Announcing your Engagement

Six Months before Wedding - A wedding is a joint venture between you and your fiancé as well as between your families.  A good start would be for the two you to sit down and discuss the type and style of wedding that both of you would like.  This is the perfect time to practice the "oneness" of mind and heart.  Determine what things you must have, and what things the two of you are willing to compromise with.  Discuss whether it will be formal or informal, the time of day and the type of reception (list choices). Discuss where the of wedding and the reception will be held. Discuss the wedding budget.  Having some ideas about the above will give you both a clearer picture when you discuss the events with other, like your parents.
