Chrissy Weems Offers Tips for Planning a Military Wedding

PHILADELPHIA, PA, December 19, 2012 (Press-News.org) There is no reason couples who are planning to walk down the aisle should put their love on hold during active duty military service. A Huffington Post feature offers tips to help soon-to-be military brides - and their grooms - plan their dream weddings. Chrissy Weems, a wedding coordinator who assists couples on a volunteer basis, agrees with the suggestions.

The first tip offered up in the article is to leave the wedding details in good hands. A wedding planner is recommended. Allowing a professional to handle the details keeps the planning process on track while freeing up couples to focus on the more important mission at hand.

Recognizing not every future bride and groom are in a position to hire a professional, volunteer wedding planner Chrissy Weems offers up the following tip. She states: "Planning a wedding while on military deployment can be stressful and downright daunting. But it does not have to be! Consider enlisting the help of family and friends. Distribute responsibilities among them based on their skill sets. Believe it or not, handing over these important duties to your loved ones may just be a welcome distraction until you return safely home."

To stay involved, the article suggests extended planning sessions are the way to go. During their leaves, couples can visit multiple vendors over the course of a few days. The experience may be intense, but if planned in advance and done correctly, it can yield very positive results. In some cases, vendors might even be willing to come to a meeting place established by the couple. This saves precious time running from one appointment to the next.

Just as a key to good relationships is communication, it also plays a role in wedding planning. Brides should take care to keep their grooms in the loop and vice versa. The article suggests delegating priorities to each partner to act as contacts. For instance, brides might handle the flowers and cake while grooms manage the music and food.

Lastly, advances in technology make virtual wedding planning a very real possibility in today's modern day and age. The article suggests couples make use of tools like Google Docs to stay in touch about real-time details.
