Pick up any book on planning a wedding and you’ll end up with so many do’s and don’ts on every aspect of the event that it begins to overwhelm you. Some women are known to have suffered nervous breakdowns in the midst of preparations. Scary, no?
“Do I really want to go through with this shebang?”, you ask yourself as your nerves begin to jingle and jangle. Budgeting and where to get the funds is one thing, but the stress a wedding generates puts such enormous strain on the couple that it does take a clever make-up artist to camouflage the manifestations of six to twelve months of stress. Would-be brides break out, they lose weight (or gain weight if they overeat as a result of stress), and can’t focus very well. Mostly it’s the skin rashes like pimples and hives that are disconcerting.
We’d like to share some wedding tips with you, but read them only if you’re relaxed. We’ve taken a different approach – a lighter discussion on some aspects of the wedding planning scenario that you’ll need to grapple with as you go along. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that just because you’ve hired a professional wedding planner to handle all the nitty-gritty, you’re home free. Like it or not, folks, you’re still very much part of the “manufacturing” process. Producing a wedding just isn’t possible if the planner can’t consult with you every single day.
So bon courage, as the French say, and take it as another one of those “hiccups” in life. YOU can make it fun and the rule is to enjoy yourself – even in the chaos!
Important Wedding Tip - Do We Have Good Credit?
We’re not asking you to wait until you hit your 40s to get married because your judgment has matured by then. But when planning a wedding, you’ll need to harness good judgment early on, especially when it concerns the financial aspects of planning a wedding. If you’re in your 20’s, act with the wisdom of a 40-year old when you establish your wedding budget. You don’t want to end up cash-strapped for the next 10 years of your lives because you overdid it – in the ceremony, reception and in the honeymoon.
If you haven’t got enough cash and your parents are unable to contribute, speak to your banker and see if he’ll increase your line of credit. If you’ve got a healthy credit score, he will empathize with you and gladly extend you credit. Everyone knows that getting married can be financially draining.
Hold a wedding that you can afford. Never mind the Joneses. If you want to invite the whole community because you’re the type of person who can’t bear to exclude anyone, then settle for a less formal wedding. If you really want a formal wedding, then scale back on your wedding list. Decide what’s important.
