Happy January!

The Christmas decorations are packed away (well most of them) and it's a new year!  Looking forward to all of the adventures ahead and building relationships with my brides and grooms for 2013!  I get so close to the couples by the time their wedding day arrives and then in a flash it's over and I'm removed from their daily calls, emails and texts.  I am thankful for facebook as I try to be friends with each and keep up with the many adventures ahead for them as husband and wife.  I am so excited when I see that they are expecting, buying a house, etc. and am their silent prayer partner praying all good blessings in their marriage and life ahead.

I am always asked for advise on how to tackle planning a wedding.  In the beginning it can be very overwhelming when you are looking at everything all at once.  But stay calm and make a list of what needs doing:
Wedding Planner
Venue
Ceremony Site
Dress
Begin compiling guest list
Photographer
Videographer
Florist
etc.
...and then just check things off one at a time.  Try not to do everything at once because that is exhausting and if you just keep moving forward, you will have all of the vendors booked and you will not be super stressed out.  There will be plenty of time for all of the details so don't even think about that in the beginning.

I hope you all have a wonderful planning process!!!
