Are you wondering whether now is the right time to get married? There are some signs you can look out for to figure out whether this is truly the right time for you to either propose, or agree to a proposal! Read on to find out whether this is something you really want to do…

 

You Feel Like You’ve Found ‘The One’

Many people don’t believe in the concept of ‘the one’ – and it’s true that there are probably multiple people out there you could have a very happy relationship with. However, with this person, you’re not looking for something better, and you don’t feel like somebody better for you is out there. That’s when you know you’ve found a person you want to marry. Your ‘one’.

You’re Secure In Your Relationship

You should feel secure in your relationship. You don’t get jealous, because you trust them completely. If you do feel little pangs of jealousy, you know they are down to your own insecurities and not to do with your partner. If you definitely feel secure now and aren’t looking at marriage to help you feel that way, it could be time to look at engagement rings from 77diamonds.com.

 

You Have Fun Together

Although it’s important to have a ‘grown up’ relationship with your partner, you should still play and have fun together! Novelty is important, as is doing things you both enjoy. There’s no reason you should both get into a boring routine.

 

You Want The Forever, Not Just The Wedding

Some people just want a wedding. They want to get dressed up, have a party, and have a day that’s all about them – they don’t truly want the forever that comes along with it. Consider whether you’re prepared to spend forever with your partner, because that’s what a wedding should really be about.

 

You Still Feel Like An Individual

You should still feel like an individual in your relationship. You should have your own hobbies and things you enjoy. Your partner doesn’t have to like everything that you like, but they should definitely support your hobbies and encourage you to be an individual, as well as being one themselves.

 

You Live Together And You Don’t Want To Kill Each Other (Much)

It’s normal to have disagreements when you live together, but you shouldn’t want to kill each other all the time. If you can live together in harmony for the most part, this is a good sign.

 

You Communicate with One Another Openly

Communication is key in any relationship. Open communication ensures that nobody is pointing the finger, and that you’re both seeing things from one another’s viewpoint as well as getting your own point across. You should feel comfortable discussing difficult things with your partner. You should be able to avoid arguments, and come to a compromise or agreement that suits you both.

 

You’ve Had The Money Talk  

Talking about money can be tough for certain couples, but talking about it in a relationship is a must. Money is something that can cause big problems in relationships, so you need to make sure you’re both on the same page.

 

It’s a start of a brand new year and the time when people are setting out goals for 2018, whether that’s doing a course, starting a new job, moving home or even getting married.

If you’re getting married in 2018 I imagine plans are well underway and if you’re getting married after this year you may just be getting started with it all. I’ve been thinking a lot recently about the amount of thought and planning that goes into having your perfect big day. From themed weddings, simple registry office affairs with a small reception to huge traditional no expense spared church weddings with a huge party with a tonne of guests… Whatever kind of wedding is perfect for you will require some kind of planning.

Wedding planners can take some of the stress away by taking over some or all of the planning and organising responsibilities and can assure a smooth process so there is less for you and your friends and family to have to do but in my opinion the planning seems like it would be the half the fun of having a wedding.

I love to plan parties and events, I always have done so the idea of planning a wedding sounds amazing to me, I called imagine me and my friends shopping for little bits and bobs to make it more “me”, from rose gold accents to monogrammed napkins, I would love to go out and shop around for these small things. I also think doing a lot of the planning and going out and buying is a really nice way to get friends and family members involved in the whole process rather than just having them turn up on the day to an off the shelf wedding. I know my sisters would love to take part in the whole planning process and I know we would have so much fun doing that together.

Online you can find an abundance of checklists and how to’s about the planning process and things you need to think about so making a little wedding plan book would be quite easy. The part I would look forward to the most as I said before would be shopping for the wedding accessories that will make the wedding Lucia specific so everyone can take one look at it and know that it’s something that screams me.

I want to think about all the things that I love, colours, flowers etc that I really like, rather than things that are popular right now so that when I look back in years to come I will always like what I see and not a passing phase that was plastered all over Pinterest at the time. I personally love classic and simple looking wedding as they really do stand the test of time. Me being who I am I think the hardest thing for me to decide on will be the dress and makeup and trying to create a look that I will be happy with and again will be forever beautiful.

Wedding memories and photographs last forever so I think creating the perfect memory with the people you love will make any day special, and will definitely be worth the stresses of choosing the right invitations.

All this wedding talk is making me at least want to attend a wedding this year… So to all my friends reading this.. Get a move on!
