Aah, Weddings... everyone loves a Wedding. There are sooo many things to do to get ready for a Wedding, that it's nice when it's easier to find stuff in one place -- here! I love all the stuff that you can do (and get!) online, these days. This is gonna save everyone a lot of time and money, so that'll be good for your Relationships!

Now, I've had two weddings (ooh, will there ever be a third, you might ask... and to that I say, "One can always hope", but that's only because I was married for a long time, and I know how great marriage can be when it is good... that's the tricky part for me, it seems... keeping it good! ha,ha!). Back to the 'Two Wedding' bit... one was enormous and expensive, and the other an elopement and very inexpensive. Guess which one lasted the longest? That's right -- the cheap one. So the amount of money you put into the Wedding has very little to do with how well the Marriage will go. Do what you feel is right for you, and try to keep your focus on the marriage as much as on your wonderful Wedding Day.

There are a few things I wish I'd known from the First Wedding, though, and a couple of things from the Second Marriage.

1. Don't get too tangled up in the tiny details. The fights aren't worth it, but they may be a precursor to what disagreements in the marriage might look like, so pay attention.

2. If your husband-to-be has a greater interest in a Big Fancy Wedding than you do, figure out why before the Wedding. All Pomp and Circumstance? A need to seem more important? Perhaps a teensy bit gay? (Keep your eyes wide open, as they say...!)

3. Sometimes a man (or woman) will want a Giant Wedding so it's too hard to back out of at the last minute. I think that's a huuuge part of why I wanted to Elope for the last Wedding -- seemed like a better option. That, and I wanted to get married on the Beach, and had just bought a house...

4. Spend a reasonable amount of money on your Wedding, but make sure you don't spend, say, your Downpayment on a Home, for one Big Day. I know it's an important day, but every day after that is even more important, so keep that in mind with every new idea you might want to add to your Wedding...

5. Oh, don't forget to make sure your spouse-to-be is good with their money, because soon enough, it's gonna be your money, too, that they get to deal with, and if they're a crappy money manager, you're in for a rough ride. If you know for sure that you're really good with your money, but your spouse-to-be says you're not, let that be a Big Red Flag for you. I've written a whole article about that -- Marry Rich, just so you can have a much happier marriage, without someone wrecking it by being a jerk. (See how I tidied up that last line? It's all very 'family-friendly' up in here...!) Financial Issues usually appear during the Wedding Planning Stage, so please-oh-please, listen carefully to what's said during those 'discussions'.

6. Congratulations! You're Getting Married! WooHoo!! Now go buy your own house, so you can live Happily Ever After!

One of my favorite books is a beautiful book of Poetry by Kahlil Gibran, called The Prophet. I'm pretty sure it's on my favorite Book Page, but I'll go see if it's there. - Ailsa's Amazon.com page - I always get the Amazon.com Gift Certificates, especially for Family & Friends who live further away. The Amazon Gift Certificates are delivered in days, and they're incredibly easy for anyone to use. Perfect Gift Idea!
