Advice for New Bride..?

Question

I get married in 2 weeks. Any advice for me..Things to not forget, things let go,...etc

Answer 1

Remember that the day is about the two of you - not who shows up when or why.

Enjoy your day!

Answer 2

Sometimes what you plan for your wedding doesn't go according to the plan.  If this happens to you... don't let it get to you.  Nothing is worth ruining your day.  Your goal that day is to have a good time and to keep your stress levels to a minimum.  

One of my bridal clients came to me after her wedding and I always ask how things went.  She went on to say that when she noticed that things were not being done like she asked at her reception, she went into bridezilla mode.  And needless to say her video caught her angry and recorded her using profanity, numerous times during the reception.  After seeing the video she really felt embarrassed.  She realized she should have put someone she could trust in charge at her wedding.  Instead she tried to run the show herself, being her own directress.

So put someone in charge who you can trust to oversee the reception and carry out your wishes.  And even if something doesn't go according to plan remember the guest won't know so... there is no need to worry yourself about it.  

Answer 3

ONe thing they told me seconds befor I walk up the aisle.

NO MATTER WHAT SMILE PICTURES ARE FOREVER.

so nomatter what goes wrong on your wedding day never stop smiling.

Answer 4

Just relax.  Congratulations.  The wedding will be here before you know it.  There isn't a ton left to do.  Just confirm everything: church, reception hall, flowers, limo, photographer, and honeymoon.  Pack for your honeymoon and make appointments for your hair, makeup and nails if you haven't already done so.  Also you will have to give a head count for the reception.  Just enjoy this time.  

Answer 5

something will go wrong and it is perfectly ok, it is expected and it will not matter.  

no matter what happens, count to ten first.  then smile.  trust me on this one.  

having said that, have your list and call EVERYONE who is part of your day and confirm their duties, prices, and times.  i once went to a wedding with no food because no one called the caterer to confirm who completely forgot, true story.

dont take any any any drugs, dont tan, dont put anything whatsoever on your face or in or on your body that you have never put there before.  

dont take any drugs,  they dont relax you they make you forget everything the next day.  i once saw a sedated mother of the bride zoned out in a corner on xanax while the bride collapsed in tears.

rehearse your pictures with your photographer, are you in agreement as to what you are both doing?  ditto the DJ.  

remember to breathe.  very very important.  

remember that all the yahoo people here have been following your story and will be with you in spirit and wish you blessings and happiness and every good thing.  because you deserve it.  because you are a dear heart.  with heart.

Answer 6

Enjoy every little moment on your wedding day.  Don't freak out over things that might not be going right.  Most people won't even notice things aren't perfect.  Remember you are there to marry the man you love.  As long as those vows are spoken in truth and love then your wedding is a success.  Remember all happy brides are beautiful on their wedding day.  It is just a glow they have.  So don't worry about that.  You will look amazing!!  

Answer 7

Let me give you the best piece of advice that was given to me:

It really is just a party. It isn't the reflection on you that you think it is.

The day may not go perfect, but so what? you and your new hubby will laugh about it late.

Oh, and make sure to eat. At least have a snack before you walk down the aisle, and be sure to have some dinner. you'll be happier if you do.

Answer 8

Just enjoy this day, spend as much time together as possible, you will be so busy, don't get too caught up in "mingling" with EVERYONE.

Answer 9

My best advise:

Answer 10

Make sure that over the next 2 weeks you try and make time for just you and your fiance.  Time where you're not worrying about the wedding or doing any planning.

Remember that everyone is stressed out right now and it's normal to take it out on each other.  Don't take it personally.  Take a few minutes to take a deep breath and remind yourself that it's only one day.

Don't worry about the little things.  People won't notice and if they do, they won't care.

Take what happened to me for example.  I got married on July 19th.  We were having a backyard reception and purchased a few tents to cover the backyard.  It was a really hot and humid day, looked like it would rain off and on.  Thankfully, we managed to get through the pictures before it started pouring rain.  Even with the tents, we had problems.  We had water coming down between the 2 tents, the caterers had to change our whole seating plan so that no one would get wet while eating.  Most of our male guests went out into the rain to help fix it and to get rid of the water accumulating between the 2 tents.  They were all wet.  I was worried because now 50 people were crammed in our small house and in our garage.  But, I was really the only one who was worried and bothered.  Everyone was having a great time.

People are still telling me a month later that they had a great time.  Even though I was hoping it wasn't going to rain, the rain just created some greater memories.
