"Dear #Brides, Your #Groom has Spoken!!"

I have written this post today to help and guide all my awesome Brides out there planning fabulous weddings! Today is all about what your groom is really trying to say to you. Don't read to fast because this is going to be a short little message!

Dear Brides,

     Congratulations on getting engaged to the man you love. He is the man who completes you and makes everything right in the world. He always listened to your every word and gave advice or maybe he just nodded. Brides, ask yourself these questions: Is my groom into fashion, music, food , etc? What has he always talked about prior to engagement when we were just two love birds getting to know each other? Does he enjoy watching "My Fair Wedding" or would he rather watch football and let you and the girls enjoy all of that? When it's time to go shopping is he the kind of guy that goes with you, gives you the money and says call up your girls, does he surprise you and buy you things? Brides, I want you to think about all these questions and then think about your Groom. The man you love so much that has now asked you to be his wife. I want you to think about your wedding planning process. Are you frustrated by his lack of participation in picking out the colors, desserts, themes, etc..etc..etc? Are you nagging him (yes I said nag because ladies we NAG!) and constantly saying "you never this"..and getting mad when you ask about a color combo and all you get is "idk..pick what you like!". Now Brides..I want you to sit down and close your eyes..find a mellow happy place in your mind and think about the groom your engaged too..is he the same groom that you fell in love with before he was your groom? Is he a give you money and have you go shopping with your girls kind of man..did he constantly surprise you during your relationship??? I say all this Brides, to say that just because your darling fiance has taken the big leap of commitment and asked the question you've been dying to hear..he is still the same man. Brides, I know you have been planning this day in your mind..but learn to listen when your groom speaks. He is not going to change his behavior just because the two of you are saying I Do...and why would you want him to because isn't the man who proposed, the man you fell in LOVE with!? So first and foremost I am so sorry that my short message..now very long letter has gotten so long. Second..learn and listen to your Groom's behavior because he is helping you. He is giving you what you want the only way he knows how. Cut him some slack and enjoy the moment with him. I promise you the moment he does the opposite of what he has always done..the things that you fell in love with..it will send you into a frenzy and you will wish you let him just be him! So again..listen and hear what your groom is saying. Enjoy the planning process and be happy..after all this day is about the love that the two of you have for each other!

4 Ways to Keep the LOVE Alive!

Happy #WeddingWednesday to you all!! Today's post is all about keeping the love alive while planning your wedding! Planning a wedding is a tedious process that can take a toll on any engaged couple. As you plan you want to assure that you are not at each others throat about florals, cake, colors, guest list etc. Instead you want to make sure you keep the love alive by spending quality time together outside of wedding planning!

4 Way to Keep the LOVE Alive!

1. Assign 1 day every week to go out..whether you go to breakfast, lunch or dinner...enjoy a meal together! Take an hour or two and discuss life not wedding plans.

2. Dress sexy..ladies keep your hair, nails & toes done..and fellas keep your hair cut and cologne on..Remember that the person you're about to marry is a person that you are also attracted to..so keep the spark alive! 

3. Go on a fun date! Mini Golf, Couple Spa, Weekend getaway to Disney...something that will make you laugh and grow as a couple and take your mind off all the wedding day planning. 

4. Say I LOVE YOU! Often times you get so caught up in life that you're not saying or showing how much you love that person. So leave a little note, send a text, make a quick call, etc. Tell your fiance you love them. I guarantee it will put a smile on their face! :-D

These 4 suggestions are things that are simple, yet make such a bug difference in a relationship. These above 4 tips although simple are things that we forget to do. In a relationship when so much is happening like planning a wedding..it is the simple and sweet moments that will help to keep the love alive and the planning a lot more easy going and fun!!

Do you have any activities that you do/did to Keep the LOVE alive while planning your wedding?? Please Share in the comments section!!

30 Day #Engagement Challenge!!!

Congratulations!!! He proposed and you screamed, cried, whispered, shouted, nodded.....YES!!! Engagements are such a joyous time! A time that should be cherished before diving into planning one of the greatest celebrations you will experience. Today's post is all about enjoying the moment or in this case the month! 

 Take the "30 Day Engagement Challenge!!!"

