Bride And Groom Tips
You sat and talked and finally after a lot of weighing the pros and cons you have decided to go ahead and get married and you waste no time in announcing the fact. Congratulations, you have just crossed the first hurdle. The next is to accept that you are going to spend the rest of your life with this person so you have to accept their inadequacies just as they have to accept yours. Keep in mind that no marriage is a life long honeymoon. So then you ask, what next after the announcement – well, now starts the fun part – the planning of the wedding.
Unlike the olden days where the bride would be doing most of the work and all that she wanted the groom to do all listed out and ready to act on, nowadays the wedding is planned by both contributing equally and sometimes the couple even pay for their own wedding. Now you don’t have pouting brides waiting for prince charming to propose on bended knee. Today, you usually have a couple planning their wedding together. So start with setting the date and finding a venue that both of you like, easily accessible by all the invitees and within your budget.
Get your families together and start with the venue, the date, the church booking is any, the guest list and the invitation design and mailing list. All invitees must be informed well in advance so they have time to prepare too. Your daydreaming days are over now – it’s time to get started on the hundred little details that go into making a wedding successful without blowing a hole in your pocket.
So with the date all set and the venue all set, the next on the agenda is the dress. Brides have to look their very best and they must be the belle of the ball so to speak. Grooms must be at their elegant best to compliment their very beautiful partner. A good idea would be to call your married friends and get their advice. All those little handy hints that they found worked well will work well for you too. For your dress, see how much time you have and get into shape so you can get that gorgeous dress in the shop window. Ask for designs which make the most of you.
Grooms need to get all their haircuts, waxes and shaves done on D-day so you look the best. Have you got the ring? Go together and buy something that suits your budget and you style. Plan your honeymoon and don’t feel shy or awkward about it. Get information from friends so you know where to get good deals.
The important decisions should be yours but if you let relatives and friends handle the rest, then you won’t be tensed and worried all the time about the little things. Give them your choice or preference but for most of the part you are the star of the show so sit back and relax. There’s time and opportunity aplenty after you get married to do everything all by yourself. So be confident and smile even as the camera flashes in your eyes and even if you do trip up, don’t fret – no one remembers unless they got you on camera just when you slipped and took a fall !
