The fabled wedding day is finally here; months if not years of planning have all boiled down to this final moment. Last night’s rehearsal went well, but with the addition of all the guests could things change, will the vendors be there when they need to, will…
Everyone knows that weddings can be stressful; especially with all the what ifs. Which is why we usually tell our couples two pieces of advice on the morning of their wedding.
The day your wedding takes place is 24 hours long, but it is going to feel like only five hours. So often we hear from couples that the day went by so fast, and they just don’t really remember certain things because they were caught up with something else. “Take time to stop and smell the roses.” Often this is one of the most important pieces of advice we give. Things on the day will literally fly by and if you don’t take the time to notice them, especially after all the time spent getting all the details ready, then you might even forget they happened.
Today is your day; enjoy it. Every guest is arriving to see the marriage between you and your spouse. For the day, both you and your spouse are the center of attention.
Jokes you say will be twice as funny, people you haven’t seen in months will miss you twice as much, and it’s a day you can do no wrong. We have seen many weddings where the groom decided to come clean on a family matter such as news of the family car they drove into the swamp back in high school, and that’s the real reason it smelled funny that summer.
So, however you choose to spend your wedding day, remember to enjoy it, as it will likely be the talk of the town for quite a while, and the talk of your family for years to come.
