Re: My wedding was last weekend - here's my advice

I hope its okay but I would like to add some additional advice!

Be specific with your photographer about any shots you want! I LOOOVVVVEEEE my pictures but I am alittle sad that there are a few shots missing! If I could do it over I would have printed out a list of must have shots because the day of, its the LAST thing you are thinking about.

Plan in extra time for hair/make up! It always seems to take longer than expected!

Dont let anything stress you out ono yoru wedding day! One of my BMS who was supposed to be at my house at 9:30am got violently ill the night before and thank God made it but liek 2.5 hours late! Luckily, I was just like 'whatever' otherwise I would have been nuts.

2 days before make sure you have all your day of necessaities! The night before I couldnt find my headpiece and was up until 3 am looking for it!!! No GOOD!!!!

Dont stress if you dont get to talk to every person who attends! Try but if you dont, just remember its your day and as long as you enjoy it, everyone will understand! you are being pulled in so many directions its almost impossible to have quality converstaions with a room of 150+!

Take a moment and step back with your DH, and just look around because the whole night is over in the blink of an eye and all you ahve left are those memories!

Dont skimp on photos! Looking through my proofs was like reliving the night over and over! We didnt get a video which I do NOT regret, but I am glad that I am happy with my photos!

last but most important, DO NOT LISTEN TO THE WEATHER REPORT. I checked the weather report every day and it changed every day! If I listened to ch 7 it was one report, ch 5 something different etc! Needless to say it was a beautiful day and even if it had rained it would have been an amazing day!
