hey guys it's Aaron here and I want to
0:02
share some important wedding planning
0:04
dates with you so these are just dates
0:07
that you want to keep in mind when
0:08
planning your wedding you want to keep a
0:10
nice U consistent flow for the dates of
0:14
planning your wedding and the first
0:16
thing you want to do is schedule
0:18
counseling so this is one of the most
0:20
important things and I'm a little biased
0:21
because I am a wedding efficient and I'm
0:24
ordained minister so um it is extremely
0:27
important um that you do go forward with
0:30
counseling first it's the first thing
0:32
that you should do in your wedding
0:33
planning counseling just a few reasons
0:36
why counseling is important counseling
0:38
helps you to decide whether it is a good
0:41
idea to get married you don't want to
0:43
make any assumptions you want to go in
0:45
with um taking the proper steps and with
0:48
a professional with someone who um has
0:50
been through the process before you know
0:52
all of those things but you want to just
0:54
make sure that first that you are both
0:58
prepared to move forward with wedding
1:01
planning um or really first of all the
1:04
decision to be married so just start
1:06
with the basics you know you may know
1:08
already know U but it doesn't hurt to
1:11
just talk to someone and to just have a
1:14
process and know that you are ready to
1:17
take the next step to get married so the
1:19
next thing after going through
1:21
counseling and setting up counseling
1:23
with a a person who will walk you
1:26
through the process is to get your
1:27
budget in place so uh some might say
1:30
that the budget is is more important um
1:33
but these are probably two of the most
1:35
important things they really do go hand
1:37
inand you know you want to make sure
1:39
that you're ready to take the step and
1:41
you also want to have a budget in place
1:43
for every step of the wedding so one of
1:46
the common mistakes that I've seen is
1:48
it's not enough to have the budget for
1:51
your wedding you know for the wedding
1:52
day the wedding is is comprised of many
1:56
wedding events you know you'll have your
1:58
shower your dress shopping your and and
2:02
everything that is goes around those
2:03
events as well travel with your wedding
2:06
party so you will have several wedding
2:08
events I will say you probably average
2:10
somewhere between five and 10 wedding
2:13
events uh because yes your honeymoon is
2:15
a wedding event your some call it
2:18
bachelorette party uh we call it
2:20
bridesmaid's day U guy time all of those
2:23
things are wedding events your wedding
2:26
shower and your wedding reception are
2:30
separate wedding events that you will
2:32
want to keep in mind so have a budget
2:35
that includes everything everything
2:37
everything from getting your wedding
2:39
license to or marriage license to um
2:43
everything to getting your passports if
2:46
you're going on a honeymoon that's what
2:48
my wife and I did so make sure that your
2:50
wedding budget is as detailed as
2:53
possible that way there will be as fewer
2:55
and fewer um surprises when it's time
2:59
for your wedding so after you're done
3:01
with your budget um you want to also
3:04
book your Venue so this goes along with
3:07
the budget as well because you that is
3:09
certainly part of the budget but book
3:11
your Venue as far out as you can at
3:13
least a year if you can so book your
3:16
Venue out a year ahead of time if
3:18
possible I know it's not always possible
3:20
but it's definitely recommended and have
3:24
a backup venue in place as well so this
3:27
is something to add to your list um so
3:30
the other thing when now that you've
3:31
done these core things you want to be
3:34
sure to specifically plan out your
3:37
wedding all of your wedding events that
3:39
we just talked about so make sure that
3:40
every part of the separate wedding
3:42
events is well taken care of so um then
3:47
you want to start inviting your wedding
3:49
party and inviting your guests and going
3:52
down the list of of planning so
3:55
certainly want to hire or wedding um
3:58
your vendors of course um certainly want
4:00
to hire a wedding planner but everyone
4:03
um every uh vendor that you need um and
4:06
wedding planners also of course high
4:09
priority and do that as soon as you can
4:11
as well now one thing I'll say is your
4:13
wedding planner won't do everything for
4:16
you your wedding planner is a very very
4:19
key part of your process but they won't
4:21
do everything they won't for example I
4:23
would say they don't sign your thank you
4:25
cards you know they don't do every
4:27
single thing they do a lot but remember
4:29
remember that they are being hired for a
4:32
specific purpose so your wedding planner
4:34
is it's important to make sure that you
4:37
have one and realize remember where
4:39
their responsibilities end so um one
4:43
thing I will just also say is the wedry
4:46
app is a great way to keep track of your
4:48
wedding events it will I've been
4:50
officiating weddings for over 12 years
4:53
and I know the pain points and the
4:55
things that take the most time so the
4:57
wedding wedry app will help help you to
5:00
arrange your wedding party much quicker
5:03
so you will set up your wedding events
5:05
you'll set up the time and dates of your
5:08
wedding events and then everyone in your
5:10
wedding party will be on the same page
5:12
in the app and be able to see when all
5:14
the wedding events are coming so hope
