Relationship Advice: Together We Can Move Mountains
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!
