A couple of years ago, Marco and I finally decided to get married, we had been thinking about it for quite some time, but other life priorities led us to postpone the event.
However, I think there is a perfectly timed moment for everything, and in our case, it turned out it was worth waiting for that moment.
Step by step
I don’t think there’s only one way to plan a wedding. On the internet there are many tutorials that guide you step by step to planning the perfect day; of course, some of the steps are fundamental and essential, but I’ve learnt something from my wedding: it’s not just a single day, but rather a long path that leads you to live a wonderful and unforgettable day.
Walking together
Being pragmatic is important: planning a wedding is neither easy nor stress-free. Moreover, if the couple have different ideas, this can lead to misunderstandings and arguments. About this, there’s something I had always hated, and it’s when people say “But you are the bride!”.
Well, a wedding is a lifelong path the couple walks together, and I don’t understand why the celebration has to be planned just by either the bride or the groom alone.
I think what’s right is that both make the decisions to create a perfect day that fully mirrors the essence of the couple itself.
First thing first!
For this reason, the first thing you have to do, before choosing a date, a place, the dress and flowers, before sending the RSPVs to family and friends, the first thing is dedicating some time to the couple – some days or a month – to create together the image of this celebration.
Dream, write, draw, exaggerate! You’ll have time to change things, now you just need to enjoy the moment when everything’s possible.
I’m going to write some articles about how Marco and I planned our magic day, with limited resources, but a lot of love and fantasy.
