Planning a wedding is stressful. With so many people and opinions to consider, it can get really overwhelming.
Last week I spoke with Kate from The Course for Brides on her Real Talk with Brides live on Instagram. It was so much fun to speak to her about my own wedding experience and what pressures exist around wedding planning for other couples.
When you’re stressed out, I want you to remember there are 5 things you need to have to get married, the rest is a choice.
This isn’t something you’ll often see a wedding planner say, but it’s just the truth.
Here are the 5 essential elements every wedding requires!
1. Yourselves
3. Licensed Officiant
4. 2 Witnesses (over the age of 18)
5. A pen
But wait? Is it really this simple? Honestly, yes.
This simplicity doesn’t make the details unimportant. It’s just a reminder about why you’re doing this.
The purpose of your wedding is to marry the person that you wish to spend your life or at least the foreseeable future with. Marriage is the purpose, everything else is celebration! Everything from invitations to the bridesmaids shoe colour is the celebration.
So take a moment, and breathe!
