They Asked . . . You Said Yes Now Where Do You Go From Here? Let the Wedding Planning Begin!

Welcome to Hooray, You’re Getting Married! There are a lot of wedding sites out there that are very fancy and if you look long enough you will find all of the information you need. I am purposely keeping this site simple and directly to the point so you have as much time as possible to get all of the things done for your special day. There are so many things that we'll be discussing here that are all part of planning a wedding:  wedding themes, budget, locations, invitations, favors, catering, wedding planners, oh and let's not forget dresses, flowers, receptions, music, etc., etc.

Most people dream of making their wedding day the happiest day in their life time and it can be done easily with the proper planning. Without that planning . . . well, you can go and read about all of the disasters out there. That being said, when I said ‘easily’ before I did not mean that it won’t take a bit of time and some serious work. If you start out with a fairly well thought out wedding plan and just follow it, you can make the whole process up to your special day memorable. There will be a lot of seriously funny moments and a lot of seriously hair raising ones along the way.

Do You Want to Be a ‘Frazzled Madge’?

The secret to getting to the alter and not being a Frazzled Madge is to have some fun doing it – follow your wedding plan in a methodical way and before you know it that alter will be right in front of you. Many people I know have done just that and when they all talk about their wedding, they spend almost as much time talking about the time up to it as they do about the day itself. I’ve also known people to video and photograph all of this process so they can see it all again afterward – like your own reality show! What will yours be: a tale of horror or one of great fun?

There’s one more thing I want to say up front. Depending upon the lead time up to your wedding day, it is a good thing to schedule some fun time with your fiance/e. Make sure that you plan alone time or at least a couple of weekends away (not doing things for the wedding) – you want to make sure you don’t forget why you are doing all of this in the first place. There is a lot to do and as your wedding day gets closer it will seem like there is even a whole lot more that needs to be done and a whole lot less time to do it. If you have a wedding plan and follow it, you won’t end up feeling so overwhelmed. You will see that a lot of the last minute things have already been done if you are following that plan.
