Of untracked snow this Christmas morn... Family and loved ones nearby... Oh, and romantic engagement stories.
The holiday season, for whatever reason, is perhaps the most prolific engagement season of the year. And why not. There is something magical about this time of year as we come together to celebrate.
If you are the expectant bride what is there to do? He has already purchased the ring or he hasn't at this point, so what is there to do since you don't want to put any money down on plans until everything is official?
The answer? Dream. Prioritize. A good wedding is put together not by collecting all the traditional elements -that just leads to too much money spent on a wedding that is just like every other wedding in the bride's community - but by considering how to customize the wedding to fit their unique setting, values, and personality.
One idea that bears consideration: For most people their loved ones are scattered over a wide swath of the world. Consider scheduling the wedding in such a way that you can have a second, more intimate gathering after the reception or a day or two before the wedding. My brother-in-law did this. He rented a local coffee shop for both sides of the family to get together the day before the wedding for a special family Christmas celebration (He was married just before Christmas). It was a nice touch. Most likely he will never have both sides of the family together again and as such it made the entire event memorable.
