One important thing to think about when planning your wedding besides flowers and catering is insurance. It is something that you and your future spouse should talk about before walking down the aisle. That way it will be taken care of and you won't have to worry about it after the wedding.

Medical, auto, home or renters, life and disability insurance are all things that need to be honestly talked about and thought about.



Here are some example questions that should be asked:

• Who will go on whose plan?
• How much life or disability insurance coverage do you require to take out?
• How much home/renters insurance is necessary and what is too much?

Medical and auto insurance is something that both of you would have individually, and chances are it won't be with the same broker. For medical insurance it would be best to speak with a benefits representative at your work. They will be able to break down the costs for you and tell you the extra cost of adding another person onto your plan. In some instances it is more advantageous if each person keeps their original insurance plan because it is simply a better offer than going onto their partners.

When you figure out who has the better plan inform your human resources or benefits department that you will be adding your spouse onto your insurance effective your wedding date. Then the other can drop their health insurance policy. You might not want to use your wedding ceremony date for this one, use a date a couple of weeks later just to make sure you don’t have a lapse in insurance coverage.

Automobile insurance works a little different than health-related insurance for a few reasons:

• Your premium has a lot of elements such as tickets and accidents.
• If one of you have been in multiple accidents or have been pulled over and obtained points, then your insurance will be higher than someone without those things.

If both of you have clean driving records, talk to your brokers. They will be in a position to inform you what your expense will be for adding someone to your insurance policy. Nine instances out of ten they will able to work you a deal and your costs will be reduced than before. However if you have a negative driving history, you might end up spending a higher premium for a while.

There are some misconceived notions about auto insurance. That you cannot cancel or change your auto insurance coverage until it is time to renew your policy. That is bogus. You can change your insurance coverage or drop your policy at anytime without a problem. The problem will occur, however if you permit your policy lapse. If you are not insured for even a day for whatever reason, you could end up paying a large sum of money.
 

Once more it would be an excellent thought to get this taken care of using your wedding date as a beginning point for the coverage to begin. Start speaking to your agents a few months preceding to your wedding to see what figures they can come up with. This is something that you don’t want to let go by, as it will end up costing you.
