Heed this Advice
It’s your wedding; it should be about the Bride and Groom — no one else! The style you like, the food you like, the decor and music you like! Decide up front on things the Bride and Groom each really want and do not want as part of the ceremony/reception. There will be more expenses than you planned for; include a contingency in your budget to cover unexpected costs. ~Helen McLaughlin/Bride
