Planning Tip #877 - The Ceremony
The bride and groom can become so excited about the big day that little details may slip by like who will perform the wedding. Find an officiant to perform your wedding well in advance. Six to nine months out from the wedding date is a good time to start your search.

Planning Tip #999 - To Do Before I Do
No one likes a slacker, particularly if she comes back from vacation tanned and blissed-out. Avoid becoming the office pariah by tying up projects and other loose ends before you check out for your wedding. Discuss your workload with your boss and co-workers, and divvy up tasks that must be handled while you’re out for the wedding and honeymoon. Inform everyone who will be even a little bit impacted by your absence, and give them the name of the person they can turn to if necessary.
