So You Think You are in Love and Want to get Married!!

So you think you are in love and have found your significant other. But how do you really know for sure. This is a question that has been asked time and time again. To truly know the answer you must first understand what love is. Love is an action and needs to be demonstrated on a daily basis. Just simply saying the words “I love you” is just that if there is no action behind it. In order to receive love, you must first know how to love yourself. A person can not fulfill you if you are not fulfilled and happy with yourself.

To love someone is to love “unconditionally”. You accept the person for who they are and what they stand for. The same is to be said for the significant other. Love is not one-sided. The rules apply for both partners. True love does not keep score nor does it judge. Love is forgiving, kind and supportive. When one feels down in the dumps the other is right there to pick you up.

Being “in love” is a lifetime commitment of showing your significant other on a daily basis. Both partners need to nurture and feed the feelings you had when you first met. One of the key ingredients to a happy and successful relationship with your partner is to remember why you fell “in love” in the first place.

The following verse taken from the Bible is commonly used in wedding ceremonies:
Corinthians 13:1-8a and 13
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Now that you have an understanding of what “Love” is, you can now accept your significant others’ proposal and start planning your wedding. How exciting!!

Keep in mind that you will want to give yourself plenty of time for planning. A good time frame would be at least 1-2 years. You will want to book the big ticket items first as they are quickly booked. Examples of big ticket items are as follows:

Next you will want to get an idea of what you plan to choose for your wedding theme and or wedding colors. You will want to coordinate this into your invitations, wedding flowers and decorations. You will want to meet with a:

Printer
