Wedding Files- to have or not to have?

Yet another girly chat inspired post...

A friend who is getting married soon is now drowning in her list of things to do and choices to make. All the 5W's and the 1H! While being Asian has its perks in the sense that parents are very participative in all aspects of the wedding planning, this also means that the couple has to appease the wants and needs of both sets of parents as well as trying to maintain their own identity in the wedding planning.

Knowing my friend G as well as I do, she has 2 problems. Firstly, she is extremely creative making it hard for her to choose "her favorite" of everything because she looks at one thing and the ideas just start to run wild and free. Secondly, the same problem which I am cursed with- procrastination (we work well under pressure).

So the fact that she was supposed to finish the invites today didn't happen because she kept digressing and there were just too many ideas to choose from! Then N mentioned something about having a wedding file which would have solved everything if you already knew what you wanted. Which really got me thinking, maybe a wedding file isn't such a bad idea. Maybe N does have a point...but wouldn't the sight of a wedding file totally scare a guy off? 

So I decided to be brave and over dinner I asked my boyfriend (whom I live with btw, hence my fear of scaring him OFF should he find it!) what he thought about the idea, would he totally freak out if he found my wedding files, does he think I should maybe start one for future reference or maybe it isn't necessary because anyways trends change and maybe things may change?

Strangely enough, he wasn't opposed to the idea at all. He even asked if maybe it wasn't better to get an idea of where the wedding was to be held before compiling everything! I explained that I know what I want and the theme I'd prefer but I just don't have the visual aid for it. 

AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAID??? 

So, sure, start a file. It may be helpful... 

Fear and joy consumes me at the same time. Joy because this means this is going somewhere. Fear because I am a closet commitment-phobe! On one hand I want to dreams of wedding and carriages but on the other the thought scares the shit out of me! Well, that's a story for another day. In the meantime, I have a file to compile!
