Why not do everything you can to make it a wedding to remember? Here are the items you will want to consider carefully while formulating your wedding plans:<\/p>\n
Secular or Non-secular?<\/p>\n
Decide whether you want a simple civil ceremony or a church-affiliated wedding.<\/p>\n
This should be a straightforward decision, but if you run into a snag on this point, don\u2019t worry; you can work it out. It\u2019ll just be the first of many compromises!<\/p>\n
If you want a church wedding, make an appointment to talk to the church representative that handles such things and go from there.<\/p>\n
Money<\/p>\n
Weddings cost money. It\u2019s one of a handful of life-changing events, and an investment to make it everything you ever wanted it to be is appropriate.<\/p>\n
Talk it over. Come up with a dollar figure and start gathering estimates. Once you two have decided how much you want to spend, however, don\u2019t go over that amount. This is the first big investment you\u2019ll make, and you want it to be a pleasant one.<\/p>\n
Get Informed<\/p>\n
Make your list of \u201cmust-haves,\u201d such as wedding gown, invitations, flowers, rings and reception. Then call for estimates on each of those items.<\/p>\n
If your estimates total less than your wedding budget, you can go on to items on your second-tier list, your \u201cwanna-haves.\u201d This list would include such items as a hairdresser, a photographer, a stag night, a hen party and professional music, both for the wedding ceremony and the reception.<\/p>\n
The Moment You\u2019ve Waited For<\/p>\n
Did you forget the honeymoon? Not likely!<\/p>\n
You may look at the costs you\u2019ve racked up on paper so far and despair, thinking you\u2019ll only have money left over for a night at the bowling alley! If that\u2019s the case, go back over all your lists and prune. Or give yourselves more time to save the money you\u2019ll need to create your perfect experience. The honeymoon, after all, is the consummation of the marriage. Make it a time to remember forever.<\/p>\n
