I Am Engaged

Wedding planning has been a challenge because my fiance and I want opposite things. He wants a big church wedding and I want a small outdoor ceremony. He's so traditional and I march to the beat of my own drum. The only thing we can really agree on is the color scheme. I don't know how we're going to find a balance between what he wants and what I want.

That's good. I know, for a wedding everything has to be right. It is stressful. I read somewhere that the way to deal with it is NOT through compromise -- because that's the way for nobody to be satisfied with anything, like dishes you both hate.

The way is negotiation. If I get this my way, you can have the next thing we disagree about your way.

Do you have a date? How long have you been together?
