"\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\n Weddings are a super stressful time in a bride's life\u2014she has to find the color scheme, the dress, the venue, etc.Just thinking about it makes me break out in hives.One newlywed didn't have any of those worries, though. Why? She's only been planning her wedding for about 10 years.New Yorker Kate Owens had everything\u2014even the band\u2014locked down before she even met her hubby. \"I knew the style of wedding dress I wanted. I knew what style bridesmaids' dress I wanted,\" the 34-year-old said recently. \"I knew the color scheme. I knew I wanted it to be outdoors.\"Pretty weird, right?Well, I thought so\u2014at first. And then I remembered that Pinterest exists.It seems like every woman on Pinterest has a wedding board, no matter if they're utterly single (like me), or already married. All of the boards have cutesy names like \"future\" or \"love\", but one glance at the all the dresses, rings, and centerpiece ideas shows the pinner's true intentions.So, I guess it's not really all that unusual to make plans ahead of time\u2014it's even a smart move to save your sanity before the big day. You just have to remember to let your guy have some input: Owens eventually let her husband pick out his own tux.The rest? It was all her diligent planning.Planning a wedding before you're engaged: Weird, or necessary in today's busy world?Want more from Meagan?
