Wedding Dress & Wedding Party - Your wedding day is supposed to be the best day of your life. Yet, many brides, more so than grooms will suffer great anxiety until they finally go to bed that night; that is, if they can sleep. Here are some things to consider so that you can enjoy your wedding day.
1. There’s no such thing as a perfect wedding day. There’s always going to be something that’s not going to go right; that’s just the nature of life. If you remember that, then you’ll be able to roll with whatever comes up.
2. Have a sense of humor about the day. One wedding I went to had the reverend have the couple getting married facing the wrong way. At another one, a young child kept answering every question the priest was asking the couple being married. There are things you just can’t control, and anything you can’t control, don’t worry about it,
3. Make sure you’ve put together your wedding party properly. It’s not only the best man and maid of honor you need to think about, but the other members of the wedding party and how best they match up with each other. Don’t force two people who don’t like each other to be with each other throughout the wedding day. Don’t pick a child who might be too young to understand their role in the wedding ceremony because they might not be able to fulfill their duties. Use good judgment up front and you won’t have to worry about any of these things on your wedding day.
4. Make sure there will be good air circulation in the room where you’re getting married. I’ve seen many brides, and every once in awhile other members of the bridal party, pass out and collapse under the heat and stress of the day. If it’s going to be a hot day make sure there are fans available for the wedding couple and wedding party.
5. Don’t add too many things to the ceremony that involve participation from you that you may not be ready for. This includes singing a song during the ceremony or reading your vows in public. If it’s something you’re not ready for, or you get nervous in front of crowds, don’t do it.
6. Speaking of being nervous in front of crowds, remember that all eyes are going to be on your during the ceremony. It’s your special day. You’re going to look great, be dressed great, and no matter how long or short the ceremony is, hopefully you’ll make it to the end when the person marrying you says “you are now man and wife; you may kiss the bride.” That’s what the day is all about.
