Getting married can be very stressful. There are so many things to consider and pieces of the event to coordinate. Certainly, you have to consider the obvious items like the dress, the flowers, the band and the bridesmaids outfits. You also need to think about the less obvious items such as the order for walking down the aisle, the religious significance to attach to your marriage ceremony, etc.
One easy way to deal with all of these issues and to keep your sanity is with a bridal magazine. From the time that you are engaged (or perhaps before!) you can get a subscription from National Magazine Exchange, or another source, to all sorts of bridal magazines. These magazines help you to outline all of the important items, they offer checklists, they provide suggestions and so much more.
And, once you've gotten married, and no longer need those bridal magazines, you can switch your subscription. National Magazine Exchange has a unique service that allows you to switch the magazines you receive, while maintaining your basic subscription. Your mother would probably love to see you switching to a pregnancy magazine or a parenting one! Perhaps you'd prefer something about recipe planning and trip enjoyment.
Magazines are great for helping you to plan the big event - and then to enjoy the rest of your life together!
