Hi everyone,
Thanks for tuning into FEATURED FRIDAY #31…love the energy that Friday brings, YES, YES, YES..finally it’s here. Today I decided to showcase some advice…from me, friends, family, the web and even a few Twitter peeps! Sit back, relax and just enjoy….soak it all in! Some are serious, others are fun..it was neat to hear the different advice from each person. HAPPY WEEKEND ALL!
“Really be there on the wedding day. from fri-sun on wedding weekend we really engaged with family friends and each other=<3”
“Agree with everything your wife-to-be says. The guys MAIN role in the planning is simply to make she sure doesn’t go crazy.” (haha yes..he is mine and knows me)
“My dad told me ‘try to outdo each other in kindness.’ I thought that was good advice. That way you are concentrating on the positive.” ~ tjmac66
“Look at your future husband or wife to the side of you, check them out…what you SEE is what you GET! No changing them…accept that now.”
“This is a very good small piece of advice. .. bring a mini version of your seating chart in your wedding day purse it would have come in handy on my day.”
“As far as marriage learn to compromise and fast.. just set what you won’t compromise ahead of time and talk before your married :)”
soo…when I asked her for advice, being that she is IN the planning process, I got this response:
“Get your contracts notarized by law!!!!”
“I guess what I have learned from all of this is that even though the whole wedding date disaster still hurts, because I really wanted 9/18, the most important thing is the real purpose of the day and nothing else should matter.”
“Always remember to go back to basics, why u fell in love in the first place…don’t let anything else get in the way”
“This is not only for newlyweds. My advice is that every night, before you turn off the lights, mention to each other one thing you are grateful for about that day. It doesn’t have to be about the other person, it could be anything related to your own personal life, work, friends or whatever. It doesn’t even have to be a big thing. Anything goes. The basic idea is to a) finish off that day in a good mood and b) get to know your partner better in terms of what matters to each other.”
“This is the best piece of advice I heard: Marriage means having to compromise but compromise doesn’t always mean meeting half way. Sometimes it’s letting your spouse get his or her way.”
1) NEVER go to bed angry
* at least at each other
* jobs are another story
2) You can NEVER compliment each other enough over the years
3) If you EVER think the grass might be greener on the other side - it’s time to water YOUR OWN lawn
4) Remember how you felt when you first realized you were in love with your husband/wife & now realize how lucky you are that they too, are dedicating the rest of their life to be with you
5) Fellas - face it, you won’t ever get this lucky again - so don’t screw it up!
“Ensure sure you stick to your budget. Starting off in debt and stress is not smart. No matter what.”
“Talk about everything, even the “silly stuff”. Don’t let annoyances build up. Say I love you daily.”
Thank you for everyone who gave advice for today’s post. So much fun to hear advice from different perspectives on planning, marriage and life after the I DO!
I will end today’s post with my own personal marriage advice from 3 years of experience..
