One wedding plan quite often overlooked is, the actual preparation of the to-do list itself. If the to-do-list is not organized and itemised properly with all your wedding desires then you can expect last minute hiccups. This part of planning your wedding is the conclusion to a beginning. Meaning, now you have the list in order (finished), you can start the ball rolling.

To avoid any disappointment on your wedding day – prep friends and family in advance who have offered their services to help. To lighten the load you need to allot each person with a wedding task. You need to remind each helper after receiving their instructions that they need to report back with a progress report on how they are getting along with their assignment.

Wedding tasks may include ordering the wedding cake, ordering flowers from the florist, wedding cars to transport the bride, bridesmaid dresses, decorating the reception hall, arranging entertainment right down to what hymns are sung in the church for the marriage service. All of these are wedding plans which are considerably important so therefore the reason why you need to be kept updated.

Do you the betrothed find you’re self in a catch 22 situation i.e. worrying over having to ask others for help with your wedding arrangements who you feel may give you reason for concern in not fulfilling their duties, or, are you worried if you don’t the pressure will be to much for you going it alone.

Unnecessary stress before the wedding is not good. Okay so you need help, well, the first thing to do is pick family members and friends you can trust in carrying out your requests. The more intimate the friend is with you the better because, they know your traits, likes and dislikes so therefore if faced with a dilemma – having to make a decision on your behalf in your absence it will be in your best interest. (This is where trust prevails)

One wedding plan is to sit down with your disciples and talk things through. You will be surprised how this will help ease pressure. Give them each a note pad to make their own wedding to-do-list on your behalf and then compare notes when the sitting is over. Once again there maybe surprises in store with what each individual sees fit for your wedding. Ask each friend before hand if they will be comfortable with the wedding task you have assigned to them. If you receive an indecisive reply then it gives you the opportunity to reallocate them with a different assignment, The more finer in detail of what you want from them will get you positive results.

Wedding plans normally entail Bridal Gown, headwear, bridesmaid dresses, wedding cars, booking the church, wedding cake, flowers, wedding rings, entertainment, photographer, food, wedding invitations, wedding speech, marriage vows and venue hall.

The list is endless but the most important of all wedding essentials not be forgotten is to have the groom at your side.

Before dressing in white – Get it right.

The marriage proposal is a huge step in any relationship. It’s something that women look forward to their entire lives. For that reason, it is essential that the proposal is completely unforgettable. Unforgettable does not have to equate to expensive. It is a moment that will be recounted over and over again for better or worse. If you just spring the question at a fast food joint, it will be a bit embarrassing when her co-workers, family, and friends ask how it happened.
First and foremost, make the marriage proposal personal. Hopefully, you know her better than anyone else in the world. Consider her interests, likes, dislikes, and preferences. Once you have taken all of that into consideration, plan a few ideas for the proposal. You can make the ideas as simple or complex as you want. If you have the financial means, you can fly to an exotic or particularly romantic spot to pop the question. If not, do not become discouraged. You can still plan a day to remember. I once heard that once a proposal has been done, it cannot be yours. This is true to a certain extent. Rather than copying an exact idea from a friend or the web, take general pointers and put your creative personal touches on it.
If the idea stage becomes truly challenging, resort to one of her trusted female friends or close family member. You can even hire a proposal planner to make it a perfect day. It’s important that the person is trustworthy to keep the secret. The little touches should not be underestimated. If you can, include a heartfelt song, a beautiful love note, or poem.
The element of surprise is extremely essential as well. Many women are planners by nature. Your partner may typically plan your dates, trips, etc. The proposal should have that element of surprise for her. She will be touched to know that you planned all of the details. If your proposal requires traveling or specific arrangements, keep all of the information out of sight and to yourself. The more you involve outside help, the greater the chance that the information will leak to her. Many restaurants, hotels, and venues are happy to assist with the details if you let them in on your plan.
The main purpose of the proposal, of course, is to convey how you feel about spending your life with her. Let her know how you feel about her in your own words. If it helps, you can write out your thoughts ahead of time or even practice. It’s normal to be nervous about taking such a big step, but remember to take deep breaths and relax. Women have varying ideas about whether the proposal should be traditional and on one knee or not. Most women give hints to their dream proposal so tune in for that information. If possible, have someone video tape the actual proposal or take a few photos. That way, the memories will be captured for the future.
