How can you plan ahead so that you enjoy and cherish your big day? Ideas range from the practical (plan ahead, delegate), to the philosophical (relax, remember what really matters). Ready? Take a deep breath and check out our game plan to help you through the big day.
Here are seven basic guidelines to help you enjoy your wedding day.
1. Plan ahead. What actually occurs on your wedding day has everything to do with the planning that preceded it and the personalities of those involved. Do everything possible to avoid the pressure of handling details on your wedding day.
2. Create a schedule. Plot the day to the minute, if this reflects your attitude about details -- make it more relaxed if that's who you are.
3. Delegate. Leave your notebook at home. Give necessary details to someone you trust. Both brides and bridegrooms agree that they were not in any state of mind to handle logistics on their wedding day.
4. Trust your service providers. You hired individuals you like and respect. Let them do their work.
5. Do not listen to criticism. A friend who tells you she hates your flowers or music might merit reconsideration as a friend.
6. Do not, under any circumstances, watch your caterer or florist set up. This process is not for the faint-hearted.
7. Take a deep breath and relax. Look around and take mental photographs. Remind yourself what this is all about: Your choice of the man you have chosen to spend the rest of your life with. Enjoy.
