Leonard says the average wedding costs between $30,000 and $51,000 dollars. The amount of investment and preparation causes a great deal of stress and pressure - pressure to make the day perfect. Here is her advice:

1. Don't lose the meaning of the day.

Often the bride and groom get so caught up in the details that they lose sight of each other. This makes them vulnerable to crashing when something small goes wrong.

2. Stay grounded and connected to your fiancé

Have a "sit down" and each person identify their 3 most meaningful components of the wedding. On your wedding day, focus on these things and stay committed to ensuring these things happen for yourself and your fiancé. Stay a team. The most magical and memorable weddings are the weddings where the bride and groom seem in love and attuned to each other. Details don't make the wedding - the love between the bride and groom does.

3. Don't sweat the details

Stay focused on the meaningful components of the wedding. The details will take care of themselves. Do not sweat the small stuff on your wedding day.

3) Mishaps, conflict, and drama are easier to handle as a united front. Stay connected. This translates to the future as well.
