How to Plan your Wedding Values
If you think you’ve found the right company that fits your values, great! Now, you’ll want to settle down and take the next step in your relationship. So let’s ease those pre-engagement jitters a little. Before you drop down on one knee, learn what your core values are. Do you know yours? If you don’t, that’s okay! Grab a pen and paper and let’s get started.
It’s a universal understanding that in order to love anyone else, you must first love yourself. So knowing your values will help tremendously when searching for compatibility with a company’s values. You want to avoid those petty arguments down the road. The last thing you want is to be one those couples who have big fights over the color of the
carpet.
