First, breath! Then remember, you have added so many interesting and surprising twists that represent the two of you as a couple and everyone will enjoy them.

Neither of us had really thought about what we’d wanted (other than hosting a fab party in Italy that our friends and family would really enjoy.) We set out by promising ourselves that we were going to remain low stress and that we wouldn’t argue at all about any of the details. (um, yeah…I know.) E told me that he didn’t really want to be involved in the planning, and that I should only consult him on the big things. (um, yeah, I know!!) I learned that what he really meant was ‘I’m going to pretend like I’m detached, but the reality is that I want to be involved in every-single-tiny-detail-decision.’ Gotta love him. As planning continued, E and I realized that we’re very alike in some ways and very *very* different in others when it comes to party planning – and that resulted in some pretty enlightening discussions.
