How to Bring up the Prenuptial Agreement

“What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine.” You may have heard that little saying before and laughed, but if a couple ends up getting divorced later down the road, that funny saying could turn into reality and wreak havoc on your life as you know it.

You have discussed the wedding cake, found a Party Bus NYC will love, but have you talked about the nitty gritty?

Discussing a prenuptial agreement is not easy for everyone. It’s like discussing advance directives or funeral arrangements, you don’t necessarily want to talk about it, although it is necessary to handle it sooner than later.

Richard Carlson, and his wife Kristine Carlson wrote a book together after having being together for decades. They discussed a few very helpful techniques. They talk about having a heart to heart conversation to talk about things that mean a lot to each other or are just difficult to talk about.

This same heart to heart technique can be used to talk about a prenup. They recommend entering the conversation in gentle manner and maintaining a loving and receptive perception.

The same state can often be found after having worked out, or exhausting a lot of energy on something—but not to the point of exhaustion. For example, going kayaking, hiking, or other semi rigorous activities. Even shopping and walking a good bit can get someone in a calm mind set.

You can create the mood by going to an environment that promote peace.

Avoid talking about it right when you all wake up or just before you go to sleep. It’s just bad timing!

Don’t try to talk about it when you’re at the bachelor/bachelorette party cruising on an NYC Party Bus Rental. Trust me, they won’t remember the next day! Having a glass of wine or one drink could be helpful though.

Start the conversation by reminding them you love them.

Scoping out NYC for your Wedding

Visiting the most talked about city in the US can be daunting, I mean where do you start? You’ve probably read a billion articles on the best shopping outlets, restaurants, art galleries, museums, clubs, and the list goes on. But then things get a little more scrambled—do you take the metro? Snag some car service NYC frequently uses, or grab a taxi and hold on for dear life? NYC limousines are the way to go.

Why?

When you go somewhere you have never been before it’s always best to know someone who already lives there. But sometimes that is just not an option, but you can get the next best thing: a limo driver.

A limousine chauffeur is more than familiar with the surround area, after all it’s literally their job to know it. A part of their job that also comes naturally through time is knowing common traffic patterns and local attractions. They could tell you how this boring street comes to life at 10 pm when the music venue gets popular, or tell you the most romantic places he’s driven couples for their anniversaries; as well as the places that it’s best not to go if you’re not a local.

One thing they can tell you all about is wedding venues. Hitch a ride with a professional limousine driver that can let you stop and take a look until you find that perfect place to say “I Do.”

On the search:

●     Have some ideas or questions in your mind before you ride out to each one that way you can compare all the cons and pros later. A great way to do this is to record on your phone, things you liked about each venue or what could have been better.

●     Take pictures! Sometimes the memory fools us.

●     Better yet—bring pictures! Already know what your dress, cake, and centerpieces are going to look like, match it up on the spot.
