I am a huge believer in “DOING U” on your wedding day!

Weddings are about you and your fiance…

They are not about…

…what others want

… other people’s ideas

… pleasing family or friends

And so I created this video to help you do you on your wedding day!

Hi there. Carissa Kruse here. Hey, I want to just talk about something that doesn’t get talked about a lot as far as wedding planning goes. And a lot of times you think there’s traditional wedding. There’s a certain way you have to do things. And what if I don’t do it a certain way.

Throw all of that out the window, just throw it out the window. I want you to do you, whatever that means for you and your fiance, just do you. So, you’re going to get lots of input from other people, friends, family, maybe people online that you don’t even know. If you’re on Facebook groups, that kind of thing. And take everything in with a grain of salt and you can analyze it and think about it, but ultimately come back to what is most important to you and your fiance? What do you guys want to do? What do you envision that day to look like?

Yeah, I will say that sitting down and prioritizing ahead of time before you start making plans is really important. Do you want a big ceremony? Do you want a small ceremony? Do you want all your family, friends there? Maybe you just want immediate family. Just figuring out what is most important to you guys can really help firm up that concept of doing you.

And then once you understand that, you can then start to go down and nail down some of those other items from your day. So, you can then figure out your theme and your guest list and all that. So prioritizing is the number one thing that I tell couples to do once they’ve gotten engaged, is just really sit down and see what is most important to you guys.

Another thing I say is as far as photos and things like that go, you can incorporate in animals, if you have pets. We’ve done a Harry Potter, Star Wars, swords. Just anything that makes it meaningful to you guys is what’s important because that’s really what you’re going to go back and enjoy and look at and go, “Hey, you know what? This was us. We truly enjoyed our day and making it about the two of us,” and the love that you guys have.

So that’s my tip for today. And just to just do you. So make sure that you incorporate that into your planning and if you’ve got any questions, I am here for you, I’m here to help. So I will talk to you guys next time. Bye.
