One of you has just popped the question and the other’s said ‘yes’… Congratulations!
But what’s next on the journey from getting engaged to getting married? Where the hell does one start?
Well…
1. Get Celebrating!
It may seem obvious, but many couples don’t think about sitting down alone and reveling in the moment. This is one of the biggest choices you’ll ever make: You have just literally chosen your person for better or for worse. So, pop open a bottle of champagne and just enjoy the moment.
2. Get Talking!
Make time to discuss what kind of wedding you’d each like to have, the guest list, who the best man and the maid of honour will be, and if there are any traditions you’d like your big day to include. Keep in mind that each of you has had an idea of what your (singular) wedding would look like for many years, but it’s your (plural) wedding now, so compromises will have to be reached. Why all this? Because communication is the key to ensuring your wedding isn’t only successful but enjoyable.
3. Get Researching!
From asking your family and friends for advice to going through the Get Hitched blog, research can help you plan your wedding in Malta better and, possibly, for cheaper. Bridal magazines and Pinterest boards can also help you get a better idea of what’s out there, what can be done, and how your ideas can materialise. It’s good to have a budget in mind when doing this, though, as things may add up quickly!
4. Get Organised!
Who’s in charge of what and what’s the timeframe on things? By splitting the job – and including family and friends – you will be less stressed as you plan your wedding. What’s important to keep in mind is that the more people you ask for help, the more opinions will be thrown at you – so make sure to put your foot down straight away. Disclaimer: Be kind when doing so, they’re only trying to help!
