When Ben knelt down on one knee and asked me to marry him I thought “how exciting, I get to marry the man of my dreams and plan a wedding!” I mean how hard can it be? Pick a colour theme, some dresses, flowers and say ‘I do’ right? Wrong, well for me it wasn't that simple anyway, I had many challenges to face. Planning my wedding was one of the biggest learning experiences of my life. Now I have made it past the 'I do' and am happily married I really want to share my experience with others so they can enjoy the process and avoid some of the stressful situations I confronted.If you’re not hiring a professional wedding planner my first piece of advice is to get yourself a wedding planner book and tick tasks off as you go. Also, listen to people’s advice but make sure you don’t let anyone tell you what to do, and make sure you stay positive because this is YOUR big day to shine!
I have to admit, I have no immediate plans to get married. I unfortunately don't even have any plans for dates in the near future. But I've been in enough weddings to know that when my time comes, Ivory Truth will be a nice resource. It's clear from her voice that Hepburn's book comes from the heart and her own personal experiences, but it's general enough to keep the focus on providing practical advice for brides-to-be. The best part of the book is that it is to the point; each section is short and sweet, so busy brides can pull the advice they need and get on to their own planning of their special day!
I haven't read the complete book however, I read the sample on Smashwords. I LOVED it. Not that I'm getting married anytime soon. at all. But I found it helpful for the future and a interesting as I remember when my sister was planning her wedding.
