african weddings cc10 cc12What advice would you give other couples in the planning process?

My advice to couples planning a wedding is to be prayerful and trust in God. Get a good wedding planner if you can afford it. Make sure Your DJ, band and MC must be ready to turn up; so  choose wisely. Be prudent when necessary but remember it’s your day, so you can splurge a little. Get the things you need on time, you will be glad you need.
You will get a lot of unsolicited advice, don’t let it bother you; it’s your big day, the decisions should come from you even if you welcome suggestions.
Lastly, be ready to compromise and sacrifice and remember your parents are a big part of this; allow them to feel involved. Remember to enjoy your day and have fun, when it’s over you will find that you didn’t need to stress….
