I'm getting married in 3 weeks... Any advice?

First and foremost, you must remember that, especially for a wedding and especially if you want to create a lasting memory for everyone involved, presentation is everything. When people come to me for advice on their weddings, I tell them to remember 3 things...

1. Fight any temptation to be trendy. While there are no guarantees when it comes to the longevity of marriages, take a "until death do us part" frame of mind. What is cool and trendy today is going to look bizarre and pitiful 25 years from now. Do you really want friends, family, and others to come across wedding photos of your wedding laughing their asses off over what you did on your wedding day? Don't just think of the one big day. Think of a lifetime. Stay classy and tasteful.

2. Instead of trying to impress your family and friends, honour them with a warm and inviting reception. That's all you have to accomplish: warm and inviting.

3. Match your wedding form and format to you (and by you, I mean you AND your partner). Your guests will feel like you are letting them in on your celebration. Would you redecorate your entire home to host a dinner party, or would you invite your guests to experience who you are and see how you (actually) live. Remember to include your partner as part of your planning. You both are forming a new and combined identity.

Best wishes and save a dance for me.

At that point it is best to just use suggestions from others weddings you find online. Look at wedding photos. Pinterest used to be a good place for this kind of thing. People use it to find inspiration. But I’m sure doing searches through Instagram and other options work just as well.

Even doing a Google search of “movies or tv shows with weddings” will allow you to watch things and be inspired.

Continue to look until you see something you like. And don’t feel like you have to do it on your own. Offer your mother in law, sisters in laws, cousins, mother, aunts, and female friends to help give you advice on the suggestions you pick.

Congratulations on your engagement and future wedding.

My daughter went with simplicity... The ceremony was up on the mountain at an overlook, I did all the cooking, they had a back yard reception with wildflowers in mason jars on the tables, the firepit, fairy lights, people brought their own bottle... it was rather lovely honestly.

Congatulations! I hope you will be as happy as my hubby and I have been over 30 yrs!

I suppose you have to pick a theme and pick colours and set a budget for your decorations. And then you could ask ChatGPT for help. I wish I could help but I’m lousy at decorating

it's natural to be worried/concerned over the arrangements of the wedding. The most important thing is that you are both happy after the wedding celebrations.Good luck.😘

I'm also not good at decorating, but I wish you both a wonderful life together 🥂

Forget about the stress, the wedding, the guests, the food, and just elope. You'll return happier, more relaxed, and you'll still be able to collect all the wedding gifts...LOL

Your wedding is about you and your partner not the venue or decorations. There shouldn’t be stress about what others will think. A perfect wedding is two people standing together making a commitment to each other. Screw what the outside looks like and just marry the love of your life.

🤷....LOL 🤣😄

It should be a reflection of what both of you like as it's about two independent people joining their energies

The only thing you should be in charge of is YOU... Your family and friends should be taking the load off you... The wedding is stressful enough

Where is the wedding going to be? Church? Home? Banquet Hall? Look on Pinterest they have all sorts of good ideas on a budget

Never stop loving up to your username, even in marriage.

Hire yourself a wedding planner to take care of all those details.
