Journey to Marriage: Lesson 4:

Married friends are your greatest resource!

Never underestimate the value of a married friend when you are preparing for your wedding! Seriously they are like a fountain of wisdom...and actually, it doesnt even need to be a friend.... even just ladies you meet who show an interest in your engagement, and ask questions about your wedding....if they are married, I can guarantee you they will not only LOVE to tell you all about their wedding, but they will also have so many helpful pointers...so do go out of your way to glean from the married peeps that are all around you... and definitely ask these questions:

• What are you really glad that you did for your wedding?
• What was your biggest stress, and why?
• What REALLY didnt work?
• If you could change the way you did things, what would you want to change?
• If you live in the same area, ask them what florists, hairdressers, venues etc they used, or steered clear of, find out what they thought of the different companies etc. 

Honestly, all of the stuff I have managed to pull together so far is due to the experience of other peoples wedding plans. The insight they can offer is priceless and will save you ALOT of time!!!
