10 Things You Should Know Before Planning a Wedding (Cont.)

Welcome back!  Below is the final 5 things to know before planning a wedding.

6.     Despite all your efforts, something is bound to go wrong
See #3 in the last post, no matter how hard you try there is bound to be a few hiccups.  Don't sweat it! Relax! It's those very moments you will look back on twenty years from now and laugh!

7.     Do not try to please everyone
I cannot stress this enough.  It's impossible to please everyone.  There will always be that Negative Nancy who has an opinion about everything.  Just remember, it's your day, don't let others try to persuade you.  Don't spend the rest of your marriage wishing you would have done things differently.

8.     A destination is less stressful than a traditional wedding
WRONG! -- A wedding is a wedding no matter where you have it.  The key is how you handle the stress!  A destination wedding is not for everyone so weigh the pros and cons.

9.     A destination wedding is more affordable than a traditional wedding
WRONG! -- A destination wedding can be just as expensive, if not more expensive than a traditional wedding.  A wedding can be as affordable as you make it, shop around and don’t be afraid to haggle!  Make sure you establish a budget early on.

10. Have fun!
You spend months of planning and the big day is gone before you know it, enjoy it!  Once the planning is finally over, I promise you will miss it!

Happy Planning,
