Decide on the location with your fiance. Bringing others into it will cause drama.
Once location is picked start talking, get those Save the Dates out!
Use the wedding reviews on this site to help you pick vendors. Remember you can always ask more questions, if the information you need is not in the reviews.
Do your best to enjoy the process, most of us have practically lost our minds at times.
If you do it your way, it will turn out perfect. Remember this is for two people not for everyone else that thinks they have a say. Tell them to go plan their own weddings.
