#weddingplanning
Firstly, congratulations! Secondly, I got married 3 years ago and spent a lot of time and energy focusing on decorations and table settings, but on the day of I barely noticed them so I would say dont spend too much time stressing about them. My other piece of advice is to hire at least one photographer and also a videographer. 💛
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
I want to be like you and her so that I will be engaged
Congratulations! I cried at your proposal. My wedding was in May of this year. It was very small because my husband to be was in the end stage of lung cancer, my husband passed in August, it was a beautiful ceremony. My best friend made my bouquet, she does floral arrangements and wedding bouquets. I told her what I wanted and she knew me so well that it was perfect. She included a beautiful crystal cross hanging from the ribbon. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get your dress because of alterations take a while.
I am so sorry for your loss ! But happy you were blessed with a beautiful wedding day. God bless you and keep you always !! Hugs from a Kansas Grandma
I am so sorry for your bereavement. I really admire your positive attitude about it. Praise God you were able to have a beautiful ceremony though. God bless you, love and prayers from London
My sincere condolences to you, I pray GOD’S continuous strength and peace. GOD Bless You🙏🏾❤️I admire your strength!
Sending you lots of prayers, love and hugs 🤗 💛 as well as my condolences. 🙏🏼
Congratulations and many blessings. May I give a little advice? Remember that the wedding is one day but the marriage is for a lifetime. I had a huge wedding. However, if I had to go back in time…I would have a small intimate wedding. And you are right…Gospel filled wedding/loving and together. When I marry people this is what I tell them when I counsel them before the wedding. There were two weddings that were amazing that I officiated and they were lovely, simple and Jesus centered.
I second this! Smaller intimate weddings not full of frills was perfect for us! I wouldn't have really changed anything because in the end I'm married to my soulmate! ♥️ Prayers for you and your future marriage
THANK YOU for this amazing advice!!!!
100% agree. It’s so exciting planning your wedding!! Don’t forget though to really truly focus on the marriage, not just the wedding. But I don’t think you’re the type of person to not do that anyway but it’s good to be reminded 😊
I absolutely agree with this advice. We've been married 17 years and I honestly wish it was more simple. It ended up being focused on those around us and not about our union and Christ was missing in the mix.
It's for this reason we are renewing our vows :)
It's all very exciting and it's easy to get lost in the frills and glamour of wedding planning. If you can keep focused your going to have an amazing and beautiful wedding ❤️
Sorry to hear your family and Johnny is sick. Prayers for all. Ashley congratulations on your engagement.!!!
Also, I’m loving the Christ centered wedding idea!
My top tip, don't spend too much. The wedding is just one day, your money is better used to save for life after the wedding.
God bless sister and congrats! I recently made my 1st year married on the 23rd. Our wedding was the most intimate and humblest wedding I could ever imagine. We were blessed to barely have paid a thing for our wedding (we were struggling financially and the Lord really had his hands on us through this time). It was done at our friend's father's church who didn't charge us. Though it barely cost us a penny because it was just our parents, siblings, and some of my husband's musician friends. We also didn't have a big party. We headed back to my house and ordered some food and played live music for the night. My dress was thrifted and the only expensive thing was the flowers! It was definitely a humbling time and I feel that the Lord really showed me what a Christ centered wedding actually is. We can get lost in the big things of planning and get so focused on a dream wedding that the world has outlined for us and I just want to say trust in the Lord through the entire process. Don't worry about impressing others or trying to make them happy because what matters is your union with Johnny and the intimacy of that day.
wow. thank you SO MUCH. Thank you thank you thank you! I needed to hear this and it touched my heart deeply❤
The fact that you did a pray for your husband video and now you're getting married!!!!
Girl, this is so encouraging!!!!
Love you, girl!
And Jesus please bless this marriage and this Family you're putting together!!
Protect and bless Ashley and her Fiance and their Family❤
GIRL IS ENGAGED 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🤣🤣🤣🤣 and a gospel centered wedding tooo!!!!
Also, it is possible! I did my whole wedding for under 10k. It’s possible, we had the best 70 person boho wedding!
Congrats lady! I got married a little over a year ago. I recommend you take it one piece at a time. Anytime you start to feel overwhelmed take a step back. As a anxious lady it was very important to take small steps cause I had panic attacks during the planning. Also the more details=more complicated as a general rule. The main focus should be on what you guys really want to do and don’t let other people try to butt into what your wedding should be like. ❤️
thank you so much. this is AMAZING advice!
