So far, in the past year of planning my spring wedding, I've learned more than just what kind of flowers and colors I do or don't like -- I've learned a few things about myself along the way too.

Don't let the stress of wedding planning ruin the fun of being engaged.

You can organize this quickly or take all the time in the world. Either way, choose when and where that make the two of you happy, and everybody else will fall in line.
