Relationship Advice: Together We Can Move Mountains

27 January 2014 By In Relationship Advice

Putting on a wedding can be like a military manoeuvre. It needs to be planned with precision to ensure that all goes well on the day. Ask any married couple and they will tell you that a wedding won't all just happen around you.

You need to be in the driving seat and everyone around you needs to know what they are doing, when they are doing it and most importantly how they are going to do it. However, do be very careful to include sensitivity and thoughtfulness in with the planning. Some people can feel that they are being asked to do too much and don't want to let you down and others would love to be asked to do more and are just waiting in the wings for the nod!

So start off by taking a look at the people around you and think about what skills each individual has to offer. Remember that everyone has something to give – from large things to small - from grandparents to children!  You may even have an unmarried friend who would love to help.  Everyone can feel included and not isolated or left out.
 
Don’t forget, even though it may seem like a military manoeuvre it isn't – it’s your wedding!
 
Tips:
 
  • You may be more organised than your fiancée so think of this as your first joint venture. There will probably be the ups and downs along the way but be loving and kind as you work together.
  • No joint ventures are easy and some take years to come together – be patient with all those around you.
  • Think of the people who would love to have some involvement in your wedding arrangements.
  • You probably won’t have years to get your wedding off the ground so get organised with a schedule and lists.
  • Make sure that everyone involved is quite clear about what they have to do.
  • Planning a wedding is hard work so be sure to say thank you along the way to your team.
