Firstly, CONGRATULATIONS on your engagement. Thank you for visiting The Wedding Engineers – we’re looking forward to helping you plan your special day. We are the pioneers in weddings in Egypt and we’ve got you covered from creating a budget, sending your invitations, to the minute you walk down the aisle.
This Wedding Planning Questions Guide covers all you need to know to start planning the wedding you’ve always dreamed of. Above all else, don’t forget that planning a wedding is meant to be fun! Sure it’s a lot of work, and you may need to occasionally vent out, but remember… you’re tying the knot with the person you love more than anything in the world. And when you walk down that aisle, and see your loved one waiting at the top for you… take it from us, it’s well worth it.
