Since the emphasis and the concept of having a wedding and why we have them is do huge an expectations are higher than ever, there is really no surprise why it can seem to have such a strong hold us. Seeing as this is the what we have to deal with, why not try and make things as easy and smooth as possible?

What is the very first step that will lead to everything else ?

The proposal. Without this, how is everything supposed to pan out like it is meant to? You can go about proposing in three simple steps that you can alter or add even more steps you would be comfortable with.

Firstly, you have to be prepared. This means mentally and emotionally (being prepared physically, for instance freshening up your appearance can't hurt either). Think hard and make sure this is what you an the other person want.

Take care of any  major issues that either of you may be facing before hand. When you are in bliss, propose away! Take good care of yourself and your partner, inside and out.

Secondly, pick out a ring. You can do this yourself or bring a close friend or family member with you as well. Make sure it's something that is beautiful and will complement your partner's style.

Last, choose the nice and laid back place (or exciting, depending on what you two like) and plan out the date exactly as you want it to go.
