You've
been engaged for months, you've made it through planning the ceremony,
the attire, the reception, the honeymoon, and you haven't killed each
other yet. The worst is over. When you wake up on the morning of your
wedding day, your only job is to go along for the ride, enjoy every
moment and make some memories. Read on for essential advice for your
wedding day. Both
of you have been waiting and planning for a long time in order to make
this day go off without a hitch. Just be aware that things NEVER go as
planned, so expect the unexpected and don't get too worked up about it.
It is the unexpected events that make the best stories for years to
come. Relax, and have a good time. This is your day to celebrate your
blissful union. For
her: The
day of the wedding is often more stressful for the bride than any of the
planning process has been. Start your morning off with a relaxing bubble
bath or a massage at the spa. You deserve to start this hectic day as
cool and relaxed as you possibly can be. Do it alone if you need some
private time (since you will be surrounded by people ogling and vying
for your attention for the remainder of the day), or if you are nervous
and need to chat, invite the bridesmaids along for some pre-wedding
pampering. Have
all appointments made ahead of time, and allow plenty of time for
hair-dos, make-up, manicures, etc. Have a close friend who is not part
of the wedding party act as your gopher for the day. If you get a run in
your pantyhose, they'll be on call to run to the store. If your florist
is running late, they are in charge of calling the company. This will
keep you removed from most of the stressful situations, and keep you
moving on schedule. Don't forget to give your friend a gift for helping
you through any wedding day glitches! Arrive at the church with plenty
of time to spare. Remember, you MIGHT tear up a bit, so have plenty of
tissues handy as to not smear that gorgeous make-up. Spend
the last few minutes before the wedding starts with your bridesmaids. Do
some deep breathing if you're nervous, and think about how long you have
been awaiting this precious day. For
him: It
is perfectly normal for the groom to wake up a bit jittery on the
morning of his wedding. The best way to handle the stress of this day is
to make sure you have all your responsibilities completed ahead of time
so you can spend this day in a stress-free zone. Things to double check
the preceding week include travel plans for the honeymoon,
transportation from church to reception and reception to airport, cost
of anyone you will be paying on the actual wedding day (and remember to
have plenty of extra cash for tipping- EVERYONE involved expects to be
tipped at least 15%). Sleep
in. Having plenty of rest is important before the hours of socializing
you'll be doing today. When you get up, a long jog or a trip to the gym
is often just what you'll need to work off some of those anxious
feelings. Allow plenty of time to get ready and arrive early at the
church. Spend some time horsing around with your groomsmen. Take some
deep breaths, and wait for your beautiful bride.
