Trials and Tribulations of 'Being a Bride to Be'

As a well traveled young woman, who loves math, hates dresses, and excels at sports and video games,  Sarah was fairly use to having some people take on a patronizing air with her.  When she got a prestigious scholarship abroad, a surprising number of people she told about the achievement first asked "So are you going over there to get a husband?"

So when she got engaged, Sarah expected some people would have the gumption to tell her just how wrong her ideas about her wedding were, but she was still surprised at the extent that some people were willing to judge her decisions.

Not many details of the wedding have been decided yet, but the few that have are:

Sarah's taking Morgan's last name.
Sarah's walking down the isle by herself.
Every niece and nephew that wants to can be in the wedding.
We're hiring a wedding planner/coordinator for the day of the wedding.

And oh how contentious those choices could be. Sarah was really surprised at the number of people who gave her grief for choosing to take Morgan's last name. One person even went so far as exclaim "I can't believe you are going to take his last name when you are not even going to let your dad walk you down the isle!"
Well you don't know anything about me, or my decisions, and it's what I want. 

Sarah's starting to get use to some people continually countering every choice she and Morgan has decided on  for the wedding, but brides to be beware. Be prepared to stick to your convictions and just remember that it's all about you and the love of your life!
