Don't let the upcoming event and responsibilities stress you and your future mate. It is a fact that wedding planning alone has played a major part in creating stressful situations, disagreements and lifelong grudges. Don't get caught up in all of this. The most important thing to remember is the two of you need to stick together, compromise when necessary and stay focused on the reasons for it all.

Family is sure to be involved in the planning and decisions, make a promise to each other to consider each other's family and traditions and to compromise so that no feelings are hurt in the process.

These days there is really no right or wrong way to get married. It is your decision as to which traditional customs you want to include and those you feel could be left out. Check with your consultant to be sure.
