Bride and Groom Priority List

Come on spill it, who got engaged this holiday season? Many couples get engaged during the holiday season, and why not, its the perfect time of year to do so! At BHL we have shared who to share the news with, andwhat the first steps are once you are engaged. So let’s get into some more details of the planning process. What we like to do is make a list of each wedding element and have the bride and groom rank the importance of each one, and then see where they can compromise. As much as it really is all about the bride, you want to give the groom the chance to pitch in and be part of the process. Here is what you do: Make a list of items of the wedding and then rank each item by order of importance. The bride and groom will then share with each other their ranking for each item, and then if there are some differences in ranking, see if there are some items that can be compromised. Here is a list of wedding items which we have put together.