Take 30 days and enjoy being engaged. Planning a wedding is wonderful and memorable and prayerfully will only happen once since this is your one true love! However..there is dust behind all the glitter and sparkle of planning one of THEE best weddings that your family and friends will encounter!

Being Engaged means that you both are ready to take the next step in life. So for the next 30 days follow these simple steps that will allow you to slowly ease your way into planning an awesome, awesome planning experience.

Day 1 - Day 7

Tell the world! The first week is all about the excitement. The initial "Ahhhhh...I am engaged" by the female and the "Yea man I did it..lol" by the male". It is the big announcement that is made to any and all forms of social media, texts, phone calls, in-person visits and any other way you can think of announcing that your now one of the luckiest ladies in the world. This behavior is mainly (90%) done by solely female. The male version tends to happen in a huddle with the guys in the man cave over beer..some hot beats..silence..stares and joking about this is the only woman he will sleep with forever. LOL! Well that is how it is portrayed on movies anyway... So enjoy telling the world, but DO NOT PLAN A THING! Do not set a date! Do not call a vendor/cousin/sister/mother..etc and ask for anything!

♥♥♥  JUST RELAX & ENJOY THE MOMENT!!! ♥♥♥

Day 8 - Day 14

Let the fun begin! Clearly you both know each other becasue you have reached this level and are now engaged. Take the second week to enjoy each others company. Go out on an unusual date..some place you have never been. Do a challenge date..something that will make you have to rely on the other's help. 

Suggested Activities: Try A New Restaurant, Rock Climbing, Paintball..etc. Save the mushy dates for the end of the 30 days. Explore these activities just in case you will need to do them during the planning process when things start to get a little rough. That paintball practice will come in handy 8 months into wedding planning and your ready to eat your mate for dinner! It happens...but no matter what happens DO NOT PLAN A THING! Do not set a date! Do not call a vendor/cousin/sister/mother..etc and ask for anything! I'm serious just enjoy each other and your piece of mind!

♥♥♥ JUST RELAX & ENJOY THE MOMENT!!! ♥♥♥

Day 15 - Day 21

Get Romantic!! By this time the excitement is still there, but you have begun thinking about all the things you want for your big day! Take this time to be romantic. Go on a candlelit date whether on the town and at home. Great food, music and lighting will make any location romantic. You don't have to go far or spend a lot to enjoy! Check out one of my posts about how to have a 3 course romantic dinner for two for less than $30 bucks and it's in the comfort of your own home!!

Romantic Activities:

Leave little post-it notes for your mate to find!

Get dessert and read old poems and love letters that you wrote to each other!

Go dancing or Take a Cooking Class!

Do a half day brunch, lunch or dinner cruise and more!

Just enjoy and be romantic, but remember DO NOT PLAN A THING! Do not set a date! Do not call a vendor/cousin/sister/mother..etc and ask for anything! You don't need opinions right now.

♥♥♥ JUST RELAX & ENJOY THE MOMENT!!! ♥♥♥

Day 22 - Day 30

Prepare with Jokes..LOL! You are about to start planning a grand occasion. First things first..learn how to laugh! Let this last week be all about jokes, story telling and memories that you have together that make you laugh. Keep these in your memory bank for the planning road ahead. During this week tell each other a joke a day...go all out and send random text that you know will make the other person laugh. Humor is good for the soul and for planning a wedding! I know me and my love have tons of things that we laugh about...LOL I am laughing as I write this...he is so silly! Anyways..bring the kid out of you both. Smiling avoids wrinkles and laughing helps avoid the craziness of planning an awesome wedding!! This last week the same rules apply...DO NOT PLAN A THING! Do not set a date! Do not call a vendor/cousin/sister/mother..etc and ask for anything! I'm serious just enjoy each other and your piece of mind!

 ♥♥♥ JUST RELAX & ENJOY THE MOMENT!!! ♥♥♥

So now your 30 days are up and you are curious what to do...well you begin to prepare for planning a memorable journey together! As the new week starts I want you to begin to enter into planning mode. Think about your budget...wedding date..vision..desires..wants..needs! Take the next two weeks to have a serious talk with each other about what you want and how much dinero, bread, cash flow, MONEY..how ever you want to phrase it...you have to spend to get what you want!
