Wedding first dance and pre marriage counselling recommendations

[Sue]

Maybe the best people to advise would be those who have actually managed to stay together for years?

Never had pre marriage counselling - been with the same man since 1979 but got married in 1982. Plenty or arguments/disagreements, thought when going through s bad patch that we should separate. Reality of it would be that both would worry about each other so no point in putting ourselves through a separation

As in all relationships - you have me time, and our time, my friends, his friends and our friends. Take time out when having kids to remember yourselves as a couple and not just Mum and Dad.

We did not have a first dance - just a small wedding and reception ( 35 -40 guests) Most people I know just do the usual shuffle/waltz - it is the symbolism that counts - first married dance - not the display.
