 Recently married here- I don’t have any wishes for any change, ours came out perfect. The secret was to listen to our gut, communicate, and be flexible overall. 

Biggest headaches- food, venue, guests, costs.

We went through a lot of iterations of what we wanted. Everyone is going to have different wants, and so communication with your fiance and prioritizing your collective wants will be important.

As we went through the process, we had to compromise based on various factors,  our highest priority demanded compromise on other priorities. So that lead us down the path, and we wound up going where we tried to minimize compromising on other priorities in light of that. 

So communicate your goals and priorities, walk the path in light of those priorities, and you’ll find your perfect wedding at the end of that pathway. :-) 
 Excellent advice. Thank you! 
 No problem! It’s your special day I hope you enjoy it!


I’ll tell you one more thing though, holy shit it can be stressful. There are unlimited choices and options. It’s so fucking overwhelming. I don’t want to make assumptions about your perfect day, but for me- less was more. We didn’t need much of anything in the end, some family, a nice location, some decent clothes, some nice words to say, a good restaurant to enjoy some food after, and a nice place to spend the night together. 

Less was perfect and more was stressful. 
 That sounds absolutely lovely. Less is more is really sound advice.
