Congrats,best wishes to you!Hope you can have a long and loving marriage.

Congratulations!! Welcome to WW too. :o) you should start with your overall budget, as that will affect everything else. Next, decide on the style of wedding you want- then start searching for venues. It's pretty overwhelming at first, but it starts falling into place- promise!

Congrats to the two brides this site has great ideas and so just dig in

Congrats!! :-) your first step will be deciding on a budget! Happy planning!

Congratulations! Yes - budget first; style (formal, garden, eclectic, vintage, etc); then venue....THEN you can choose everything else . Best wishes to you and your partner!

Welcome to WW!

As others have pointed out, you need a budget before you can make decisions about anything else. You probably won't be able to book anything until some time in 2012, as most vendors don't want to book more than a year out, but you can definitely start searching and pricing once you have the budget.

As far as what you do with your wedding, that's just a matter of individual taste. You can be as traditional or as non-traditional as you want. There have been MANY different "kinds" of wedding planned on these boards, so there should always be someone who can at least give an informed opinion if you have questions about something.

Congrats to the two of you!

Congratulations! We have had same sex couples planning their weddings here too! Its a great site for ideas, how to save money, and support. If you have any questions, please be sure to ask away!

Congrats! You are in the rigt place for both ideas AND support. Happy PLanning!

Congratulations! There are a few ladies on here that have had same sex weddings. I'm sure they can be of help to you as well! But as everyone else has stated, the budget tool, and checklist are great places to start.

Welcome!!!

Congratulations and welcome to WW (Wedding Wire), just a note, you will find tons of abbreviations on this site (FMIL for Future Mother in Law, BIL for brother in law, you'll get used to them).

I would definitely start with the budget, and look through the WW check list to see potential expenses (I did not go with everything on the checklist, but it's a great guide).

You have come to the right place for expert advice!

Congrats Heidy! You will find plenty of resources here in the chat room and on the site. Best wishes!

We don't care who you marry as long as you are happy! Welcome aboard!
