Hello and welcome back to the show, the fist of 2021. Many of you listening today might have gotten engaged over the holidays, or maybe you got engaged in 2020, but haven't started planning anything yet. In either case, today's show takes you literally, step-by-step, through the planning process by giving you the 3 things you need to do FIRST before booking any vendors or planning any bit of your wedding.

This are tips based on the bad, misinformed and uneducated choices my husband and I made, and I don't want you to make the same mistakes. These tips will set you up for success and give you the confidence to make the right decisions going forward for a less stressful and more enjoyable wedding planning experience.

Today, I'm sharing:

• The three things you need to do
• The correct order in which to do them, even though it might sounds contradictory to anything you've heard before in the past
• Why these three items are so important
