plan the day for her, while she spent a month staying with friends? Here, Katy, who works as a broadcast assistant, and Sam, a nurse, who live in Weybridge, Surrey, tell Femail their stories. Katy says: THE moment I knew I wouldn't be having the wedding of my dreams was when the invitation fell through the doormat. As I looked down at the shoddily cut cardboard, frayed ribbon and the wording that had obviously been printed straight from our home PC on to photocopier paper, I couldn't help but burst into tears. I would have got the invitations printed on luxurious cardboard with the lettering in embossed silver. For me, the invitation sets the scene for a day, and this one was screaming out cheap, modern and minimalist. Picking up my mobile phone, I wrote out a text message to Sam, letting him know in no uncertain terms how unhappy I was and adding that if he didn't buck up his ideas, I would call the entire thing off. . Allowing Sam to organise a
Purple With Silver Dragonfly Shiny Metallic Zentai Suit I'd been dreaming about in my mind for over a year was a fairly mad idea. The only reason I ever agreed was because I was desperate. Sam proposed last summer and I wanted to get married as soon as possible, but we couldn't afford the cost of a wedding. Then, in May this year, I spotted an advert in a newspaper from a television documentary company who were offering to cover the majority of the cost of the wedding for a bride who was willing to let her fiance plan the entire day. The idea appealed because the most important thing was that Sam and I would be able to get married. It would have taken us years to save up to pay for the wedding ourselves, and I was prepared to go down a less conventional route if it meant we could tie the knot sooner. And besides, I couldn't see how Sam could go that wrong. Sam is notoriously disorganised, but I felt I'd given him a good start. Ever since he put the engagement ring on my finger, I'd turned into a woman obsessed by weddings. How I'd like my big day to be was literally all I'd talked about. I'd bought every bridal magazine there was, and had even compiled a folder of notes and pictures of things I liked. Surely some of this would have rubbed off on him? I'd pointed out dozens of
Red Shiny Metallic Mermaid Suit to Sam that I thought would suit me, and had mentioned many times that I wanted a venue with a huge crystal chandelier in the middle of the room, intricate Rococo-style plasterwork on the walls and a simple colour scheme of white and silver with crystals sprinkled over the tables. I'd also talked to Sam about my idea of having two costume zentai, two themes and two venues. That may sound a little excessive, but a girl only gets married once and I wanted to be spoilt. So it wasn't as if I hadn't been specific, and although I'd caught Sam's eyes glazing over on a couple of occasions, he'd seemed interested in all my ideas. I thought I'd said enough to ensure he would be capable of pulling off my perfect wedding himself.
