1. Celebrate: Take some time to celebrate with your partner and loved ones. This is a special moment that you will never forget, so enjoy it!

2. Set a budget: Before you start making any plans, it's important to set a budget. Make sure you and your partner are in agreement on how much you want to spend.

3. Choose a date: Decide on a date or a few options for your wedding. Keep in mind that some venues may have limited availability during peak wedding season, so it's best to start looking early.

4. Create a guest list: Make a list of family and friends you want to invite. This will help you determine the size of venue you need and can also help with budget planning.

5. Hire a wedding planner or start planning yourself: Decide whether you want to hire a wedding planner or plan everything yourself. If you decide to do it yourself, start researching vendors such as venues, photographers, florists, and caterers.

8. Choose your wedding party: Decide who you want to stand beside you on your big day and ask them to be a part of your wedding party.

9. Send save the dates: Once all major details are confirmed, you can send out save the dates to your guests. This lets them know to reserve the date for your wedding.
