We set the date immediately, picked a color scheme and bought a wedding binder within 24 hours of being engaged. We have 683 days left.

My dress, David's Bridal was having their $99 sale right around the time he purposed. If you can get your dress for $99 instead of the $800 it would have cost, do it.

I'm a Corporate Events Coordinator and have also interned at many wedding venues so I knew the first thing I wanted to discuss was our guest count, which then leads you to figuring out the budget. Our first big wedding decision was our venue!

My biggest tip is to first figure out your budget and then list what is most important to the two of you. For us it was our venue, photographer, and full bar (lol) 😜.
