Getting married to my husband is by far the
best thing I have done in my life (thus far).
I do, however, remember being a bit over-
whelmed by the enormity of planning my
"big day."

The best advice I can give to couples
planning their wedding is, try not to let the
stress overshadow the joy of preparing for
this important event. Don't let outside inter-
ference dictate your day. It should be
exactly as the two of you envision it.

And, most importantly, make sure to ENJOY
EVERY MOMENT. Before you know it, your
wedding day will come and go, leaving you
with nothing but a blissful memory.
