How to plan a wedding, first rule

First rule on how to plan a wedding: don't panic!

I think I'll have to repeat this on and on, as we go on ;)

Getting engaged can be one of the most memorable and exciting moments in your life, but it can become an horror movie, too! just after the proposal you'll feel happy and excited, willing to anticipate everything: this should go on until you say "yes, I do". Sometimes doesn't happen. You may often experience a few butterflies and a little confusion: organizing a ceremony and reception is a big undertaking.
There will be questions about anything and everything: from the meal to the wedding gown, to music, to where you'll put your pet while you're on honeymoon.

I'm here not to explain you the Holy Grail of Weddings, i.e. how to eliminate every problem, but just to have a few words with you on dos and don'ts, so that you'll be able to cope with stress, anxiety, parents and so on!
The only important thing you need to kepp in mind, ALWAYS, is that you've met the partner of your dreams, and you're going to organize the official celebration of your love and commitment.
