Dear Valued Customer,

I’m not sure about you, but for me, it’s insane that it’s already July 1, 2012! We have now officially passed the year’s half-way mark and will be preparing for Christmas in 5 months! But, before we get ahead of ourselves and start planning what we’re going to prepare for Christmas dinner, let’s get back to July and the remaining months of summer.

As you know, summer is the most popular time for weddings. And, as most weddings occur during the summer months, it also means most proposals occur during these months as the majority of brides-to-be give themselves a year to plan their wedding. One of the most talked-about weddings of this summer was Matthew McConaughey's wedding to Camila Alves on June 9, 2012. One of the things I found interesting about the couple’s wedding was how many of their guests remarked about how much the wedding represented the couple.



I think this is one thing that a lot of couples lose track of when planning their weddings. With all of the decisions to be made regarding the wedding, it’s easy to lose track of who you and your fiancé are and what your wishes for your wedding truly are. It appears that McConaughey and Alves didn’t let this happen as they planned their wedding. Shoot, they had their wedding at their home in Austin, Texas where their guests camped out in the air-conditioned tents (also dubbed “glamping”) provided for them on the couple’s ranch for a few days! So, how can you and your fiancé make sure your wedding truly represents who you two are as a couple?

1.    Talk about your relationship. As you begin the wedding planning, take the time to sit down with each other (just you two) and discuss the things that make your relationship work. For example, how did you meet? Do you both share a common interest like horseback riding, hiking, bowling, etc.? When you can pinpoint the things that you both love about each other and the relationship you share, then you will have something to hone in on as you plan your wedding and the wedding’s theme.

2.    Don’t put too much emphasis on outside opinions. Another pitfall that many couples fall into as they plan a wedding is listening to everyone’s opinion about what they think the couple should do for their big day. While it’s okay to listen to these opinions, don’t place a lot of emphasis on them. For example, when it’s time to go shopping for your wedding dress, buy the one that you fall in love with, not the one that your mother, mother-in-law or the bridesmaids like the best. The same is true when you and your husband-to-be pick out the styles of formalwear for the bridesmaids and groomsmen, make arrangements for your wedding and groom’s cakes as well as all other aspects of the wedding.

3.    Don’t be afraid to make the ceremony intimate. One of the things I loved reading about the McConaughey-Alves wedding was how the priest asked them to share with each other what they loved about the other and Matthew leaned over and whispered his answer into Camila’s ear. The guests couldn’t hear what he was saying, but some said that that moment was the most intimate/emotional moment of the whole wedding. If you and your future spouse want to do something like this at your wedding, then do it! Don’t be afraid of what others will think.
