"   Weddings are a super stressful time in a bride&amp;#039;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&amp;#039;t have any of those worries, though. Why? She&amp;#039;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.  &amp;quot;I knew the style of wedding dress I wanted. I knew what style bridesmaids&amp;#039; dress I wanted,&amp;quot; the 34-year-old said recently. &amp;quot;I knew the color scheme. I knew I wanted it to be outdoors.&amp;quot; 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&amp;#039;re utterly single (like me), or already married. All of the boards have cutesy names like &amp;quot;future&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;love&amp;quot;, but one glance at the all the dresses, rings, and centerpiece ideas shows the pinner&amp;#039;s true intentions. So, I guess it&amp;#039;s not really all that unusual to make plans ahead of time\u2014it&amp;#039;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.
