This coming weekend is going to be a very exciting time for Stephanie, as her big wedding day is finally just days away! We thought we would spend the days leading up to her special wedding day sharing wedding layouts from out entire design team. And not just any wedding layouts, but layouts using photos from our own weddings. I think we have all enjoyed traveling down memory lane as we dug out photos for these layouts. Each designer is also sharing a few tidbits of marriage advice from our own personal experience.
“Destiny”, by Wendy Antenucci.
I believe that two are joined together for a certain purpose - as your marriage grows over the years you become one and that means your hearts begin to beat the same. My hubby and I have learned to follow our hearts and that we both should agree before we do something - no secrets. Everyone has a destiny, what will be the destiny of you and your new husband, if you can find that and agree to travel together towards that spot you will never be happier. Believe me after 13 years of marriage and soon to be 6 kids, we know, LOL! Blessings on you both as you start the best journey you will ever have!

Big congrats to Stephanie on her upcoming wedding! My best piece of marriage advice is to always make time for each other and put your marriage first. Life can be so busy (especially with little ones!) and I really believe it's important to invest in your relationship; everything else will fall into place. Make regular date nights and plan weekends away together. Take the time to compliment each other. Best of luck to you both!

“Favorite”, by Kim Jeffress.
My husband and I have been married for 8 years and before that we were together for 3 years. To this day we still sit on the couch and watch TV holding hands. It's just our way of being together after working all day and running around after the kids. I hope we are still doing long into our future.

“I’m The Lucky One”, by Becki Adams.
When I got married years...and years ago someone told us to never ever go to bed angry. We followed that advice *once* we stayed awake late arguing and arguing. I finally just ended the argument just so I could go to bed. When we woke up the next morning we talked about it and decided the argument was a lot worse than it should have been because we were both so tired. So my advice is that sometimes it's okay to go to bed angry, things always look better with the morning sun and when you are both well rested! Best Wishes Steven and Stephanie!

"Our Wedding Day", by Megan Klauer.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! First of all, you picked the best date to get married (we picked the same date!) ;) As far as advice ... I know you may hear it over & over again, but never go to bed angry. It's true! Stephanie: Stay up until 2am and stand your ground if you have to {hee hee} & Steven: remember these very important words; YES DEAR. Oh, and always, always laugh together. But seriously, congratulations & best wishes to the both of you!

My little piece of marriage advice that I want to share with you is to pick your battles. Over the years, there will be so many little things that start to bug you about your spouse. Like how they can never seem to put the toothpaste back in the cabinet, so twice a day, you're the one that has to put it away (that might be me and my husband ;)). Learn to let the little things go, and only spend time fighting for and about things that truely matter.
