Can’t Agree on the Ceremony

You and your fiancé just can’t agree on how the wedding ceremony will go down? It’s time to compromise, folks. It’s an important day, yes, but whatever you decide, make it a decision you’ll both be happy with or neither of you will enjoy your special day.

It’s all too easy to get “me” centered when it comes to your wedding. After all, it’s a one-time event you always want to remember, and frankly, we girls have likely dreamed about it all our lives. But you may not be able to have the fantasy wedding of your dreams. What’s realistic and within your budget and circumstances? And what’s important to your fiancé?

Talk about what’s important to each of you. Write down your top 10 desires, and then number them from 1 to 10, 1 being the most important. Then see how you can take both of your top needs and incorporate it into your wedding day.

Is an outdoor wedding important to him? Is a church wedding important to her? Is the music important to her, and the photography important to him? Don’t ignore your conflict—the problem won’t go away. Communicate and compromise, and find a balance that will make your day a memory of a lifetime for both of you.
