Think planning your wedding
is just about one day? Think again! The way you handle planning your
big day can be a major precursor to what your married life will be like.
It's similar to a startup company — the first thing you put together
are the Standard Operating Procedures. Those procedures become "how we
get things done around here." Here are the SOPs you will unconsciously
develop while engaged, and put into effect for years to come as husband
and wife.
Decisions don't get made until they are unanimous.
Talk decisions out until you find a point of agreement or determine
something really matters to one of you and not as much to the other. So
at your wedding, perhaps your fiancé is set on hiring a DJ you're not
thrilled about, but you let him have his way since he's the music lover.
Compromise doesn't magically disappear after you say "I do" — in fact
you'll have to do it more often.
You'll always be a united front.
We all know that everyone has an opinion on what to do and how best to
do it when you are planning a wedding. Of course your friends and family
are trying to help while chiming in about who should make the guest
list, but ultimately, it only matters what you and your
soon-to-be-husband want. The same goes for once your Mr. and Mrs.:
Whether it's an invitation to a party or pressure from your mom to have
kids, you'll have to talk it over privately, and then share the decision
with your loved ones.
Decide what matters most then make all decisions based on that.
Most couples decide early on that they want their wedding to be a
reflection of themselves and to have their personalities woven in to all
the aspects of the event. Once you're settled into married life this
becomes more important. You'll have to value the time you spend together
and give each other space to pursue your own passions. Maybe you love
writing, while your husband is a movie nerd — make decisions on how you
spend evenings and weekends based on the things you love the most.
