Is That Your Final Answer?

Once you and your spouse-to-be make a wedding-related decision, stick to it!  Don't go back and rethink it over and over again because you'll drive yourself insane. Final answer! 

Planning a wedding does not have to be stressful. There are many variables to consider before making huge decisions as it relates to your special day (ie. nailing down the date, the season, church or banquet hall, who will be in your bridal party, tux rentals, etc.) and your budget will be the deciding factor. So, first things first...agree on your wedding budget and do everything in your power not to exceed it.  

The world is full of naysayers, and a few might even be related to you. Try not to worry about what other people may think about your wedding decisions. It's YOUR day so have it YOUR way.  That old saying about having too many cooks in the kitchen...applies to planning your wedding day. Stay positive and trust your gut (and your partners' gut too). Whether your budget is $100 or $100,000, concentrate on the things that will make your day memorable and don't stress about the rest.

Make lots of lists.  Theknot.com offers pre-made checklists, and Buzzfeed.com has a collection of diagrams for planning every aspect of your wedding day.  

Your wedding in general, will be a big blur after all the excitement, and only the smallest, most important details will stand out the most. So enjoy the planning phase and have faith that it will all work out and your wedding will be one of the most memorable days of your life.  And that's my final answer! #behappy
