Congratulations, you’re getting married! If you’re like most, you’ve dreamed about your wedding day ever since you were a child. Now the time has come, but the difficulty is knowing where to begin…
First, announce your engagement; shout it from the roof top!
- Whatever you choose to do, be sure to enjoy this wonderful and magical time in your life.
- Set your budget for the big day.
- Think about what type of wedding you want, theme, small intimate wedding or grand and lavish celebration?
- Will it be an indoor or outdoor?
- What time of year will it be fall or spring?
- Traditional, elegant, contemporary or romantic?
- Will you get married during the day or in the evening?
- Do you want a formal sit down dinner or cocktail reception?
- Do you want to get married close to home or at a romantic destination?
Once you have answered a few of these questions then it is time to move to your first major decisions.
