By now, you are well on your way to creating a special day to be remembered by all who attend your wedding, including the two of you!
You will be interviewing vendors, choosing colors and flavors, music and food.
You will have opinions from everyone including vendors, friends and family. They will tell you horror stories of their own experiences, what to watch out for and what to go ahead with.
Here are a few things to keep in mind as you plunge ahead with your perfect day:
1. As you get into the thick of planning your wedding, don't forget that it is your wedding day story that you are telling-not someone else's.
2. Keep the end result in mind and try not to get sidetracked by the incidentals. I am not sure how important having live peacocks are to a wedding ceremony if you can't obtain them in your season.
3. Remember why you are getting married. It is your love for each other, the bond that glues you together, the "forever" life that you are creating that is the most important.
4. Keep in mind that how you treat people during the planning of a wedding is just as important as how you will be treating people the day of your wedding.
5. What you do when you think no one is looking defines your character---always opt for the right thing.
6. Make smart choices within your budget---going into debt for one day is never a good idea.
7. Keep in mind that your wedding is only one day---a very special day---but one day nonetheless. "Don't sweat the small stuff."
8. Treat each other with kindness and respect. What you say and feel during the wedding planning process will stay with you for many many years.
9. Treat your guests with dignity and respect and the utmost friendliness and compassion. Your efforts will come back to you fivefold.
10. Treat your wedding day like you will treat your marriage---hold it fast in your heart, keep to the memories, and treasure the time as if it is your very last.
