* Do what you two want. Everyone else's opinions don't really matter, it's your day and it's you two that will remember more of the details forever!
* Don't let other people bring you down because of your choices.
* Regardless of all the stress, it IS worth it. The memories will last forever.
* Be engaged for at least a year, or really accurate to it.
* Book places early, such as the church and reception hall, so that you have that task completed and reserved so it's official!
* Do as much as possible beforehand, especially if you're doing any D.I.Y. stuff.
** Congratulations!! **
get quotes from loads of people for all the things you want - catering, marquee, etc
for the ceremony - have what you really want, it doesn't matter what anyone else says
relax, delight in it, it is only one day and you get to spend the rest of your lives together.
everyone questioned how I stayed so relaxed on my wedding day - I don't really know but I know I really wanted to be married to the like of my life
hope it works out really well for you
thats a fantastic question
i am like an expert on romance and u should doubtless take her out to diner and when she finshes her meal neal down and propose
I'm just preparation my wedding now, so I don't have much advice on that. But when it comes to buying a ring, DO YOUR RESEARCH! Set a budget of what you can reasonably afford and learn about diamonds and how they are priced. I urge Bluenile (http://www.bluenile.com/diamond-and-jewelry-education), that's where my fiance did all his research and he got an incredible price because he knew what to question for when he went to a jeweler.
Don't let anyone in a jewelry store up-sell you. There is such a huge mark-up on jewelry, especially date rings. They will try to convince you that you need to buy her like, and you know you don't have to. So be prepared with questions and know what you want and what price you can get it for (the best prices I've seen are buying directly from bluenile.com or a similar online store). The huge chain stores don't offer that fantastic a deal, even their online stores.
Excellent Luck!
Congratulations!This is a huge choice.Well,as a woman,I must say that the more suprised she is the more sweet and special it'll be.Catch her when she least expects it.When buying the ring,make sure the diamond comes with a certificate b/c thats the only waterproof you'll have that its a real diamond.As for the wedding,do you want it to be at home or outdoors?At the Beach?Start researching some conveniences online.Book an appointment with them.If you're getting married in a Church,let them know well in advance.Research the marriage laws in your disorder.You might need to have a civil wedding at the City Clerk's office first.Excellent luck and my very best to you and your wife to be
my only suggestion is keep the wedding small and simple. it is a lot of money for one day, and it's so stressful for a large wedding… in a large wedding it seems to be about everyone else and not the 2 of you. if you do happen to want a large wedding, remember that it is only about the 2 of you, and do what you want, regardless of what others want. it is your day. Excellent luck!!!!
I know it is hard, but try to keep it as cheap as possible, otherwise you will be paying for one day for the rest of your life. Make sure you have an actual budget and keep to it. Remember that you will get on each others nerves while trying to plot it so try to always keep an open mind and don't get to excited or worried about anything. GL
Get a pad or daily planner and write every thing down! that means if you get prices for a tux at 3 places or ten defferent banquet hall write it in there. There is so much to try to remember when you are in the preparation stages it is simpler to refer to your book. Also set a time line for everything that needs to be done. Set the most vital things to get done first like the location of the ceremony and reception then alternative flowers and cake and dress and tux. If you plot to make tissue flowers for the cars plot a day for it. Also take all the help you can get. There is so much to do. My rule was anything tha I wanted exactly as I pictured it I did myself or was there to supervise, the stuff that was not so vital I let someone else do. Excellent luck and congrats!
Let her have some say in the ring–she'll be wearing it every day for the rest of her life. Question her in private except she likes being the focal top of attention. Question her in a romantic location–my husband questioned in private (excellent) but in a very NON-romantic location (BAD)–it doesn't have to be an expensive restaurant (I would HAVE loved if he had proposed where we had our first date, but I knew that wasn't possible since we were getting engaged 2500 miles away from that place…)
Do NOT have a huge wedding that you can't afford (and start your marriage in huge debt). Use your money for a touch truly unforgettable–a down payment on a house or even a nicer honeymoon.
That being said, have the wedding you want, not the one your parents/future in-laws/society says you have to have.
Figure out what's vital to you and make sure you use your money on that (I wish I would have chosen a different/better photographer–my only unhappiness). If any person in your family has any kind of talent–question them to use it in place of a gift. My sister-in-law made my cake (the most gorgeous cake I've ever seen). I made the bouquets, and my mom and sis-in-law sewed the girls' dresses.
Excellent luck and reckon about what your girlfriend likes and wants.
Don't get ripped off.
Who spends £1200 on a dress they will wear once? Thirty photographs should never cost £800, no 'taxi'- whether it be a 1930 Beaford, a vintage Rolls Royce or a Ford Escort is worth £600 and a bunch of 12 roses is not worth £120. Shop around.
My £7500 wedding with 80 daytime and 150 evening guests was a hell of a lot better than the £30000 wedding with a similar number of guests, which I went to last month.
