Kate Giesing: My top tips are probably cliche but here they are.

1. Enjoy every moment of the engagement. It only happens once in your life and you want to remember the big planning process. It gives you lots of insight into how you and your partner will make decisions in the future. Take your time and make it a beneficial growing process.
2. Everyone will have their opinions, but it's your wedding day. Whatever makes you and your fiance happy, do that. Figure out what you both care most about and assign the rest to those who desire to be a big part of your day.
3. At the end of the day, it is the covenant that you are making between each other that matters the most.
