Re: The Official 2007 "Already Married Brides" Advice ThreadPosted by brittny817 2. Don't get caught up in LI Weddings and what every other bride is doing. Don't get me wrong LOVE the site, many of the ladies on here and the great ideas that have been shared but don't feel pressured to spend the money or time on every flippin thing you see on here. Pick and choose. When I first started planning I HAD TO HAVE everything from slipper baskets, to petal cones, to WE DO letters...I started to feel overwhelmed and decided why bother? Not having any of those..lol

Re: The Official 2007 "Already Married Brides" Advice ThreadPosted by MJDoc12 4)Sneak away: Right after the ceremony, DH and I ran into the bridal suite by ourselves. I was DYING to get take my slip off cause I was tripping on it like crazy. So while we were in there laughing and everything, it was a nice moment for just him and I. Make sure you have some time, just the two of you.

Re: The Official 2007 "Already Married Brides" Advice ThreadPosted by LyseeH Don't expect a perfect wedding day. We had little things that vendors didn't do. For instance, the cake didn't have flowers on its tiers. BUT the cake itself was amazing. QUOTE] AMEN!!!!!!!!! Things will not ALL be perfect!!!! My flowers weren't as big as I expected them to be! My placecards were never delivered to FT, One of my groomsman had the wrong tux, We lost over 1 hr of photos at the Old Westbury Gardens, 2 of my BMS were late for the pics! All these things happened but at the end everyone had a great time and I got to marry the love of my life!!!!! XOXOXOXO Kitty | |||

Re: The Official 2007 "Already Married Brides" Advice ThreadPosted by melbalalala ..... DH and I snuck off to the bridal suite so that I could pee. He helped me get out of my dress and we had quite a giggle at my expense with half a dress and my "something blue" undies running to the bathroom. It was really nice!

Re: The Official 2007 "Already Married Brides" Advice ThreadPosted by PaddysGirl15 4.) Table Cameras + Children = pictures of children taking pictures of the other, taking a picture. We found this ouy the other day. Whatevs. Can't do anything about it now but if I noticed it then I would have regulated.  5.) A day after the wedding - I totally had PWD  you plan for so long for this day and then its over! BUt then I looked over and saw DH, and I realized that I have him forever! And that is the main thing, after the dress, the party, the cake, the flowers- its a MARRIAGE, and that is the most important thing!Good Luck to all the girls, I hope you all have BEAUTIFUL days!!!!!

Re: The Official 2007 "Already Married Brides" Advice ThreadPosted by MJDoc12 WOOHOOO!!!!!!! I'm a total old fart now! Advice to give you ladies: 1)Give up control-being brides I know the idea of letting it go and just relinquishing control is hard, but you MUST do it. There is an eerie calm that comes over you about the nite before the wedding and continues on when you are getting ready.....and its very nice if you let it just flow! Have trust that you have planned every single moment and that it will go just fine. 2)DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!: It is said over and over again, every single day, but I think people just forget it on the wedding day. But seriously, do NOT let things bother you that day. If there are like 5 roses missing from a CP or you found a small stain at the bottom of your dress that no one but you will notice...LET IT GO! The day goes by at lightning speed, and spending time focusing on things that just don't matter is time that you could be spending with your new husband. So if Aunt Sally shows up in some tacky outfit, just laugh it off and look at your husband and say "I love you." 3)Take it all in: Before the reception starts, ask to be taken into the room before the guests arrive and just take it in. We did this and I loved seeing each place setting all perfect, and all our hard work paying off. It was great just having him and I there and enjoying it all. 4)Sneak away: Right after the ceremony, DH and I ran into the bridal suite by ourselves. I was DYING to get take my slip off cause I was tripping on it like crazy. So while we were in there laughing and everything, it was a nice moment for just him and I. Make sure you have some time, just the two of you. 5)EAT!: Make sure you stuff some food into your mouth, otherwise, you'll be a sick bride! I made sure my fat azz ate plenty, but not so many brides think about it. 6)HAVE A 5 FT. RULE!: This is SO IMPORTANT. You and FH will have tons of family & friends who all want your time, but it's hard to see them all. So you'll be tempted to split up and handle your own guests separately. DO NOT DO THIS! If possible, hold each other's hands allllll nite at the reception, so you are always at each other's side. If this is too much, instill the "five foot rule", and make sure that you are within 5 ft. of each other at all times. That way when they might need you for a dance, or speech...no need to hunt for each other. It was funny cause anytime DH wasn't right next to me, I'd shout: "Where's my HUSBAND!?" And no matter what he was doing or talking to, he'd stop and say "My wife is calling me!" and he would come running! It was adorable. I'm sure I'll post more advice as I think of it! ETA: If you are marrying at the hall, do pics BEFORE: I know tradition is against me, but DH and I weren't marrying in a church, and therefore had no time gap. We saw each other beforehand and did 2 hrs of pics before the ceremony...and it was the best decision we ever made concerning the wedding. Our "reveal" moment was so wonderful and its one of the best parts of the day for us. We were calm and there were less tears during the ceremony! (I'm a crier!) But it was so much more calming for both of us, and I am so glad we did it.
