Wedding planner Megan Gillikin as plenty of insider tips to help you plan a fantastic wedding (and still stick to your budget)!
Even though it’s about 13 years ago, I remember being stressed at times when planning our wedding.
Just like we heard at the top of the show, as soon as you announce your engagement it can feel like you’re being swarmed with questions about the big day.
But as much as your loved ones mean well, it can be easy to forget how personal this is.
For some, it’s something they planned and dreamed for years while others are looking for a very laid back and casual affair.
It’s a celebration and a promise that you to make to each other in front of your loved ones depending on the wedding you have.
There can be plenty of moving parts which can be overwhelming and stressful.
The two of you need to sit down and start talking about which things you’d like to have and which things are must-haves
You also may have family members who want to help out.
You have venues, vendors, and maybe some out of town guests to make arrangements for.
Oh, and of course paying for it.
