If you could give one piece of wedding planning advice to a newly engaged girl... what would it be?
My advice would be to have a long engagement!!
By the time I get married, we will have been engaged for almost 2 years and I wouldn't ask for any thing less!
Having a long engagement allowed us a few months to enjoy being engaged without any planning. It also allowed us to thoroughly do our research and be able to get the choice of vendors that are our first pick since we booked early. And of course it allows us time to save our money!
It's a pain to wait.... but it'll be worth the wait!

My advice is take your time when planning. Do your research and don't ever let a vendor push you into something. I would also say to do what makes you happy for your wedding. Remember that everyone has their own opinion, but in the end you know what's best for you, FH, and the wedding. Finally, have fun dress shopping! Look around in advance to get a good idea of what suits you.

Posted by Eunified 3)Live with FH.. I saw firsthand how my brother's marriage fell apart and it realllly freaked me out with moving in with FH.. I was so worried that we would start fighting more but it really has been a joy! And makes me SOOOO much more confident that I am making the right decision!
Totally agree!! We moved in together after 14 months dating and got engaged a month later. It was the best decision I made.
I agree. My parents weren't very happy FH and I were moving in together, but now she says it was the best decision we could have made. She thinks we both really matured and grew together as a couple.

Do one thing at a time. Don't rush. Do your homework. Most importantly, JOIN LIWEDDINGS!

And I would tell them if they are ever in a public bathroom, put your ring under the hand dryer for a few seconds. It really makes it sparkle!!! (I just did this last night haha )
