Wedding music video! How Fun!
This wedding was obviously planned around the video, not the other way around! They must have had an awesome wedding planner!

Top 5 Wedding Planning Mistakes
Not Involving Your Better Half
It is 2011. It has become more and more common for the cost of the wedding to be split between the bride and groom vs. the old adage that the brides parents are expected to pay for everything. Wedding planning can and should be the domain of both people, rather than just de facto delegated to the bride. I suggest setting aside a regular weekly meeting time to talk about new ideas, budget , and set wedding-related goals for the next week.
Getting Trashed the Night Before the Wedding
Whether your friends have mistakenly planned the bachelor/bachelorette parties for the night before the wedding, or you plan to drink through the rehearsal dinner, the last thing you need is to wake up with a headache, puffy skin, fuzzy head, or worse, an upset stomach. Do yourself a favor, skip drinking the night before.
Being Inconsiderate
Yes, it's your wedding, and your special day. But you need to take other people into consideration as well. After all, a good host puts others needs front and center. Think about what you are asking. Is what you need the wedding party to do fair? Have you been clear about your expectations about level of commitment? Will your guests be forced to stand around for over an hour while you take pictures? Will they be comfortable in the weather or have you thought to provide bottles of water, fans, and/or wraps and heaters? Do guests know what to expect?
Losing Perspective
Don't forget to keep your eye on what's really important to you. Don't get bogged down in so many small details that you don't spend enough time on what's important. Hire a planner and if something goes wrong, try your best to take deep breaths and think about the big picture. Above all, keep your sense of humor!
A Lack of Personality
One of the biggest mistakes I see is a wedding devoid of the couple's own personalities. Now, I'm not saying everyone has to have a theme wedding, but if I see one more wedding with the standard "Love is patient" reading, or where it doesn't seem as if the couple had a hand in the décor, menu, or music, I'm gonna scream. This is the most important day of your life – it should reflect your life.
