Things that make life easier...

raganw

I am now one month away from what is turning into my dream wedding.  I can honestly say that my stress level is nowhere near as high as I thought it would be, and I attribute that to a few key decisions and perspectives:

- Hired a wedding designer, who is handling all flowers and decor (set up AND break down)

- Booked the HM through a travel agent (other than pick the island and supply the credit card, I didn't have to do a thing - hotel, flights, etc are taken care of!!)

- Only delegate responsibilities to those who can handle it, and only one project at a time

- Take a step back and remember what this whole thing is really about

- HAVE FAITH!!!!!

Ladies, if you have anything to add please feel free.  Let's pass the knowledge on...  let's prevent the shoulda-woulda-coulda's!

See, that's my date twin!!!!  I agree, FI and I hired wedding coordinators who are awesome....venue is a "total package", we simply selected/designed our flowers, cake, and ice sculpture, oh, and food!  We really have enjoyed planning together! 

And yup, I am not stressed either!!!!  Any stress or bothersome stuff in my life is from work....27 days until I am off for the wedding!!! SOOOOOO EXCITING!!!!
