When The Bride Lady speaks, people listen! Here are just a few of her ideas and some advice for those involved in weddings. For more information about wedding planning books by Mary Riner Churchman click here.

TO THE NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLE: CONGRATULATIONS --- You are about to embark on one of the most memorable experiences of your life. Now – you are going to be planning your wedding day --- a one time event that will linger in your memories for the rest of you life. Therefore, make your plans one day at a time, one week at a time and one month at a time. Be KIND to each other during these stressful days ahead. In the scheme of things, the wedding IS but ONE DAY in the rest of your lives. Soon, very soon, you will be MR. & MRS.

FOR BRIDES: The three most important things that you can do during these preplanning wedding days ahead are 1) always keep your budget in mind and 2) add all of the wedding expenses up at least once a week (3) stay organized to the best of your ability. Even if everything is in a canvas bag – at least, you know where everything is. And of course you need a wedding planner that keeps you organized and sane!

FOR GROOMS: Be patient both with yourself and your bride-to-be. Just bring your bride-to-be a single rose from time to time. This lets her know that you really care and understand what she is going through even though much of this is beyond you. Try picking up a Wedding Planner and reading it. I know you will be shocked to learn how much your bride-to-be has to do!!

FOR PARENTS: Look Out!! You are entering the arena with your children, on one of the most exciting times of your life. Let me warn you --- at times YOU are going to feel unwanted. However, nothing could be further from the truth. THEY do need you --- they just don’t know it yet!! So lay-low but be ready to pitch-in. I can guarantee you that when the going gets rough -- the first words you are going to hear are "M-o-m-m-y".

FOR BRIDESMAIDS: Be a friend, be cooperative and be there when the bride needs you. If you have a criticism, be gentle, tactful, and understanding.

AND EVERYONE ELSE: -- BE QUIET !! All of you Grandmothers, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Friends and Neighbors, offer your support and love, but otherwise "mum-m-m-m-m-s" the word.
