How You Can Stay in Love While Planning a Wedding

Your connection is everything, so keep close by sharing lots and lots of kisses!

It's more than likely that your groom doesn't know what his planning duties are (address collection, anyone?), so give him a clear outline of what is needed to avoid any frustration.

You are both excited to be getting married, but be sure to set designated times of day where you don't discuss your upcoming nuptials! Because really, there is nothing worse than an unexpected discussion about the seating arrangement.

Experiencing writer's block? Try writing your vows together. Brainstorming alone will help you remember all the things you love about your sweetie.

It doesn't have to be anything big, but it's the thought that counts. Our favorite idea? Pick a flower on your way home from work and give it to your someone special.

It may sound silly, but try it! It's a borrowed tradition from generations before and we're all about honoring that.

Your groom doesn't realize that those hot glue gun burns are a result of trying to do it all by yourself. Be sure to ask for help when you need it!

He planned the ultimate surprise, so get the deets! It's so much fun asking your sweetheart how and why he chose to do certain things, and this will certainly bring a smile to both of your faces.

What better way to fall in love all over again than planning all the fun you'll have post-wedding?

In the car, on your way into the grocery store, basically anytime you can — hold your soon-to-be husband's hand.

Trust me when I say this, Pinterest won't know if you take a few hours off to forgo planning. Be sure to take time to unplug from the process and enjoy the art of being engaged. Take a stroll together and stop for a kiss, savor the sweet moments.

Rather than ordering in and starting another Netflix marathon, plan a special outing together! Before you were officially an item you used to date, it's important to keep the romance alive.

Dancing is not only a fun way to get close, but it also means you'll have to coordinate your time and moves.

There is nothing sweeter than being playing sous chef, and nothing better than bonding over delicious bites of homemade heaven.

Love is sweet and cake tasting? Well, it's the icing on wedding planning! Make a day of it and go all out pretending you're a judge on the Food Network.

We're sure you've got a bottle of something you've been saving, open up the good stuff and cheers to your new adventure together.

Remember when you first met? Remember having crazy butterflies every time your phone read "new call" or "text message" — yeah, we certainly do. Go back and find your first correspondences and reread them to remember what made you fall madly in love in the first place.

Be sure to stop and enjoy those small moments together. Whether you're at a party and catch his eye across the room, or holding hands as you stroll to the farmers market, it's moments like this that add up into a love story.
