Planning Your Dream Wedding

Congratulations, on your forth coming wedding.   Your boyfriend has proposed marriage and you have accepted.

Parents, family and friends have been given the great news.

The answers to the following questions will have to be taken into consideration before any wedding plans can be considered.

Is it to be a long engagement or a whirlwind romance

Have the parents of the bride been saving for years for their daughters wedding or have you caught them by surprise

Are you and your partner paying for some or all of the wedding

What is your budget

Is it going to be a formal church wedding or a civil ceremony

Of course you must have dreamt of this day a hundred times over and it’s natural for you to be super excited. You probably know exactly what your ceremony must look like and you surely must have all the details ready in your head.

However the wedding also involves another person namely your partner and they must also have similar dreams and aspirations so make sure you discuss what you want you’re wedding to be like with them in detail. Let this dream be a mutual one and not just the fulfilment of your wishes.

One of the first things you will have to consider is the time of year you wish to marry.  Have you a date in mind?

Either way, whether it is to be a church wedding or civil ceremony, you will have to find out if your local church, registry office or any of the hotel’s that now advertise civil ceremonies are available for the date you have in mind.  This may be the first compromises in the planning of your wedding you will have to make.

It is a fact that the wedding reception gains the most number of discussions before the wedding. However, it is the actual ceremony where you must focus your attention. You will have to meet the officiate or the prospective officiates before the wedding ceremony to discuss any such requirements that you have before the wedding. In case the officiating person bears no relation to you, you must think out about your comfort level with him or her and if you would be happy to see this person as your officiator, because he carries out the most crucial part of the wedding. A wedding takes place between two people to make them man and wife, and the officiateor is the first person to declare this to the world. You should have a rapport before you make him an everlasting part of this happiest and closest moment of your entire life.

Do not shy away from discussing personal affairs with the officiator before the big day. He or she can be there for you to resolve problems that can be spiritual and mundane including the conflicts within your family members, if any such need arises.

You must not forget to invite your officiator to the dinner rehearsal also. It’s a friendly move from your side. This is also a terrific way you can introduce your family members and friends.
