A note from the Editor

Editor's Note

Marriage is an adventure, and your wedding is the first official chapter. As you plan, and book and continue planning, you may feel a sense that the prequel is wrapping up. Enjoy the prelude of being engaged, there’s no rush to the altar, because why rush to forever? The best wedding advice I can possibly give is to enjoy the engagement and revel in the journey.

Being flexible when possible, and decisive where important will prove a difficult, but worthy balance to keep. Remember that with every uniquely you decision, there will be relatives offering alternatives and preferences. This is your wedding. The decisions you make with your future spouse will prove again and again that you are marrying the person who understands you best.

However big or small, your wedding is going to come together. The seemingly insurmountable to-do lists will get shorter, I promise. The big day will come (you’ll have so much fun), and it’ll pass. Afterwards you’ll be married, and a few weeks later, on a sunny Saturday morning, you’ll wonder how you ever found time to fit in wedding planning on top of everything else.
