Too many people put to much importance on the wedding day and don’t give much thought to the many days after or the rest of their lives together. This article can help you to keep things in perspective and to remember that the wedding is just the first of many days of a lifetime together.
Practice your walk down the aisle many times on the days leading up to the wedding. This needs to be done where the wedding is going to be held so that you’re familiar with the specific area and flooring as well as how your shoes react. This allows you to have confidence in every step on the big day.
Dancing is going to be a very significant part of your wedding, and all eyes will be upon you! Plan to take several dance classes with your partner and impress all of the guests at the wedding. Learn to dance to slow and fast songs so that you can be as prepared and have fun when the moment arrives.
Bring a pair of fold-up flats with you to a wedding so you can dance the night away without destroying your feet. The worst thing to have on your honeymoon is sore feet, so take care of them! Book yourself for a pedicure just before you leave on your trip and include waxing to make sure you’ll look super hot in your bikini!
The best photographs are candid, so try to have as many unposed photographs taken as possible. My favorite wedding shots are from my reception where guests, and myself and the groom, are laughing and having a great time. These are the memories you want to have for the rest of your married life!
Do not settle for the first wedding location you find–shop around. A wedding is a once in a lifetime experience that you want to make sure is perfect. Picking the wrong venue could be the difference between having the wedding of your dreams or having the wedding of your nightmares.
When inviting parents to your wedding, consider what time it will be held if they’re planning on bringing their kids. A night-time wedding with a reception that runs into the wee hours of the morning will not work well for children, so either move your ceremony to an earlier time or provide accommodation for children to have a nap during the reception.
Instead of having rice thrown at your wedding, you may want to consider getting confetti instead. Rice is messy and can get caught in undesirable places on your body. Also, rice is more expensive and more difficult to clean up. You can buy confetti at any discount or party store.
Look at suits for the men in the wedding as opposed to tuxedos. Suits can very easily fill the role of a tuxedo with the right accoutrements. You will find that not only will these be cheaper to rent than a tux, in some cases, purchasing the suits can be cheaper than a tuxedo rental.
Stick together as much as possible during your day. This wedding is about the two of you joining your lives together. Do not let the pressure of trying to spend time with everyone at the gathering keep you apart. Relax, go with the flow and walk amongst your guests together as a couple and enjoy each other as much as you can in your special moment.
As put forth in the beginning of the article, the importance of the wedding day is that it is the first day of the rest of your lives together. Don’t get too wrapped up in just that one day. By following the advice in this article, you can keep things in perspective for your wedding and your happily ever after.
