So he proposed and you said yes…..Now What?

Your first reaction that I have to get started planning my Omaha Wedding right NOW! So much to do and what if my church is booked for the day I want, and what if my reception site is busy, and what if it rains, and what if I can’t loose five pounds to get into that wonderful dress, and what if……

Take a step back, take a deep breath, and unless you plan on getting married this month, take a day or two to think about what is really important to you.

Sometimes the choice of where you hold your Omaha Wedding Ceremony is easy, but more often than not, it isn’t. The obvious choice for most brides is the house of worship you grew up in and your family still attends. But is this the right choice?

First off, not to overstate the obvious, but you are getting married and there are two of you involved. What about your soon to be husband’s house of worship? Is it the same as yours? Are you two the same religion? Do you attend a different house of worship together than you did growing up?

You are now engaged and it is time to pick a date for your Omaha Wedding. First off, if you have already picked your location, you may have narrowed down your choice of date simply by the location’s availability. If you have your heart set on getting married at Josyln Castle in June and they only have one Saturday available, well….you are pretty much set.

Also, popular dates fill fast. June especially! Holidays fill fast as does any week the Huskers do not play in the fall. 

For many Omaha brides, the person performing their marriage is an obvious choice. If you selected a house of worship, often times, you or they will select one of their clergy to perform your ceremony. This is very natural and is the case in most weddings held in a house of worship. Many times, the bride selected the house of worship because she wanted that clergy member to perform the ceremony.

Ok, so that is the way it happens most of the time, but what if you have your heart set on your church but really want someone different to perform your marriage.
