This wedding planning chart series hilariously sums up the reality of organizing your nuptials. Illustrated by BuzzFeed staff member Rachel Wilkerson Miller, the 13 different graphs compare your expectations versus what actually happens when planning a wedding.
Much of the wedding planning charts discuss budgeting, from your fiancé not knowing the accurate cost of anything to the cost of recreating what you see on Pinterest. The graphs also cover material such as people who have very strong negative opinions, DIY projects, how much you think about eloping, true feelings on wedding gifts, what actually goes into the wedding bouquet, time spend designing the wedding website, reasons the engaged person is shedding tears, reading nasty comments and the wedding night. One chart in particular analyzes the hierarchy of wedding concerns, from your hair to the dramatic objection of an ex.
