Newlywed "To Do" List

Now that you've said "I do" there are a few things you have "to do" as a newlywed.

Enjoy being Mr & Mrs

Go on your honeymoon, spend time together, make love and enjoy your new beginning.

Clean & Store your Wedding Dress

Within 6 months get your dress dry cleaned and properly packaged for storing. If you don't plan to keep your dress, put it online for another Bride to use it for her happy day.

Check out sites like Bravo Bride, Yes Bride & Kijiji.

Change your status

And we don't mean just on Facebook! You'll need to change your last name and possibly your home address after you get married. Insurance, Licence, Health Card, Income Tax, etc.

For Ontario Brides, check out the Service Canada website for assistance.

Send your Thank You's

You've got 2 mths before you're considered inconsiderate. Sit down once a week and get through the pile of 'thank you's'. If you need more time, take it - but get those cards out no later than 6 mths after your wedding. You and your hubby will feel really good knowing that your guests are thanked promptly.

Pick your photos

You'll be given a whack load of photos to pick once your photographer has tweaked them. Enjoy this process no matter how stressful it may seem. Enjoy reminiscing about your wedding.

Celebrate your Anniversary

Congratulations!!!

Congrats Helen & Jason!

Helen & Jason tied the knot in a romantic ceremony at Webster's Falls on October 16th, 2010.

They contacted us back in February to secure our services for their rehearsal and ceremony. With the ceremony taking place outside, they wanted to make sure that someone was dedicated to coordinating the afternoon. From placing the chairs, setting up the shepard's hooks with flower baskets, coordinating the Officiant & Musicians, receiving the flower delivery and assisting the wedding party - we were on-site ensuring the location was ready for their "I do's".

Helen & Jason were the most laid-back couple I've had the pleasure to work with - it was such a joy to be  a part of their special day. Helping me out on Oct 16th was Amanda, she's looking to get involved further in Wedding Planning and I hope that assisting me brought her further motivation to stay on the path she's currently on. Her help was very much appreciated.

Like most weddings I coordinate, I shed a tear (or two) when the Bride is about to walk down the aisle - and Helen was no exception. As she walked along the pathway towards the giant willow tree arm in arm with her Dad I couldn't help but smile - but then the 2 of them linked up with her Mother who was waiting at the top of the aisle and that's when I teared up.

The weather was beautiful - they couldn't have planned it better for an outdoor ceremony! Their reception site, Dundas Valley Golf & Curling Club also looked fabulous as we got to see it before we completed our services for the day.

Thanks again to Helen & Jason for including us in your most special day - and once again, CONGRATS!
