• choose a location that amplifies your mutual preferences and interests.

There's more, but let's stop here😁.

Are you scared of wedding planning burnout?

Planning a wedding is an exciting journey, but it can also be a bit overwhelming at times. Here are some insights to make the process smoother and more enjoyable:

Set Realistic Expectations: Your wedding day should reflect you as a couple, not someone else's Pinterest board. Embrace your unique style and don't feel pressured to meet unrealistic standards.

Budget Wisely: Determine your budget early on and stick to it. Prioritize what matters most to you and allocate funds accordingly. A well-planned budget helps avoid financial stress.

Work-Life-Wedding Balance: Don't let wedding planning consume your life. It's essential to maintain a healthy work-life-wedding balance. Set aside dedicated 'wedding-free' time to relax and recharge.

Get Help: You don't have to do it all on your own! Enlist the support of friends and family, or consider hiring a wedding planner. They can help with the details and alleviate some of the workload.

Plan Strategically: Break the planning process into manageable tasks and create a timeline. This keeps you organized and prevents last-minute rushes.

Remember, your wedding day is a celebration of love, and the journey leading up to it should be enjoyable too. 💕 Stay true to yourselves, keep an eye on your budget, seek help when needed, plan strategically, and maintain that essential balance.

You've got this! 🥂✨

I learnt recently that marriage is a call to self-death!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This doesn't mean that you lose your identity as a person or the essence of your individuality. It just means that in marriage, it is no more about you alone, but you and the person with whom you will be building a future together.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
You get to merge your dreams, fears, cultures and life. You actively work towards being on the same page even if you have differences - as it is expected. No spouse's agenda is greater than the other persons, but by having discussions in love and wisdom, you can cultivate the art of patience, prioritizing and compromising.​​​​​​​​

Don't forget those miscellaneous items!​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Nothing can be as disturbing as making expenses for things you didn't know about. Your drafting will not be complete until you plan for things that you dont event know about.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Miscellaneous items may differ from one to another, but items like tips for the valet at the venue, extra pairs of foot ware and power bank (you probably might not have your charger in your overnight bag) are some things that make it on the list.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Don't you just hate when things creep up on you?​​​​​​​​
