I find this very illogical, and simply find trouble for him/herself: I assume most of us here have been to/helped out in weddings, I think we all have expectations of what we are going to get for X amount of money. Obviously, the more funding you have, the more grand the wedding is (regarding if it will look pretty).
If we already know what we want by looking at others, why envy others when we are in control?
Similar to myself, I don't want my wedding to be similar to others, therefore I find something different to do: taking pre-wedding photos in TW, planning a destination wedding, choosing only to involve people in arms-length etc. I have total control. I won't envy others because I know mine is unique and to my friends, it's memorable.
I do envy the other wedding photos shown on the catalog from my photography company. What will I do about it? I will go there and spend more $$ to do it the 2nd time! I know the tricks, and I plan ahead to ensure my fiance and I are ready for this!
