Re: Your Advice Needed
My DH & I got married in Sept of 2008. Here's my advice:
Do YOUR thing.
1) Engagement length - don't let people guilt you into making it shorter or longer.
2) Wedding date - Don't let anyone talk you out of the day you want just because they can't come. No matter what day you pick, someone won't be able to make it!
3) Guest list - Invite who YOU want to share in the special day. The guest list shouldn't become who the parents want to have come.
4) Dress - Pick the dress YOU love! You're the one wearing it!
Other advice
1) DON'T become a bridezilla. No one likes them, you'll only make people mad at you & make the memories of your day (& the days leading to it) bad. There's a way to get your wants/desires across without being a bridezilla.
2) Enjoy your wedding day. Don't get caught up in time schedules. Things will happen (& some thing might be forgotten). It's ok. Just have fun ^_^
3) DON'T wear a watch. You'll only be tempted to check it (plus it doesn't usually look nice with the gown, lol!)
