# T H E W E D D I N G M A G // R E A L W E D D I N G Your Advice To Engaged Couples For newly engaged couples, enjoy the engagement time, it goes so quickly! I know everyone says that but it is so true! Don't get too caught up in the wedding planning that you forget to enjoy each other! Something that was really important to me was that my fiance/husband, Ryan, be a part of all/most of the planning and decision making of our wedding. I didn't want him to show up and not know what it was going to be like. It is just as much my day as it is his, and wanted him to like what we were doing. He really enjoyed it and I think see it come full circle was a good experience for him. If you are having an outdoor wedding, don't stress over the weather. Always have a back up plan but don't stress over something you can't control. I didn't look at the weather at all, I told my husband, you tell me when I need to put plan B into effect, until then I am not stressing over it. The Invitations - I know these just end up in the trash, but they are your guests first "look" at your wedding day. Photographers -- spend the extra money to hire a good photographer. I look at our pictures weekly, and I am thankful everyday for our amazing photographer who captured every aspect of our day. Because of her, we can relive our wedding day through our photos!
