Serious Planning

Any major undertaking in life begins with the excitement
of the idea, proceeds through various levels of planning
(from general to very fine details), and culminates in the
fulfillment of a dream. You’ll do a lot of things in your life, professional
and personal, from graduation through retirement and from childhood
through parenthood and senior citizenship. They all follow the same
pattern. Dream, plan, and work to realize the dream.
Your wedding is no different from all those other major and minor
life achievements: the hard work is in the planning. If you have a
good plan, the execution is easier. In Part II, we explore the plans.
From figuring out a budget and organizing contracts and paperwork
through the shine on the flower girl’s shoe, the more organized you
are early in the plan, the better your overall result will be.
