Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 2:14AM Tips for planning up to the big day and helpful hints for the day of!
• Take traditions with a grain of salt.
I wish I would’ve known when I was planning my wedding that it’s my day and I don’t have to do all that routine wedding stuff if I don’t want to. Personally, from experience weddings go by super fast! Especially when you are the bride or groom. I mean have you ever googled “wedding day timeline” and just looked at the typical list of things you “have” to do the day of. It is completely overwhelming. Don’t waste precious wedding day time that you are spending a fortune on doing a bouquet toss or a grand march if you don’t want to. Spend the day doing things that are fun to you and your groom whether it’s eating a lot, dancing a lot, taking crazy photo booth pictures, or just chillin with your family. Remember it’s about you and your groom!
• Make sure that you like your wedding photographer.
Whether it happens to be me or not. Just know that this is the vendor you will spend the majority of your big day with. So don’t settle for a run of the mill photographer that will likely be awkward and no fun to be around. This will make a difference! Also know that going the cheaper route with photography can often bite you in the butt on the day of. A lack of experience on the photographer’s part can waste more of your precious time.
• Decide for yourself what’s most important to you.
Every bride is different. Some the hair and makeup is tops, some it’s the dress, some it’s the venue, some it’s the cake ;) (I like those brides), some it’s photography (that’s me!), some it's how white their teeth are (random), and some it’s the favors (weird). My point is, there are a gazillion advertisements and vendors trying to sway you at what is “really” the most important. And of course, the invitation company is going to try and convince you that they ARE the most important. Trust me, I know as a former bride, it feels as if everything is the most important. But in reality, most of us have a budget and can't freely spend on every little detail. So only you, can sit down without of the influence of your best friends advice or magazines, or your mother in law (totally not a diss on my mother in law, you know, just a generality) and really decide for yourself what is most important. If you do that, whatever it is, you will be thankful and have no regrets!
Ok, these ended up more detailed than I planned. So I will do just 3 for now. Check back again for continued updates on wedding tips. And if you have a comment from your own experience, let the other readers know in the comment box ☺

Monday, July 26, 2010 at 8:31PM side note, actually not just for newlyweds! read on if you are single, married, newlywed or divorced.
So... my friend Bailey and I were talking the other day about marriage. Bailey and her husband, Mark are also newlyweds like Sterling and I. She told me about some amazing podcast sermons online by Matt Carter. The Austin Stone Church did a series on marriage, singleness, divorce and sex. She highly recommended that I listen to them. So yesterday I did. And it hit me like a ton of bricks. I realized wow, I work with people that are about to get married and need to hear this stuff! Marriage is not an easy road to take by any means. If you think that marriage is about fulfilling your own dreams of happiness, you are wrong. There is a higher purpose and calling for marriage. It is a forever decision. How many other choices do you make in life that are forever, that are a vow to another person and to God forever? Did you know that marriage is a picture of Christ's love for His Church? A picture of His unending pursuit of His bride, the church. If this is something you may have never heard before and don't completely understand, I encourage you to click on the link below and take some time to listen to some of these.
