Expenditure wise.

Give yourself plenty of time - if you want a nice wedding without spending a ton of money, it will likely take quite a bit of time and patience to find those great deals. Don't stress out over little details. Make sure to check out ';wedding'; places as well as normal retail places when looking for things like favors and napkins and dresses - often things labeled as ';wedding'; things cost much more than they would otherwise, but sometimes you can find great sales. Good luck!What is the best advice to give someone preparing to get married?
ALWAYS COMMUNICATE.
Keep it small. Don't tell a lot of people until after it's done or they'll want to come. Do it how you want, don't let anyone, ANYONE else tell you how it should be done. Remember, this is your thing. Do what you want to do.
you don't have to spend a whole lot on the wedding, wait for the honeymoon!
Communication about financial things, as well as communication on everything.





I do agree with the person who said that everything that's going to happen at home after the wedding and honeymoon should be discussed beforehand.





The first year of marriage is by far the hardest--as both partners have so many adjustments to make. That's why they should settle all kinds of financial and non-financial matters before it even happens.
Cut corners on the flowers and the reception food. Limit the alcohol to enough for a champagne toast. Give out about 10 disposable cameras to friends to take photos instead of spending a month's salary with a professional. And do not send Christmas cards to those who do not return your pre-printed, self-addressed, stamped RSVP cards.
Don't do it!! lol....
good luck
If for any reason...ANY REASON you have doubts or it just doesn't feel right. Don't follow through with the marriage. You are doing both yourself a favor.
Don't just plan the wedding, plan the marriage. Sit down with your fiance %26amp; discuss division of labor, who will take out the trash, wash dishes or load dishwasher, keep house, etc. Also discuss finances. You both should know what's in the checking %26amp; savings accounts. When my Grandmother died earlier this year, my Grandpa was lost. She'd handled everything for him. Now he's having to learn how to do things that he's not done in over 40 years. Marriage isn't 50-50. It's 100 from both of you. Communication is a HUGE thing. Have lots of it!!
do not be stupid you are still in the save side do not do it.
Make sure this is the person whom you can imagine growing old with. So many people get caught up with the glamour of the preparations and then realize afterwards if they did the right thing. Don't stress over the preparations. I have seen $100,000-$5000.00 weddings. Follow your heart. Does it really matter if your reception is in the church or would you rather pay mega bucks to rent a banquet hall in an expensive hotel?


Wish you the best in your choices
Make sure you both have the same goals with life, children, work, vacations. Everything down to the last little thing! I was about to walk down the aisle with someone when he told me he didnt want kids, well that was the dealbreaker! So I dumped his butt....and now 4 years and 3 kids later with a new husband and I am happy has anything! you have to be right for each other! good luck!
