2/ Get the facts straight
Be prepared for ALL the questions that you are going to get asked. Mainly “have you set a date?” – talk things over with your partner and your families and pick a month. Then when other ask you can give them a vague idea without committing to a date. Never choose your date before you book your venue – things might not be as easy as you anticipate – especially in the summertime.
Other questions which might be worth chatting about include “Where are you going to live”, “What colours / flowers / venue you are going for?” , Who will be part of the wedding?”. Again our advice is to be vague and cheerful and don’t confirm anything before you have definitely booked it.

Give yourself time to enjoy your engagement, whether it is a few weeks or a few months decide together not to take on any planning decisions. That time can be spent relaxing and dreaming of your favourite day. This period also gives you time to start saving money – check if you bank or building society can open a savings account especially for the wedding and start putting a little bit aside each week. Knowing that you have starting saving early will help you make budget decisions later on.
So it may seem like common sense but sometimes important events can fly past in a whirlwind. Bear these simple tips and mind and hopefully things will be smooth sailing for your engagement and wedding in Ballymena.
