Weddings are one of the most important days in someone's life. But if you don't keep your head things can get crazy real fast. Speaking from first hand experience that can happen before you know it. There's so much to do and not everyone is actually there to help, especially if you us an outside person whom you really don't know very well. They might only be out for their own interest and not necessarily yours. If you are going to get a wedding planner or outside vendors to help the best place to start is asking advice from people you know that have gotten married already. They are the best source for information and probably the most reliable.
The very first thing you need to decide is how much you can afford to spend on a wedding. A few questions you may need to ask yourself to decide this is what type of wedding do we want and whether to plan it ourselves or to get a wedding planner or other vendors to help. If you ask some of your friends or family members about things you could get some pretty good advice and assistance if you want it. Then decide who is paying for it. Despite what tradition says a majority of couples are paying for their own wedding even if it's the first wedding. And if it's not your first wedding it's still ok for others to help if they want to. Your budget is the number one key to how big or small the wedding can be and vice versa if you want a big wedding you might have to wait a little longer for more funds to be available.
Also get your fiancé' involved, sometimes they have pretty good ideas and you don't want to alienate him/her. It is good to get together and discuss what the other half of the wedding might want in a ceremony especially if each of you are of different religions or beliefs. That could also have a big bearing on a lot of things from budget to when and where. I know a lot of guys probably don't want to have much input so just get the basics especially regarding religion. That way you can at least try to incorporate some of his beliefs into the whole thing some where.
The best advice to remember is to just breath and take your time don't jump into things all scatter brained. The wedding industry is designed to keep you on edge so they can get the most out of you and before you know it nothing is what you really wanted. So take your time ask a lot of questions and don't let no one push you into an instant decision.
This will be one of the most important day of your lives as a married couple. Take your time and just think of what each other might want and don't worry about anyone else's wants.
