Deciding to Get Married is Only The Beginning.
Thursday, September 18th, 2008
So your partner has popped the question, and you said "yes" what now? Every little girl dreams of that big day her wedding, the dress, the flowers, the cake, the reception. It can all be very overwhelming. Where do you begin? What's the first step? Do you hire a wedding planner, or do everything yourself. Do you listen to your mother-in law to be or your own mother.
First take a step back and breathe. Exhale!
Good.
Now, you and your new fiancé have some questions to decide upon for yourselves and some to render to the family. The first obviously is, how long do you want the engagement to be? If you are opting for a longer engagement, meaning years down the road, not months, then you have plenty of time. If not, then you need to decide first and foremost what kind of wedding do you want: Indoor or outdoor, church or park, boat or beach? These decisions need to be considered in relation to time of year when you want to get married. If you choose park in the middle of winter, then have a back-up plan in case of rain. After that, decide your budget. Have you and your fiancé saved for your nuptials? The old fashioned tradition was for the father of the bride to cough up the dough, but that isn’t so much the case. You need to meet with your families to decide how much everyone is prepared to contribute? A good wedding or wedding to remember isn’t based upon the money spent. It is about creating memories and your guests leaving having a memorable day celebrating the love of you and your new partner.
I have a book that I recommend every person reads at some stage, it is a fantastic behavioural book that is especially important prior to entering into a long term commitment. Enjoy!
