This is about the time of year that I start hearing about guys popping the “BIG” question- Will you marry me?  Between Christmas and Valentine’s Day many engagements happen.  So, if you are someone you know has recently gotten engaged- first Congratulations!!!  After you decide on the big day, determine your budget and venue.  After those important decisions are made start thinking about the other important vendors for your day.  If you are working with a Wedding Planner, this person can help you find quality vendors that fall within your budget.  If you have certain vendors, like a photographer, that you like you should book them early to ensure they are available.  Try and keep the stress to a minimum, enjoy the planning and remember that at the end of the day if you marry the one your heart loves then everything will fall into place just fine!
