GETTING STARTED
You said “YES ! “. Now, it’s time to start planning and get things organized.
To help you get started, below is a general checklist on the things that you need to consider for your budget. There is no rule on how much you should spend for your wedding. But before you start thinking about the costs, think about your priorities first. Remember that a wedding is not a display of special effects. It’s a sacrament. It’s a display of your love for each other. No matter how small or big your wedding is, it’s your lifetime commitment to each other that will count. Whether you are planning a simple or lavish wedding, the checklist below will help you get started.
Congratulations and Best wishes!
