The Engagement

Engaged to be Married: A Bride’s Handbook

What a special time in your life. Congratulations! You are about to embark on an adventure that will feel like a rollercoaster and thrill ride with exciting moments every day. We are so excited you are letting us be a part of it. What was your first thought after the “yes”? What next? Or just realizing that it is really happening? Enjoy that feeling. You deserve it!

Have you told anyone? After you do, you may find they immediately start giving you advice. You are lucky to have people who care about you and want to help. This can be a great tool, if you know how to use it.

Listen and thank them for their help. Let your loved ones (mother, mother-in-law, sister, friend, etc.) be a part of this as much as you can- this is a great way to set up relationships for the future. But do not let yourself get overwhelmed. You get to make the final decisions, so have fun with it! See the advice from a bride section for how to fit all this help in to your perfect day.

Here you will find all the information you need to get started on your new life together, and wisdom and resources to make it what you want and dream. If you have to do all the planning by yourself, it’s okay, we can take you through it a step at a time.
