From the 06'ers to the 07'ers

Wow...that just made my eyes water....I am such a crack head...Thank you

thank you!! i've been trying to enjoy each moment.
time goes by so fast!

my advice, Don't sweat the small stuff. When all is said and done, the wedding is just one day in your new life. Focus more on the marriage and less on the wedding

Enjoy every minute. I swear it felt like as soon as we were introduced, it was almost last dance time. It FLIES by.

Thank you so much

thank you so much. you just gave me the chills...

Your days will be here before you know it!

It was the most magical day ever, I can't describe it. It was better than I ever imagined. I sat there at points and just looked around the room.

I thought I'd be sad when it was over but, I have these awesome memories of a fabulous day! It feels so amazing too when everyone tells you how much fun they had, which to me, is the most important thing!

Definitely don't sweat the small stuff! Things are bound not to go 100% to plan. Most people aren't going to notice.

thank you for such heartfelt advice,

Yes, I agree on 'dont' sweat the small stuff,' especially if it's something that 'can't' be fixed by that point.

But on the flip side, if you see something happening that you're not satisfied with, and something CAN be done about it:

SPEAK UP LOUD AND CLEAR IMMEDIATELY.

Sometimes people don't know what you want until you tell them a million and one times, even though you think it's crystal clear.

I got a substantial discount from a vendor because I spoke up in the moment, rather than waiting til afterward to complain.

I know the marriage is the important part BUT we are paying a lot of bucks for these services and those vendors don't deserve to skate on what they promised us.

Other than that, one of the best things I did was to take my time before I started walking down the aisle (I actually told Dad not to start walking yet when he thought we should start) so that I could look around at everyone who came to church and take it all in. I made eye contact and smiled at as many people as possible on my walk, even mouthing 'Hi Mo! Hi Aunt Ro!' etc. with tears in my eyes and it was the most glorious feeling to do that and then end with meeting up with DH on altar.

I was SO overwhelmed with love and joy on that walk down the aisle. I'll treasure that feeling always.

I'm getting teary-eyed just thinking about it.

thanks, that was so sweet!

Thank you

Thank you!
this is so very thoughtful!

This is a great post!

My advice:

1. EAT EAT EAT the week before your wedding... you don't realize it but it's so easy to lose weight that week. My dress was a little big on me the day of, esp after being in it for 10 hours! I wish it was more snug.

2. Get a video... we are obsessed... still.

3. Take a minute with your new hubby to just look around at your reception and take it all in. We did that twice during our reception and it was amazing to see all our guests laughing and having a great time at OUR wedding.

I know I have a lot more, but I can't think.

Congrats to everyone!!!

we are here for you.. Gosh i remember in dec of 05 thinking my wedding was never going to come and wow, look im married almost 6 months. it is crazy how fast time flies.
