It's the big one. You want it to be right. You want everything
to go smoothly. You want to remember it fondly...forever.
Something like that doesn't just happen. You have to dedicate
time, effort and energy to create the perfect wedding. You can
do it, but make sure you give yourselves enough time--and
money!--to create the most memorable, beautiful, perfect wedding
for each of you. After all, the memory will last a lifetime!
A year is the usual amount of time recommended to accomplish
this. The budget is whatever you two decide upon, remembering
that you do have a year to put aside money from time to time.
Use the checklist below as a guide for your perfect wedding. The
items are listed in order, so that the first ones should be
accomplished right away.
1-Church or Civil Wedding? If it's a church wedding, talk to the
appropriate church officials as soon as possible. There are lots
of details to go through just to get this part right. Be
patient! It'll be worth it!
2-The Reception This may take a long time to arrange, so start
arranging it right away. Talk to different caterers and go see
the possible venues. Gather all the costs and information you
can!
3-The Dress If you haven't got a theme yet for your wedding, you
may want to fix on one at this point. A Renaissance theme, for
example, is a popular one, and it makes all your decisions
easier, such as the type of Dress--and tux!
4-The Pictures Some of the best wedding photographers book over
a year in advance, so get right on it!
5-The Flowers They can be as meaningful as you want. Set aside
some time to research the meaning of flowers, as well as the
cost.
6-The Rings No single wedding-related objects are as important.
Spend the time and money you must to get the rings that will
express your love for a lifetime.
7-The Invitations The guest list can make or break a wedding and
reception celebration. Take your time on this one!
8-The Honeymoon You can dream about it throughout the year, but
at some point you will have to decide. Make it a place you both
are crazy about, then book it!
If you've gotten this far, the rest is only logic. Follow
through, and it'll be a piece of (many-tiered?) cake!