Congratulations yes do a walk through the engagement. The ring is beautiful I'm happy for y'all
Girl best wedding advice KISS (keep it simple stupid) small, simple weddings are the best! they're meaningful to you and enjoyable without spending a ton on entertaining others.
We spent £3000 on our wedding all in. Small church and reception. Was the best wedding (even my mother in law said). Advice keep it how you both want the wedding and on the day especially at wedding take a step back and watch everyone. I got given this advice and glad i did. Seeing everyone enjoying the Joy of the day made me cry happy tears. Seeing all those you love bonding and enjoying is just such joy.
Enjoy the planning part. Sending love in christ. X from England
Myself and my husband shared the planning and utilised craft friends to save money.
Congratulations!!!!!
My top tips:
We kept it simple. We "eloped" and had just our parents and my doggie (now our dog and would have had sibilings if we had them, but we're only children), it was outside in a gazebo in the town square (strangers were able to watch too) and then we went out to eat at our favorite restaurant. Then you don't have to pay for a bunch of people and can have a party later.
We also got married in white shirts and jeans and beanies that said "Mr. And Mrs." 🤗😘❤️ Good luck!!! Tomorrow is our 3 year anniversary!! No debt because of it!
My husband also said "I do" too early lol. It was cute ❤️
I would love more details on the engagement! Personally, I would really enjoy tons of little details about the entire wedding planning process. And more in-depth Bible studies would be awesome! I love Coffee and Bible Time's devotionals and Bible studies :) once again, congratulations!!! This is such a precious time of your life to be in. It is amazing to see how God has answered your prayers!
Congratulations!
1. Keep it simple.
2. Let others handle the details, such as taking charge of the flow of the day.
3. Keep things moving along at a good pace. Some weddings drag on forever, to the point I really wanted to go home, but it was only half-way over because there were huge time gaps between events.
FYI- If your markers are water-based, you can scribble them on a smooth surface and use them for watercolor.
My tip is "DO NOT" spend a lot of money on a wedding, the money can go into a "New Home" for you. Keep it simple, which to me is so much more better then having so many people there. (in my opinion) And, Congratulation and GOD bless you and your family. Happy New Year
Wow .. serving God really pays a lot.. Ashley dedicated herself to God and her she is...God bless you so much
Congratulations 🥺❣️
My wedding tip: make sure your guests feel welcome. They don't need to be impressed, but making sure you have organized plans and a comfortable venue is so important.
I used to work weddings, and I've seen so many brides say "oh that doesn't matter" um, people are traveling and taking out of their time to celebrate with you ... Make them feel special too.
I used the song, How Beautiful, in the wedding ceremony. (...”How beautiful the radiant bride who waits for her groom with his light in her eyes...how beautiful is the body of Christ...and as He laid down His life, we offer this sacrifice, that we might live just as He died, willing to pay the price; willing to sacrifice...”)
You should tell us how you two met! 🤍 Congrats Ash!!
I got married in November 2020, we had 8 people there. I almost wish we just went to the courthouse and then had a reception, instead of a ceremony. I don’t regret it at all. Especially because I’m the first one to wed in my moms family. We had a super simple wedding.
Here are the top expenses we opted for:
1. Photography
2. Pastor we loved and trust
3. A wedding dress and suit we loved
4. Bouquet
Everything else doesn’t matter haha
Hi Ashley!!! So happy for you two!!!! Congratulations💗🥰
Congratulations! So happy for you both!
A simple intimate wedding allows you to focus more on the cost of your dream honeymoon location. I regret having a big wedding because we couldn't afford a real honeymoon & still haven't taken one & we married 28 years ago!
Congratulations!!!!!!! I am so happy for you! I think it is so amazing that you found a Man of God and get to spend the rest of your life with him!
Hi Ash! I'm so happy for you! I have a question for you: can you tell you know each other very well? I mean, you've been together for 7 or 8 months and you live far away from John, so how can you know each other so well to get married? Marriage is forever (hopefully), so you should know very well the person you have by your side. I'm not judging, I just want to understand.
Thank you :)
So happy for you guys! I have 2 tips: 1. Stop and enjoy the wedding day, its YOUR special day so enjoy being in the moment 2. Spend your money on the Photographer, you'll have these photos and memories for the rest of your lives (and a third that piggybacks off that is to have a picture of his first look seeing you come down the isle) CONGRATS! can't wait to follow on this new journey!!! 👰💖
I was doing notes for a friend of mine to improve their photography and this was one of the shots I insisted on adding.
