Congratulations! you are engaged to be married. You are at the
door steps of the most exciting time in your life.
Enjoy it! Chronicle it! Put your journey in a journal! and
include your thoughts and feelings.
Or better yet, transform your journal into a Wedding Scrap Book.


Create a family legacy to share the memories of your engagement,
wedding and life together with your children and grandchildren.

Keep a diary of actions taken, experiences and feelings as they
occur or shortly thereafter.
Put your ideas, dreams, goals desires and aspirations on paper.
Write about family happening about activities you participated
in,
about your friends and your loved ones. How you feel and whatever
is important to you at that moment, and by all means add
pictures.

Keep a little pad and a pen handy in your pocket, purse or bag
at all times and write in it. This will assure that what you
write is
fresh and is not written from memory.

Actually keeping a journal will help you prepare for your wedding
and beyond.
The action of putting your experiences, thoughts, feelings,
ideas, dreams, desires and aspirations on paper will accomplish
more than merely a record to look back to and share with the
following generations.

When you make your journal, your "best friend", it will
help you reduce the stress that builds up as you prepare
for your wedding. If you continue after your wedding,
the mere act of journalling will reduce stress that comes
with married life. Additionally your journal will help you
set goals, get organized and focus on the task at hand.

Your journal is a reflection of you! Make it very personal and
very special! choose what you will write in, what you will
write with, what pictures you will include and whether you'd like
to add some quotes to reflect your personality.
Look at as many options as are available to you and select the
ones that are "you".
Whether you opt for natural paper books and fancy pens,
or prefer to write using your computer you must be comfortable
with the tools you choose.
If you opt for the computer, make sure you are comfortable
with the set up and that you not only back it up, but print the
pages.

Writing your journal should be fun. Don't be afraid to express
yourself in all aspects of your chroncles.

You'll encounter days with more, days with less and days with no
material to write about. and this is ok!
Always remember that the journal is your most personal record.
You are in charge! There are no have tos, no excuses, no
judgements
and no critisizm.

So, as you prepare for your wedding and your new life ahead, keep
a journal, and place it for safe keeping.

Eventually, your journal may become a treasured keepsake - a
family heirloom!

Think of how much fun it will be to review it with your loved one
as you celebrate a significant anniversary or another special
occasions, or as your child prepares to get married.
