Things i learnt while planning our wedding



There is loads of advice that is offered to couples when planning for the wedding. Many of the advice really do go a long way in helping couples as they plan for the wedding to culminate into a memorable day. 

Here are some things that worked for me, the planning list essentials can be really long from planning for the marriage, so I have picked a few that went a long way in especially making the D-DAY a success.  

Pray: pray over everything, from safe travel for your relatives, for all to keep time including you, your family, you in-laws, relatives, service providers and even the church minister. Pray for green grass so that the pictures can have a natural and beautiful background. Get a prayer group or partner to also intercede on your behalf while planning the wedding, it’s a huge affair!

Get plenty of rest: it’s true many of us tend to run around the last week last week which end up making the bride and groom look tired and fatigued during the wedding while not to mentioning ruining the wedding pictures as the natural smile is crowded with fatigue looks. Rest, rest, rest as the day is normally overloaded with activities and you would want to enjoy every moment and detail of it as well as enjoy your guests as well.

Expectations: tell your parents and family what you expect from them on that day. From roles that they will take during the wedding, to looking good, to keeping the speech sweet and short. Find a nice way of telling them to avoid family disappointments on the wedding day.  

Smile: prepare to smile and smile and smile some more for the cameras without getting tired, pose in funny and weird ways, do funny things while you comply with photographers to create pleasant memories of the day and also through in a few suggestion of what you like.  

Be graceful: be graceful in your walk, actions, how you eat you meals, in how you interact with your guests, in how you dance, all eyes are keenly watching every move that you make!  

Appreciate and encourage those making special performance – did you see how our president Uhuru Kenyatta was dancing, smiling and singing along to the choirs and all those who were making special presentations at the 12 Dec Mashujaa day celebrations? Do the same.
