This is one of the necessary prerequisites for marriage, because this article focuses on the preparation of the wedding, so this stage is omitted.
This stage needs to be explained. According to the newly revised Marriage Law, registration of marriage can be exempted from the marriage test and unit certificate, but for safety reasons, it is recommended to go for a marriage test. The place of registration is usually registered with the marriage registry office of the district where the man lives. When you go there, you should try to wear good clothes and dress up nicely - to be ready for the photo on the marriage license. It's also a good idea to take some candy over to the staff at the registry office to thank them (customary practice that can be abolished). The procedure, as I remember it, starts with registration, then the staff verifies that the two are eligible for marriage, then photos are taken, then the provisions of the marriage law are read out, and then the license is issued and they walk away. In the evening the two can have a candlelight dinner with excitement or catch the next part.

This is a big part of the process that one must go through before getting married. During this period, it is a crucial time for the two to get to know each other better. Through the collision of house decoration ideas and work on the consciousness, you can fully understand the two people's future status and role at home, as well as the two people's **** the same hobbies and so on. Because this aspect is mainly related to house decoration, not related to the subject of this article, so also skipped.
Hotel: booking the hotel should be in the wedding six months before the start of the booking, otherwise in the wedding season you simply can not find a suitable hotel. The key to booking a hotel is the venue (with or without pillars affecting the line of sight), the meal (the hotel's most ripped off), the quality of service (mainly the degree of cooperation with the hotel, including whether or not to provide a podium, flowers, arches, champagne towers, cakes, red carpet, happy words, signing the book, etc.). At the same time to remember the phone number of the main person in charge, to maintain constant contact.
The fleet of vehicles: there are mainly two ways: provided by the ceremonial company and find your own. Time is best within 3 months. Ceremony company to provide the benefits of a vehicle is guaranteed, the same brand of car do not have to find their own; Second, the service is guaranteed, out of the problem can find the ceremony company is responsible for the claim, the third is purely monetary friendship, there is no favors. The disadvantage is that spending a lot of money, the head of the car lengthening is generally in the 2000 - 1200 yuan or so, fleet vehicles due to different brands of price varies, generally in the 1200 - 300 yuan or so. The advantage of looking for their own is to save money, the disadvantage is that there is no guarantee that the wedding day car does not come to the situation often occurs; the second is a big favor. Of course, if the individual has the strength, looking for their own or more cost-effective.
