You only get to be in your fiancé era for so long. 💍
And while there are plenty of things to book, choose, organize, and check off the wedding planning list, don't forget to actually enjoy this part.
Here are five things worth doing before you officially become newlyweds:
💍Celebrate your engagement more than once. You don't need a formal engagement party. Pop the champagne on a random Tuesday, go out to dinner, or find little reasons to say, “We're getting married!”
💍Take engagement photos that feel like you. Dress up, stay casual, revisit where you had your first date, bring your dog, grab pizza afterward. Make it an experience rather than another wedding task.
💍Go on dates where wedding planning is off-limits. No budgets. No seating charts. No asking, “Did you ever email the DJ?” Just be together.
💍Document this season. Take the selfies. Save the little notes. Screenshot the excited texts. Write down the funny planning stories. Your engagement is part of your story, too.
💍Do something just because you're engaged. Take a weekend trip, have a fiancé photoshoot, buy the ridiculously cheesy “future Mrs./Mr.” thing, start a new tradition, or simply find an excuse to celebrate.
Your engagement isn't just the waiting room before marriage. It's its own little era, and someday, you'll probably be glad you enjoyed it while you were in it.

From the Editor
As I write this at the beginning of winter, I reflect on the incredible 2023 wedding season. I am filled with the memories of events I attended, clients I worked with, and wedding professionals I collaborated with. It has been a great season here in Maine!
Real Maine Weddings hosted the 4th annual Maine Weddings EDU conference in October. We had record attendance and a fantastic lineup of speakers that included Chef Nettie Frank, Kunbi Odubogun, Jaclyn Watson, Terrica, and Marc McIntosh, as well as local pros, including Michelle Fratianne, Rob Labelle, The Wellness Connection, the State of Maine Liquor Bureau, and Jerry Bazata. Aisle Planner, Caron & Co, Life in Focus, M.A.N.E. Catering, and Total Party Planner provided invaluable sponsorships. It was great to spend two days with other wedding professionals, learning and discovering new ways to enhance local wedding businesses and make the experience even better.
Our team hopes that you enjoy the new Real Maine Weddings website. It is always exciting to see the scope and breadth of the weddings in Maine each season. The talent that goes into producing them and the smiling faces of couples, families, and guests are a heartwarming reminder of all that’s good in the world. We can’t wait to see what comes next!
Sincerely,
Reuben
