Marriage is an exciting prospect for a couple in love, but it can also seem overwhelming and intimidating. Read the following steps to prepare yourself for propose, ceremony, and marriage.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Proposal and Planning

1. 1 Plan your offer ahead of time. Your (hopefully) spouse-to-be should be surprised, delighted, and a little caught off guard. This is a romantic moment that many people are looking forward to, so plan ahead to get it right. Think about the place, time and words you are going to say. Try to come up with something that your loved one likes - her favorite restaurant, events and / or music - but for some reason she cannot do it often. Use this to create the setting for a memorable marriage proposal.
   • A short, simple speech contains much more power than a long, artsy speech. If you want to impress, plan to speak directly and from your heart.
2. 2 Buy a wedding ring. Since you are proposing, you must have a pre-purchased engagement ring. Think about what your loved one likes and dislikes. If you have to choose a piece of jewelry, then avoid stones and flowers.
   • You can safely ask your soul mate about the wedding ring, but this must be done before you are going to buy it, so that she has time to forget about it by the time of the proposal.
   • Don't feel like you need to spend a huge fortune on an engagement ring. More importantly, what this ring symbolizes. Plus, the wedding itself will make you forget about it all.
3. 3 Ask your loved one to marry you. Start your day together with a well-hidden ring. Be the best and keep her in the happiest and brightest mood. When the time comes, get down on one knee in front of your lover, pull out the ring and give your speech. If you are lucky, you will hear a loud "yes!"
   • Propose in a public place. The presence of witnesses will prove to your beloved that you are ready to marry her, no matter who knows about it and what people think about it. People around you will also love the show.
4. 4 Start planning your wedding. Everything went well and you are already engaged, so don't waste any time and start planning your ceremony and honeymoon. Even the smallest civil ceremony takes time and space. Most people will want a more formal ceremony than a religious or civil one, which requires a lot of planning and a lot of money. If you want people to bring you wedding gifts, be sure to make a wish list.
   • Plan a wedding with your sweetheart. You can also involve parents and legal guardians. They will most likely be happy to help plan and cover the cost of the wedding.

Method 2 of 3: Simple ceremony

1. 1 Pick a time and place. As a rule, they do not marry immediately after the engagement is announced. Enjoy a little being engaged. With any luck, this will be the only time in your life that you will be engaged. When you decide on a date, find a judge, notary, or other legally authorized person to marry you. Call and make an appointment so he or she will look forward to the day.
2. 2 Prepare yourself. Arrive at the ceremony site ahead of time and bring at least one witness with you. You can dress according to your preference, no one except you two and your witnesses will see you.
3. 3 Marriage. Listen to the official and exchange vows. Kiss your spouse when it's over! In most cases, you will receive your marriage certificate the same day. A certificate gives you legal proof of your marriage. It does not need to be updated, it can be one.

Method 3 of 3: Lavish ceremony

1. 1 Choose a location. Most religious people will want to have a church wedding, but just because you and your partner chose a civil ceremony, that doesn't mean you didn't have options. In addition to churches and halls that can be rented, you can also choose from city parks, family estates and even cruise ships. People get married even while skydiving! Discuss expenses and personal values ​​with your loved one and choose a location that works for both of you.
2. 2 Choose a topic. For people who adhere to the old church, the details of the ceremony will more or less follow tradition. And for people with free views, the choice is wider. You should be mindful of more than just your preferences. This is a serious and life-changing event, plan it to reflect your deepest values ​​and beliefs. This doesn't mean you can't pick a fun topic, just remember the significance of the day.
   • An ancient culture wedding can be fun, especially if both parties have the same roots, or they have completely different roots, but want to compromise for the wedding ceremony. Don't be intimidated by theatricality, especially if your wedding is in keeping with the traditions of your ancestors. For example, harpists in silk dresses and torques are great for a Celtic-Irish wedding.
   • A wedding with shared interests and style can be luxurious and enjoyable for everyone, as something very interesting can be done wisely and based on standard traditions.One thing to remember about price: A Gothic wedding and a video game wedding may seem drastically different, but both cost more than a regular ceremony for the price.
3. 3 Get help. This is not necessarily a professional wedding planner, but it can help if you can afford it. Otherwise, ask friends and family for help before the wedding with a list of places, setting up tables, and help with hanging garlands and streamers. For more challenging assignments, offer to pay them a little.
   • Trust your assistants. If you have any question or problem, they will be there. Instead of taking a steam bath, entrust them with some of your business.
4. 4 Prepare everything as early as possible. You have to get everything ready for your wedding day, but that doesn't mean you can't get everything done ahead of schedule. In some cases, it is possible to prepare for the wedding a day or several days in advance. But if you can afford it, then start preparing in advance - preparing for a wedding is a grueling job.
5. 5 Go with the flow. As soon as the wedding ceremony begins, you and your wife-to-be will be in the spotlight, not only for everyone invited, but also for bystanders (if the wedding is outdoors). At this time, you should not find fault or scold someone, and you should also not be upset if something is not perfect. Instead, become a shining example to everyone around you. Ignore the problems and complications that arise. Keep your composure both during the ceremony and during registration. Your parents and friends will be impressed and will remember this event with affection.
