How to Have the Best Wedding Day of Your Life
Weddings signify the beginning of a lifetime of happiness,
but for the bride and groom, may come with a great deal of stress. From last
minute planning to the anticipation of the future, the soon-to-be newlyweds
might not be feeling as carefree as you might think.
As everything comes together and you realize that you’ll
soon be dedicating your commitment and devotion for each other in front of an
audience of loving well-wishers, it’s important to make the actual affair as
stress-free as possible and one to remember.
Corinne is highly skilled as an officiant at creating stress-free wedding ceremonies and always recommends her attendance at the rehearsal! You'll learn exactly where to stand, what to say when, and become familiar with the flow of the ceremony!
The most important piece of advice for the best wedding day
of your life is just to relax. Because
Corinne is also a marriage and family therapist, she knows the top techniques for managing wedding day jitters! I know it might be easier said than done, but
when the last song plays and all the guests depart, you don’t want to regret
missing out because you were too absorbed in all the tiny mishaps along the
way.
So here’s a list of all the things that potentially could go
wrong on your wedding day (and yes, some of these WILL happen), and a game plan
to keep you cool, calm and collected all the way through.
1.
You wake up to find that the previous week’s
facial did NOTHING for the fresh new pimple that appeared out of nowhere. Don’t
freak out. Makeup does wonders these days, and the fabulous dress that you
bought will detract from the tiny flaw on your face. Also, photoshop is AMAZING
and your pictures will be none the wiser.
2.
That slight chance of rain forecast turned into highly
likelihood of rain, and your wedding’s outside. Did you know that rain on your
wedding day is a sign of fertility? Old wives tale? I think not! Count it as a
blessing and instruct your maid of honor to call the venue and put their plan B
into action. First of all, that’s your maid’s job (they don’t call them maid’s
for nothing!) and second of all, you don’t have time to be dealing or worrying
about that stuff.
3.
Your altered wedding dress isn’t fitting quite
as right as it did in the store when you went for your last fitting. If it’s
too snug, tell your maid to get you a girdle at the nearest clothing store. If
it’s too loose, put your wedding party to work with those clothespins. Trust
me, your dress WILL fit and it WILL look fabulous.
4.
You’re late to your own wedding because you were
getting pampered to look amazing. Don’t apologize! Nobody will be starting
without you, and wasn’t it Audrey Hepburn that said, “Fashionably late is the
ONLY way to go?”
5.
You’re at the alter with the love of your life,
hand-in-hand, and you forget your vows. Don’t panic. I promise you that whatever
comes out of your mouth- whether it’s a river of tears or nothing pronounceable-
will still make every guest think it’s the most romantic thing they’ve ever
heard. So just say what comes to mind and don’t sweat it.
6.
You did it! You said I do! And now all you want
is to have a drink with your new spouse and eat (because you just realized how
ravishingly hungry you are due to not eating a morsel of food all day). But you
still have pictures to get through. Tell a bridesmaid to meet up with you while
they scour the hors d’oeuvres section and bring some glasses of champagne back for
you and your honey. Make the photographs fun!
7.
Some of your guests are already sloshed and
making their speeches embarrassingly long and boring to say the least. Ding
your champagne glass loudly and politely say thanks while moving on to the next
speech. You want to get this dance party started!
8.
The deejay is playing every song you warned them
NOT to play, and the Macarena is making you want to scream. Stop and look
around. You might not love the jam, but just about every one of your guests is
on the dance floor. Live it up with them and learn the dance, even if it’s the
last time you will ever partake. You’ll be the star on the dance floor, so live
it up.
9.
You throw the bouquet to a married gal who
didn’t get the “single ladies only” memo. It’s ok, because that one IS an old
wives tale.
10. The
night comes to a close with all the guests saying their goodbyes, and you
realize you weren’t able to get to every guest throughout the night. Mention it
in the thank you cards, and be overly gracious about their attendance. Trust
me, they’ll understand and won’t hold it against you.
Here’s one last thing to remember. As you depart as a newly
married couple, just remember that it was all worth it. Because even if you
do end up sweating the small stuff, you’ll still look back and say that it was
the best day of your life. It will be one of the most beautiful memories that
you’ll have with your partner and you’ll talk about it for years to come. Revel
in it, relax, take things in stride and enjoy every single minute. Because
those minutes will feel like nanoseconds in comparison.