To add on the photographer she could come up with a basic idea of shots she wants especially for the groom coz he can get forgotten.
CONGRATULATIONS Ashley!!! ❤️❤️
One should date for five years before even considering such a sacrament.
@@Maxfr8 Why do you think so?
My piece of advice...get a GREAT photographer with wedding photography experience! That is the one thing you have left after the day for years to come!!
A little tip and it may just be me, but if you find the dress and it happens to be the first one you try on and you love love love it, don't let anyone talk you out of getting it! Don't get me wrong I love my dress I ended up wearing in my wedding but I still have the picture of the first dress i tried on. It was simply but beautiful and I wanted it. However I allowed my friends and mom to talk be out of it.... don't be me😊
So happy for you Ashley, looking back how the Lord guide you, through the years , you are so blessed every season! God Bless You guys! ❤️🔥
This is amazing, congrats! 1) The Wedding is only the beginning, not the end destination 2) it’s YOUR guys’ day, and you can’t please everyone, no matter how much you may want to.
So excited for you all!! God bless you and guide you in ALL your decisions!
Thank you SO MUCH!
Wow! I have a copy of "A practical wedding planner" and that book is a gem! If you want something beautiful and budgeting that's the perfect guide. 👌🏾
Congratulations!!!🎉
Can’t wait for this wedding, the focus on Gods word sounds like a truly amazing theme to bring the whole wedding together with all your loved once.
Congratulations once more!!!!🥰🤗
Congratulations!! My top tip is really to try not to sweat the small stuff. I know it’s a cliche but it’s only one day and something will always go wrong. I mean out of all of your perfectly laid plans something won’t be “right”. It’s not about those things though. It’s all about becoming one with the love of your life. So relax and try to enjoy all of the moments including the planning but don’t take it too seriously (the planning I mean - the marriage should be taken very seriously 😉). ♥️
Again congratulations 🎊 I got engaged back in 2012 Christmas eve to someone I met in church and we have been happily married now for over 8 years. I wish you many of God's blessings for your future marriage .
I got married in March 2021. Don’t stress over the tiny details! I did, and didn’t even notice them the day of. The day will fly by so fast (I hardly remember my wedding day), so try to be present! If you can afford it, hire a videographer. For us, simple was perfect. We didn’t have parents pitching in, and we were able to have a beautiful and elegant, but simple wedding for around $5,000! Congratulations!!
Would love to hear the proposal story!
I totally agree that if Christ is you #1 focus for your wedding, that is most important. I also agree keeping things simple is the best. I have been to hundreds of weddings because of my job and so much money is spent on things that don’t reallllly matter. You both seem to have a good head on your shoulders. I personally picked things that I knew I could do myself and supplemented decor that way. Also join a garage sale/wedding decor Facebook page for your town or area. So many people sell items that can easily be reused for a huge discount like lights, table pieces, and decorations. I just celebrated my 3rd anniversary with my husband on 12/29 and I loved our simple intimate wedding. ❤️ Congratulations to you and Johnny!
I'm a wedding photographer and a major tip that I would have for most couples is to do your wedding portraits on another day if you have the funds. You're a lot less stressed, you can take your time and they come out more intimate imo!
So so happy for you Ashley!!
I just got married almost 3 months ago now and I can say my #1 tip for wedding planning is ENJOY IT. Enjoy this season in your life!! Yes, this will be a stressful season with planning. & coming from experience, I know how it is with stressing over the details so much that you forget to enjoy this special season you only get to have once in your life!
This is probably the same tip everyone else has given but it’s so true!! Enjoy your wedding day with the love of your life and don’t even worry about anything else going on around you. It’s going to be beautiful and ah so excited to see this journey unfold for you guys!
Love you girl! 🤍🤍
Congratulations! 💞 I love how the Lord brought you both together. So, amazing. I live and enjoy your content on Bible studying. God Bless
so happy for you!! 💘✨
My hubby and I got engaged and then agreed to wait one year to marry.. just to take time and continue to get to know each other. We are coming up on 20 yrs now.
We had a simple church wedding on a budget but it was perfect. Take lots of pictures and videos. There are so many people (my dad, brother..ect) that was at our wedding that is no longer here.
