All your personal choice, do not rush this time of your lives. Savor the moment, work together. Pick out that China pattern together. Do not just let him sit on the couch while you are on Bloomingdales for six hours rocking your mind whether you want Vira Wang or Wedge Wood. Do it together and you will both happier in the long run.

The one sad part of this time is that you got to start thinking about your budget because, you know, can you have a $100,000.00 wedding, a $10, 000 wedding, it really does not matter because you will have to your own special touches on it and it will be the most wonderful day of life. So just have fun, savor it and really try to involve your family if you can to because mother laws and moms and others really like to feel so they have landed a hand up participated.
