any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks :-)Myself and my gorgeous fiancee plan to marry early 2010, and i would appreciate any words of advice...?
What are you waiting for? You've found the woman of your dreams and anything can happen in two years - I had a friend who lost her fiance to a car accident. Grab happiness when it is staring you in the face.
I don't regret the way mine worked out.
I'd known him about 9 months, just as a friend of a friend. He asked me out on the 9th May for a drink and to share problems; he asked me to marry him on the 18th May, I agreed on 24th and we went and bought a ring then to the Register Office for a marriage in 3 months.
We married on 24th August 1959 with barely two pennies to rub together and very little furniture in a rented flat. With the 20-odd people who turned up, uninvited (!), to throw confetti we all went to a steak bar after the ceremony, and then they took us to the railway station, one big happy band, as they saw us off to two weeks honeymoon in Cornwall.
Still together, almost 49 years later. Looking back I wouldn't have done it any other way.Myself and my gorgeous fiancee plan to marry early 2010, and i would appreciate any words of advice...?
It doesn't take two years to save up money for a wedding. If it does, then maybe some priorities need to be readjusted. My husband and I were only engaged a few months. Our wedding cost $400. Also, the cheaper the wedding, the more likely it will last a lifetime.

Put your fiancee first. She might get the impression you are self centred, when she reads your question.
Don't expect too much on your wedding day. That way you will not be too disappointed if anything goes wrong, or it doesn't turn out to be THE most wonderful day in your lives.
Time will fly and you will regret not having been able to talk to all guests the way you wanted to.
Take it easy and not too seriously.
Good luck!
I still have to wait more years to marry but there are some things (details) i can recall to you in case you forget it. This is not for the wedding day but for the whole relationship.
Be sweet, serious, mature and smile a lot. This is also a big day for her so make her feel unique by being yourself and treat her as a princess. Never take something for granted.
I know what i said sound silly, but women like details and she is probably the one who will retell the wedding more than a man.
Good luck

I was glad we had a photographer present at the evening reception as most of the pics I love are from then as i was very chilled by that time.
just put god as the center of ur relationship, understand each other, gain more trust honesty, appreciate all the negatives on both parties and live like everythings fine,ok....
i think it's gonna be a long, long, lonely time, my freind...
My best words of advice: Do what you both want... not what her Mother wants.. not what your mother wants.
Dont invite people you dont really want to invite %26amp; dont do things to impress others.
It is ONE day in your lives. (A very important one tho!) In a few years, only the 2 of you will remember the details.. so make sure its how YOU want it to be. It can be soooo easy to be swept away by how things 'should' be done. DONT!!
Even if it means you dont invite great aunty mary.....so that you can invite a close friend.. do it YOUR way. Nobody elses!
Oh %26amp; a final word of advice: when you say your vows.. be looking at each other.. not the registrar/minister. You are saying them to each other not him! So look as though u mean it.
Have a stand up comedian instead of best man speaches :P that would be awesome!!
good luck to you both ^^
dont listen to people who may mock the length of your engagement because you are giving each other time to evolve and develop the love you share. being engaged is only something you will do once so enjoy every second of it
Apart from her looks, is there anything you really like? Think hard. Because in 20 (if you're lucky) years and after 2 kids, you might wake up one morning and wonder why you did it. Sorry to sound dismal, but it happens again and again.
Sounds like you are both very much in love and you do love her for being herself. Best of luck to you both. Best advice I can give is always to look for the best in each other, and save (money and other things) as much as you can for your life together.
my advice is to get married early 2009 why put it off another 2 years? if i got a fiancee i would marry her within a year.
Congratulations on your Big Day !!
Things that I wish I'd done differently..........make sure as many times as possible that if you've got someone at the service videoing the ceremony, that the camera is working!
My brother-in-law was meant to be filming the whole thing, but then 5 minutes after the ceremony was meant to have started........the brides perogative to be late!.......the camera wouldn't work, so I don't have a video of the wedding :o(
And one for the bride. If she has a long train on the dress, don't forget to have someone straighten it once you're at the alter.
Loads of people took pics of me and hubby during the service, and my beautiful train is a mess. Just one of those little things thats easily forgotten!
Only word of advice that I have is make sure that you have a great photographer, the day will go bye in no time flat and you will feel like you missed a ton of stuff. The pictures will help you re-live the moments for a life time. Make sure to give the photographer a list of ';must have'; photos. The day of the wedding you will most likely forget some of the more important photos that you wanted to have taken, and since there are no re-do's of this day, you want to have the memories.
Good luck and congrats.
The day of the wedding try to remember not to sweat the small stuff. Everything that you can do has already been planned-if something goes wrong-such as the cake or flowers are late-don't let it spoil your day-you will still be married %26amp; will have funny stories to tell your friends.
Be supportive if your bride seems stressed-women normally have planned the perfect wedding for both of you %26amp; they want everything to be perfect. If something does not go as planned just tell her that she is there %26amp; that is the most important thing to you. Good luck.
Stay in love :) 2010 is a long way to go and a 2 year preparation is way too long :) ... if you're too prepared your excitement will fade and everything would be predictable and boring.my advice you marry her at the day she least expect and be happy :)
I wanted badly to do a butterfly release as we kissed...kinda like a modern take on the dove release.
Something that really helped me with my wedding planning was working with people I felt a connection with (the caterer, on site coordinator, florist, fairy cake lady...she really is!)... Just pick people you think are wonderful because they likely feel the same about you and they will work harder for you... I had extras thrown into my wedding at no extra charge because I connected with these people. And really when it comes to a few extra flowers on the tables, an extra appetizer to be bussed out during the reception line, or a dusting of sliver on the tips of the flowers on your cake... it really makes the day that much better. Plus you feel more relaxed knowing that there are people looking out for you! Congratulations! Oh and I suggest starting work on your vows now if you're planning on writing them!
Congratulation, weddings are the best time. I think the best thing we did was to get a DVD of it. I was not a professional one just one my friend done for us. But it recorded all the wedding that goes past so quick and after you will not remember hardly anything. So being able to look back at that is lovely. Also on the day relax, Don't get yourself worked up about things that are out of your control. On my wedding we paid more that average for our wedding cake and I had in my head this beautifully cake. But when it came it was totally wrong and toppled over as it was to heavy. But I just thought ';oh well, there is nothing else to do with it now';. I could of got myself all upset, but it would of spoiled the rest of the day. From the moment you wake up in the morning what ever is in place is like that for the day, if something goes wrong brush it off and remember all that went right. The most important thing is that you two exchange rings and make your voles. Good luck and have fun.
Just remember it is yours and your wife to be's day - no one elses - don't let people take over.
It is about enjoying yourselves - don't get too hung up on everything being perfect - its about you and her being together forever not about stressing over the things that dont matter or won't matter after the day.
ENJOY.
If you really want advice from my experience - DON'T DO IT! RUN, RUN AWAY!
Do I sound negative and anti-marriage? Well, so would you if you had my experiences.
