Your Wedding is “YOUR” Wedding!

Remember, your wedding is “your” wedding, not your mothers or your future mother-in-law’s wedding. Use tact and plenty of it. You may need to remind your relatives that they had their wedding the way they wanted it and now it’s your turn.

If you must, give in a little – on both sides of the family – however if it’s something that you absolutely do not want to be a part of the wedding, take a time-out to think about how you can tactfully say no.

Possibly the only exception might be if there are differences in religion, background or culture. It is sometimes wise to honor the faith of your guests as well. AND. . . it is your wedding. You get to say how and what is said.

Sidebar: Be sure that your minister is willing to make your ceremony fit what YOU want, not what he thinks it should be.

Celebrate each other’s uniqueness and emphasize the things you have in common.

Your comments are always welcome!