Congrats again 👏 💓 so excited for you
Congrats Ashley !! I can’t wait to see y’all pursue The Lord together !! Seek him before others in your marriage . I feel like I see so many couples get married & focus too much on their marriage rather then serving Christ !!
Im so happy for you!!! Congrats!!! Also it's so therapeutic to watch you clean!
I so hope this means that Johnny is going to become a bigger part of the channel! His personality is so funny! He seems like a great man, Ash! Congrats again
Congratulations!! 😊💕 may God bless you both! 🙌🏼🙏
Congratulations! I definitely recommend a Bible as your guest book. Have guest sign next to their favorite Bible verse. I also heard a Christ Centered Wedding was a great book!
Happy for your engagement. Honestly, when you introduced him to your channel as your boyfriend, I had a feeling this would become more than just a boyfriend, and look now you are engaged!
Aww congratulations I loved the proposal vlog! 💛💛💛🕊
I could talk forever about planning for a wedding! But the best advice I heard and heeded to was prepare for the marriage not only for the wedding! And we did get a lot out of Christian pre-marital counseling just about expectations, fears, family history, future plans, dating, etc!
A lot of people say communication is #1 in marriage, and while that’s important, my husband and I feel love is truly #1. “But the greatest of these is love.” That dedication, sacrificial giving, intentional choice to be loyal and work together as a unified team, 1 Cor 13:7 was our marriage verse!
We did a video about tips that kept our wedding under $5k. Our fav part was showing the love of Christ to those guests. But most of all, we really loved our honeymoon just us and at an all inclusive where we didn’t have to worry about anything and got to simply relax and rest together, it was just the best of all!
I really appreciate girl defined’s advice for the wedding night and all that jazz lol!
If I remember right, I think they have like retrospect advice about it (like looking back I’ve learned this, and I find that most helpful, from people who already experienced it and are further in their marriage journey now and look back and give their thoughts)!
I know you love Psalm 119, and it’s my fav ch in the Bible! Dr. Jeff Adams has a beautiful fantastic commentary just for it and I know you’d love it too!
Love you so much, you precious gem!!! Love you guys to the moon and back. God bless you dear. He is so beautiful in you! Congrats dear one!!! 😘🤗🎊🎉🌻🌄💛🔆
I remember when you first did a video with Johnny and I was like...God! these 2 would make a perfect Godly couple. Please make it happen for them. Now here we are!!!!
Thrifting the supplies is helpful and it also looks real pretty, or like a potluck reception where everyone or specific people you want can bring a homemade dish and guests can bring their favorite plate to use! Saves money and leaves practically nothing for you to have to clean plus its just beautiful to see all the colors!
Stay true to what you two want. Family and friends will work around whatever they need to. Hire a planner if you can even for simple 😉. It helps to have that one person take control so that you have a chance to breath. Hire a great photographer. After the wedding take your time getting to the reception. Enjoy the moment. Congratulations 🎊
I'll be praying that everyone will be well soon! I love everything you got for Christmas...such nice presents. I hope your ring will come back to you soon too! Congratulations again!
Thank you Kathleen!! ❤❤❤❤
So happy to watch the journey xx💛💛💛 God Bless 💛
Congratulations! So happy for you and your whole family! So exciting!
Congratulations and many blessings. 2 tips from me with my wedding in Feb 2022 take time just to enjoy your engagement. It's a special time enjoy it with the 2 of you. It's something I wish I did more. Plan a wedding that screams the both of you. Settle on a budget. Wedding costs can be huge.
Also, on your wedding day don't forget to stop and take it all in. It will fly by.
Congrats!!!! So happy for you and Johnny! You can always get a rubber ring on Amazon for the meantime. I use the rubber rings for working out. My husband and I got married this year in June. During the COVID mess. I used the knot as well. Enjoy!!!! And God Blessss!!!
WE WANT ALL THE DEETS GIRL! Don’t leave out ANYTHING!!!!! 😘
Prayers for your Dad, brother and Johnny 🙏
That mug was prophetic! 😀 Also it is very important to research where your essential oils are coming from. A Christian company that I like is Eden's Gardens. They also give a portion of their profit to charities, including YWAM. Which I was very excited about, since I was in YWAM many years ago. A win win!
