Congratulations! It's your wedding day. Here are ten essential steps that will make the preparation easy and fun.

Have a budget for your wedding. Don't start your marriage with a ton of debt. You can have a wedding to remember with even a simple wedding. This is only one day but a load of money will go a long way toward a home, or items for your home. Unless you are very wealthy use good judgement. You can get lots of ideas from the internet or the library.

1. Make a list for before, during and after the wedding.
2. Will you have a shower, reception, honeymoon
3. Make a budget for each event and stay within it
4. Keep your ideas but let other help with preparations
5. There are professional wedding planners or you can do it all yourself.
6. Use the internet(see below) and books for planning ideas
