Wedding planning can be a lot of fun, but it can be stressful, and not for the reasons you may think. Modern day couples are trying to make this day "their" day, and sometimes this means forgoing some of the marriage day institutions we have come to expect and sometimes even enjoy. Have you planned or been planning a wedding within the last few years?

So, what is causing the stress for me, helping to plan my daughter's big day? It may not seem like a big thing to you, but it is my one thing I would like. My daughter dislikes the father/daughter dance so much she doesn't want to have one. She enjoys dancing, but doesn't want the spotlight on her doing so. Her first dance with her fiancée si going to be a little different, so that's not the issue. Do you enjoy seeing the traditional father/daughter dance?
Yes, I do