My granddaughter and her family live in a suburb of Chicago. My daughter is there now. I love your vlogs. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding
For me and my husband, marriage counselling is very important! I did it with my family church pastor and it's immensely helpful to us as we step into creating a godly marriage. I think that is a must! Congrats!
Hi Ashley, congratulations! I recently got married earlier this year. I wanted to share some of the money saving tips that helped when I had my wedding. Doing fake flowers was one money saver for me. Although I am such a flower child, I could not reason paying $800 and up for real flowers. I actually did solo wood flowers which you hand dye yourself. You can purchase these online and some websites even sell kits. Total I spend about $300 on the flowers. Also I did cupcakes for our guests and a small cake for the hubs and I, which we purchased from sam's club. The cake wasn't necessarily a huge priority and still tasted amazing. Other than that I would suggest booking venders asap once u have a location and date set. Also Hobby lobby was a winner when I was shopping for decorations. 😊. I hope you enjoy your wedding planning.
Congratulations!!!! 🥳🥳🥳Piece of advice from a newly wed. Decide during the planning process that whatever the wedding like is meant to be like, it will be. So don't stress, it will be exactly how its meant to be
Yes, please tell us the engagement story!! 🥰😁
We had twelve people at our wedding and we hiked out to the beach where we had our first date exactly one year after meeting and it was amazing!! Make sure that it's special to you two and don't worry so much about all the overwhelming details - all that matters is the covenant you're making before God. The life you get to live after is so much more important! That being said, we didn't take a honeymoon and I would encourage you to do that! It doesn't have to be anything expensive or extravagant but you definitely need time just the two of you enjoying one another before real life sets in. God bless you both
Awe..congratulations
Also some advice: When you get older, fingers often get slightly larger. Your ring may need adjustments again!
top tip: as you walk down the isle have your pastor tell the guest to put all their phone away so the pictures come out with nothing in the background/you can just focus on your hubby & not 100 phones in your face ✨
Congratulations, I'm so happy for you Ashley❤️🙏
Congratulations ! My top tip (besides prayer and transparent communication of what you both want and don’t want) is to make google spreadsheets for everything! I got married last April and they helped so much! A spreadsheet for lists of people to send announcements to (which i would highlight the box a color to show it was completed), finances/expenses, to do list, menu list/ideas, who’s doing what task, etc! God bless! 🥰🙏🏽
Congratulations, advice, small and quaint with close family and friends, Jesus at the forefront of it all. Be blessed.
Praying for Johnny and your dad! Speedy recovery and mild symptoms we ask in Christ Jesus name.
I pray the beautiful ring comes quicker than expected. Ashley it is beautiful!!!! Yaaaaaay so happy for you two!!! Glorious!!! Enjoy every second!!!!
Thank you for sharing,the engagement was so nice it brings tears, your dad hugging you and looking at the ring and your mom💖💖💖💖😭🤗 u r bringing glory to God!! Luv y'all In Chridt💖🌹🌹🌹🌹
Luv y'all in CHRIST!
I would love to hear every exciting second! How did he get you there all together? Did he ask your dad first??? or is that ancient?
Making your wedding part of ministry to glorify God so beautiful!!! please keep us posted on how Johnny and your dad are coming along. have a blessed time planning!💖💖😊😊👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌😂😂
CONGRATULATIONS GIRL!!! I also got engaged 4 days ago.. this is a beautiful season wow.
So happy for you & Johnny!💖 I'm excited to see your creativity in planning your wedding 💒. It's going to be simple but so beautiful!💖💖
Wowwww! Johnny, I applaud your taste! I knew it! When I watched a video months ago about you guys discussing German theology or some craziness! 😂 two unicorns found eachother! I smiled so hard watching the proposal video! 💜
My wedding advice is be excited about the marriage not the day.
God has kept my family & I through this round of Covid. I know He will also keep y’all! Stay encouraged. I love y’all dearly. Blessings and SO happy for you and Johnny!!! ♥️🙏🏽
You are going to make a beautiful bride, a beautiful wife because you are a beautiful woman of God. Congratulations on your engagement🎉🎉
Congratulations!! I just got engaged too! I am so excited for you and can't wait to follow you on this adventure!
Congratulations Ashley!!❤
OHHH MY LANTA!!!! I’ve been watching you ladies forever & praying with you for a Godly man! Your engagement video made me bawl with joy! So beautiful!! The song was awesome & you’re reactions to all of it was humble & sweet!
🙌🏻🥳🥰 A million congratulations to you both!
