If you have mutual friends, ask them to help facilitate an introduction when you're all together. If you do not have mutual friends, you could consider becoming involved in a group or club that he attends. This will not only aid in increasing your interaction with him, but will also create an instant common ground that may feel more natural. When you are around the boy, try to project an open, friendly demeanor. Avoid aggressive body language such as clenching your fists and crossing your arms. Instead, maintain open body language by keeping your arms relaxed at your sides and smiling or nodding at him. When you chat with the boy, you should also maintain eye contact with him to show him you are engaged in what he has to say.

Summary: Find out his interests. Follow him on social media. Focus on interests you have in common. Approach him in a group setting. Maintain open body language around him.

Together with your partner (and any family members who may be helping pay for your wedding), you'll want to decide exactly how much you can afford to spend. It's important to do plenty of research so you have an idea of how much each individual aspect of your wedding is likely to cost. Although weddings can be expensive, it is possible to plan the day of your dreams on a budget. Destination weddings aren't necessarily more expensive than traditional ones and can even save you money in some cases. However, it's still important to have a reasonable, well-thought out budget and consider any extra expenses you're likely to incur. Since you're unlikely to be able to travel back and forth multiple times to attend various appointments and meet with local vendors, it's a good idea to hire someone you can trust to take care of these details on your behalf. Some venues and wedding packages provide a wedding specialist. In other cases, you'll need to hire someone on your own. Either way, make sure you clearly communicate your vision and ideas to whoever will be helping you plan your special day. Especially if there's a language barrier, choosing an all-inclusive package where your venue does most of the work for you can take away a lot of pressure and stress. , keeping the weather and your budget in mind. Consider your destination's peak season when you decide on a date for your wedding. There may be certain seasons that are more crowded and touristy than others, and venue and vendor fees may be much higher during these times. Having your wedding during your destination's "off-season" may save you money, but keep in mind that some vendors may only operate during peak season and inclement weather may be more likely. It's also a good idea to talk to your wedding party, as well as your close family and friends, before setting a date to make sure they're available. Your wedding planner may have a list of vendors they regularly work with and trust in the area, so talking to them is a good place to start. You'll also want to look at any potential vendors' online portfolios and ask them for references. If possible, plan a trip to meet with your vendors in person. If that's not feasible, consider scheduling meetings via video chat. You can also opt to bring certain vendors with you. For example, if you have a photographer you really like, or a friend who does hair and makeup, it might be worth flying them out for your wedding. Airline ticket prices vary from season to season and can be unpredictable. The earlier you start looking for a good deal, the better. For a trip as important as your wedding, you definitely don't want to wait until the last minute to book your flight. If you're getting married in a warm, tropical climate, you probably don't want to be wearing a heavy ball gown or wool suit. Also, keep in mind that high heels aren't well suited to ceremonies on sandy beaches. Make sure to suggest appropriate attire to your guests as well. You can do this on your invitations or wedding website. If possible, fly to your destination ahead of time to meet with your planner, tour your venue, rehearse for your ceremony, and make final arrangements. Arriving early can also help calm your nerves and prevent you from being jet-lagged on your special day.
Summary: Develop a budget and stick to it. Enlist the help of a local wedding planner. Set a date Find and vet your vendors carefully. Buy your plane tickets at least 6 months in advance. Dress according to your destination's weather. Arrive a few days early to help with final preparations.
