Wedding Planning Tips

I’ve been engaged for about two months. My parents don’t approve of my engagement, but never really told me why. I have very over protective parents and I have a very “people pleaser” personality, and I always try extremely hard to please my parents. They were very angry when I told them I was engaged, and they haven’t brought it up since. They just are acting like I am not engaged.
I graduated college recently and am working full time. I don’t expect my parents to pay for any part of my wedding. My fiance is getting deployed soon, and we were originally thinking about getting married the summer after he gets back. I’ve been dreaming about marrying him for a long time, and now that the time is here to plan and look for a dress and all that fun stuff…I just don’t even want to because my parents made me feel so terrible about wanting to get married. My fiance and I were talking about just getting married at a court house before he leaves and maybe having a ceremony when he gets back. (I say maybe because he wants a ceremony and I’m to the point where the stress of not wanting to displease my parents is not worth having a wedding ceremony).
I want to enjoy this time in my life, because it’s the only time it’s ever going to happen, but I can’t overcome the guilt about displeasing my parents. Help?

My fiance and I have this problem.
We need help.
We can’t seem to compromise because the music is the most important thing to us lol
I mean its not more important than the wedding… We might not even have an option of music the first time we get married due to our financial problem (we’re broke).
But one day we do want to have a big fancy wedding or something.
So this is for future reference…I like to plan… a lot.

when i palm mute on any string it seems to ring out when i take my palm off of it. this is a problem when trying to play music involving a palm mute on the low e string then hitting a note on the a/d string, because the low e is ringing when i take my palm off of it and it’s making it sound like i’m doing a power chord instead of a note on the low e then one on the a/d. examples of songs involving this technique; Unholy confessions by avenged sevenfold, perfect weapon by black veil brides, aesthetics of hate by machine head. *hope i didn’t make it too confusing, didn’t know how to explain it well*

Wedding planning can be both exciting and challenging. It involves a lot of time, patience and creativity. A lot of consideration is done from choosing the right wedding gown to considering the wedding photography in Phoenix. If this is not exhausting enough, just think of planning a double wedding. It will surely be twice the excitement but also twice the hard work.

Double weddings are ideal for sisters, cousins and best friends who are planning to get married on the same month. Preparing a double wedding can be a bit complicated but it has its advantages as well. One advantage is that both couples will be able to share the costs of the wedding preparations and reduce the stress brought about by the planning process because there are now four people planning the event. Guests who are related to both couples will be able to save money especially on travel expenses by attending one wedding rather than two separate ones.

Planning a double wedding can be quite tricky. This type of wedding is rare so you have to figure out many of the details first before starting the preparations. To make it easier here are a few planning tips to make sure that your double wedding will not be double the trouble:

• For the wedding invitations, it may be confusing how the couple’s names will be written. If the brides are sisters, it is a good idea to list the older sister’s name first. For instance, “Mr. and Mrs. John Patterson request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughters Michelle Anne to William Drake and Cristina Mae to Jonathan Douglas…” It should be clear that there will be a double wedding so that the guests will also be able to plan accordingly. The rest of the invitation details would be similar to other wedding invitations.

• Because there are two couples to be wed, it will be a little different from the traditional ceremony. Discuss which wedding ceremony will go first. Traditionally, the older bride gets this privilege. To make sure everything will work out smoothly, a good suggestion is to practice beforehand. This will help both couples to have a clear idea of the flow of the service and avoid confusion at the actual ceremony.

• One concern of each bride in a double wedding is not having her own spotlight moment. One possible solution is to have each bride choose different bridesmaid dresses which is way to express her individuality. But it is advised that both brides choose from the same color palette.

• Wedding gifts may also create confusion. Guests will think that they should give separate gifts for each couple. If you are close to only one of the couples then only one gift is required. Since this may cause a problem, it is wise to add this valuable information in your reception card or post it on your wedding website.

Planning the wedding together with the other couple can be demanding and difficult. You may even fight over little decisions like choosing the wedding photography in Phoenix or hiring those famous violinists from Glendale. Learn to compromise and understand one other through each important detail because this will be a big step in achieving the wedding of your dreams.
