In high school - in spanish class

We started it off hiking at Kinnickinnic State Park, then ate at Olive Garden, then walked around our favorite place - Stillwater,MN

Our favorite memory together would of had to be going on a 3 mile hike and having no map directions, and making it a 12 mile hike.

The way we were able to communicate on every level, and go in-depth and ask the "hard" questions right away. We both had the same intentions, the same mindset, and the same feelings right away.

I would have to say managing the budget effectively, navigating family expectations and ensuring that everyone feels included and valued in the planning process, coordinating various vendors, schedules, and logistical details can be complex and time-consuming. Finally, the emotional stress and pressure to meet societal or cultural expectations can also contribute to the overall challenges of this wedding planning.

My advice to fellow couples navigating this exciting yet often challenging process is rooted in communication and collaboration. Begin by openly discussing your individual visions and expectations, then find common ground to shape a shared vision for your special day. Establish a realistic budget early on, prioritize your must-haves, and be willing to adapt as needed. Leverage the support of family, friends, or a wedding planner to ease the load and ensure a well-organized event. Remember that flexibility is key, as unexpected surprises may arise. Most importantly, relish the journey and focus on the love that brought you to this moment. The wedding is just the beginning; keep the joy alive by nurturing the bond that will last a lifetime.