Please remember that God is with you ALWAYS, even with the planning, take it all one step at a time! Slow & steady with Him, as a team! And pray pray pray! God will finalize all the details in His timing! ❤️
Also, you can find really awesome wedding decor at thrift stores & dollar tree!! If y’all put them together yourself, plus get married in a church - it will save you TONS of money! Hubby & I only spent around $200, which included the pastor payment.
Congratulations on your engagement!!
A few funny wedding secrets from one girl to another 😁
A bouquet weighs so much more than you would think & my arms were SO sore from carrying it all day 🤣🤣 have a bridesmaid hold it in moments you do not need it 🤣
And, your face will hurt from smiling so much 🥰 but it's the best kinda pain lol!!!
My wedding was the best day of my life and I'm so excited that you will also get to experience that!!
i am pretty new to your channel, but I love this style of video! Its like vlog mixed with sit down and talk. It really feels like were hanging out! congrats on the engagement and good luck with wedding planning!
Ashley, I'm SO happy for you. The proposal video made me cry!! I love your channel, and I am so pleased to see God blessing you and answering your prayers. You and Taylor have blessed me so much throughout the years. Keep preaching! I praise God for this engagement, congratulations!!
Huge congratulations! So happy for you both. The best advice I received before my wedding day was to spend as much time as possible with my husband on the day. Which might sound kind of obvious - it’s your wedding day, of course you’ll be together! But it’s easy to accidentally end up separated when speaking to guests, even at a small wedding. I kept this in mind on my wedding day and it meant my husband and I have a wealth of shared memories to draw from, as we consciously made an effort to stick together throughout.
As for the wedding planning, know that the collective joy in the room is going to be what you remember and cherish! If plans go a little pear shaped, or if small details begin to cause you anxiety while planning, trust that everyone is there to celebrate you as a couple and they honestly won’t notice minor details like table decor. The outpouring of love from your family and friends is what will make it a wonderful, memorable, cherished day. It really is an incredible feeling, seeing the smiles on your loved ones faces and knowing they want nothing but the best for you both as you begin married life together. Oh gosh, reflecting on it is making me emotional! Sending you and Johnny so much love! 🤍
Hope your mom dad Johnny and your brother gets well.
So happy for you Ashley! Praying your family and Johnny get well soon as well. God bless!
I would say do whatever you can yourself. I did my hair, makeup, made my bouquets/beutenires. It was absolutely gorgeous and our whole wedding was done for 2k. It was amazing and the main thing was that we had Christ at the center and it was very clear of what marriage symbolizes. It was a small wedding. I think we has 62 people and it was immediate family and friends. It was simple and gorgeous! If I could show you pictures I so would!
Congratulations! So exciting!! I got married earlier in the year and the best advice I can give is to make sure to prioritize your dating relationship while in the engagement season. It’s really easy to be wrapped up in wedding planning anytime you spend time with your fiancé, especially if you have a long distance relationship (talking from experience). Just make sure to have date nights or date days without discussing the wedding and focus on spending quality time with one another. 🙂
Congrats!! I got married almost a year and a half ago, and it was beautiful! My biggest tip would be to figure out what is important to you and don’t let the things you don’t care about stress you out or take up too much time.
Also, my husband and I took communion and prayed together at the end of the ceremony, which was one of the most beautiful and meaningful parts. Best of luck to you on your wedding planning journey!
I remember saying on a video I can’t wait til you do a video saying I’m engaged!!! Im so happy for you congratulations!! May God bless you guys union!
Congratulations!! Such a happy time in your lives! I had a Christmas wedding, so definitely use holidays or natural elements in your wedding🎉
Don't stress about the wedding, you'll always look back on it and remember the good times!
Many many congratulations - I would echo what others have said, keep it simple, remember it's yours and Johnny's day and definately keep it Christ centred and a pre-marriage course would be helpful
My top tip (married 9 years) is to pick a few decisions that matter a lot to you about the wedding and don’t stress too much about the rest. There will be a TON of decisions and not all of them will make or break the wedding. It’s ultimately about the Union to your future husband so you want the process and day to be fun and memorable.
So pick a few things that matter and you want a certain way and the rest just go with the flow because not everything will be perfect. I look back and I loved everything about my wedding because it had my family and my church.
So happy for you and can’t wait to see more wedding videos!
Congratulation!! to a beautiful couple God bless you.
