Premarital Counseling in South Carolina
The First Dance won a Modern Bride Magazine Trendsetter award for tackling the complex interpersonal relationships in wedding planning. Wedding planning brings up all the issues you will face as a married couple - budgeting, team work, who is part of your community (guest list.)
A wedding is the most complex interpersonal event of your lives and it happens at the beginning, before you've spent decades working hard to learn the nuance of each other and your families.
Wedding planning can be thrilling and maddening - sometimes at the same time. We have a wide variety of premarital counseling and marriage preparation options (scroll below counselor list.) We also have a TELEPHONE listing.
