we’re engaged!!…..Now what?

Oh my god! They said yes!! All the hard work of picking a ring and planing the best way to ask the question has paid off! Now what? Now it’s times to plan the wedding!! But what do I do first!?

If your idea wedding is along these terms

Alternative

Plan your wedding for about 5 years out!

Five years!!!! Yes Five years. You guys need to understand Weddings are EXPENSIVE!! And if you want your dream wedding you’re either A) going to have to put money to the side every month to make deposits with all the vendors of your wedding! orB) because you’re made of money pay it all in full at once!

Next expect this to be a long day! When I say long I mean it! All of these weddings take a lot of time and effort to plan and to execute. This happens and time schedules get pushed

Expect your wedding day to be about 10-16 hour days

Now of course the last 4-5 hours are going to be celebrating at the reception. But the rest of it. Is where the magic happens and where the magical moments get etched into image for years to come.

Then this would be the best order of importance

The wedding date (4/5 years out)

The event coridinator (4/5 years out)

The wedding venue (4/5 years out)

Venue setup(if not included with venue)

The wedding dress and Suit (3/5 years out)

The photographer/videographer crew (1/2 years out)

The Cater(1-2 years out)

The Dj  (1/1.5 years out)

Flouriest (1/1.5 years out)

The Entertainment (1/2 years out)

Now this list is also depending on your budget and your planning date a typical wedding will budget you ar around 35,000 to 50,000.

Now yes that’s a big ticket price and can make some people think twice about having a wedding and wedding ceremony but think about what you’re going to miss out on if you do.

same level of emotional significance as religious or traditional weddings.

   court marriages can be very stressful and difficult to organize, as there is often a lot of paperwork and red tape involved

  court marriages are not legally recognized in all countries

Put down your deposits and lock in dates!!! I cannot stress this enough get it in writing and get a contract! This is not the time to make word of mouth contracts or agreements!
