Plan A Dream Wedding And We'll Reveal How Many Kids Are In The Near Future
They say that the wedding day is the most important day of a person's life. But before anyone can walk down the aisle, there's a lot of decisions that have to be made. Where is the wedding taking place? Is it going to be outdoors or indoors? How about the season or the date? On top of decisions, there's also so much research to be done. Couples have to find a photographer, officiant, coordinator, caterer, baker, florist, DJ, and so many other important people. Plus, there's all the family drama. It can be pretty crazy trying to put together a guest list and decide who gets to come and who doesn't make the cut. What about a wedding party? Choosing bridesmaids and groomsmen is no easy feat and there's lots of drama trying to get those people organized.
But they say all of that stress and drama, all of those decisions and headaches, all of that money spent and time used up, is all worth it. The wedding day is magical and no one regrets any of it. Plus after the wedding, comes the marriage. That's the real exciting part - spending the rest of your life with your loved one. And then comes a baby in a baby carriage, right? According to the old nursery rhyme at least. But how many babies will there be? Take this quiz and find out!
Indoor or outdoor wedding?
Let's start with an easy one: is your wedding going to be indoors or outdoors? Outside can be beautiful with all of the natural settings to choose from. But you may also have to deal with things like heat, humidity and bugs. So, what's it going to be? Are you staying in or going out?
What season?
When would you like your wedding to be held? Are you a summer person who loves the sun? Are you all about the spring and fresh flowers (with a little rain)? Is fall your season with changing leaves and wind? Or are you going for the winter wonderland vibe with snow?
How many people are coming?
Weddings can be all about the guest count. So how many people are you sending invites to? Some people invite everyone they know and then let their parents do the same. While others prefer to run away and elope just the two of them. So is it going to be a big party or an intimate affair for you?
First look?
Are you planning to do a first look? A first look is when the couple sees each other before the ceremony and shares a moment alone (with their photographer) instead of seeing each other for the first time when they're heading down the aisle. What do you think?
What about vows?
When it comes to the vows, what are you thinking? Are you planning to write your own and recite them from memory? Are you doing repeat after me style with your officiant? Are the vows going to be traditional or totally modern? Or are you skipping the vows altogether cause that's way too personal?
What kind of shoes?
Okay, shoes might not be on your radar for your wedding day. But you don't want to get cold feet now do you? So let's take a moment to think about your footwear. What do you imagine wearing on your big day? Is it all about look or all about comfort? Are you blowing the budget or getting something on sale?
What kind of bouquet?
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet!" What kind of bouquet are you dreaming of holding? Is it lush and full or more simple and slender? What colors are you using? What type of flowers? Will all of your bridesmaids have matching bouquets? When it comes to flower power, what's your pick?
Plan the night before
What are your plans for the night before your wedding? Traditionally, the couple spend the night apart. But how traditional are you? What's on the agenda for your wedding eve? Is it gossip and girl talk with your bridesmaids or a romantic meal with your fiancé before the wedding day?
Who is officiating?
Obviously you are doing the marrying - you and your partner. But who is going to marry you? Who is going to get up there and pronounce you two legally wed and all of that jazz? It's an important job so you want to make sure you pick the right person. Someone who isn't going to forget to sign the license!

What type of ring did you get to show off every time you announced that you were engaged? Big and sparkly or small and subtle?
Where's the honeymoon?
So let's look ahead to the end of the wedding: where are the newlyweds celebrating their honeymoon? For some couples, the honeymoon might even be more important than the wedding itself. And for other couples, there's not even time to go on a honeymoon. What's the perfect honeymoon for you?
Where's the reception?
What kind of venue are you thinking for the reception? Is it all about glamour and making your guests say "WOW!" or is it all about comfort and making the reception feel homey? What kind of vibe is your reception giving off? Is it rustic, chic, elegant, unusual, modern, romantic or something totally different?
What's for dinner?
Okay, so we're at your reception and we're all wondering: what's for dinner? The food can really make or break a wedding. People will be ranting or raving about your food. Are you going buffet style or a plated meal? Will there be little stations? Are you even serving dinner at all or is it more appetizers and desserts?
The dress
Okay, let's talk about the big one. The dress. What kind of dress are you going to be wearing? Are you going old school and wearing your mom's dress or are you going all out with appointments at Kleinfeld's and Vera Wang? What kind of neckline are you wearing? Is there a train? So many decisions!
Bouquet toss - yes or no?
Where do you stand on the bouquet toss? Are you for it or against it? Traditionally, all of the single women gather on the dance floor and the bride tosses her bouquet over her shoulder. The ladies all grab for it and the one who wins will get married next, or so says the tradition. So what do you think of it?
What's the ride?
On the wedding day, some couples like to go all out and ride in style. We're talking the big stretch limo with the sun roof, champagne and plush seats. Others prefer to save a little money or maybe opt for something more unusual than a limo. So what's the ride for you? How will you be pulling up to your ceremony and reception?
What kind of cake?
The wedding cake is one of the pivotal parts of the wedding reception. To some people, it's not even a wedding if you don't have a real cake. So what kind of cake are you going to have? What flavor is your favorite? What kind of icing? How many tiers? What kind of decoration?
What's the dress budget?
Okay, so we talked about what kind of dress you're going to have. But now let's get down to the details: how much will you be spending on it? Some brides spend thousands and thousands of dollars with no limit in sight. Others keep things more modest. And then there's the question of who is paying!
Beach weddings - yay or nay?

What's the centerpiece?
So we've already discussed your bouquet, let's move onto another popular place for flowers: the centerpieces!

What's to drink?
After eating, your guests are probably most concerned with drinking. What kind of beverages will you be serving? Is it an open bar, cash bar or a dry wedding? Will drinks be the main part of the party or not a factor at all. When someone gets up to toast you, what glass will they have in their hand?
What kind of jewelry?
So we've got your dress and your bouquet. But what about your accessories. Are you wearing a veil? A necklace? Earrings? A bracelet? What kind of jewelry fits your style and goes with your wedding look? Are you going for simple and classic pieces or something more bold and edgy?
What song and dance for the first dance?
It's time for your first dance! What kind of dance will you and your new spouse be doing? Are you two the type to own the dance floor or do you only dance with a bit of liquid courage? Are you taking dance lessons beforehand? Are you doing something choreographed or just making it up? And what song is playing?
Flower girls and ring bearers - yes or no?
Where do you stand on having children in your wedding party? And just because you want kids in real life doesn't mean you have to put them in your wedding party and vice versa. Do you love the idea of having little mini flower girls in big dresses or does the idea of wrangling children stress you out?
