   Hey ladies! I am getting married next June and I was hoping to get some pointers from some verterans :-) What is the #1 tip you would like to give to brides that you wish someone had told you while planning your wedding?

   Tip # 1: Don't stress about small details - chances are, that you're the only one that will miss them. Tip # 2: Eat at your wedding - we spent $6,000 + on food, didn't eat a bite and ended up with me in my dress and a car full of presents at McDonalds after the wedding. We had a happy meal in our honeymoon suite the night…

   If at all possible, take at least a day or two in between your wedding and when you leave for your honeymoon. H and I are both teachers, and since we have summers off, we were able to wait an entire week between our wedding and our honeymoon. I strongly advise this. By waiting a week, we had time to get all of our gifts…

   Do not listen to those who tell you "You must have this for your wedding". The wedding industry, especially, will tell you this piece of kitch or that bit of fluff is absolutely necessary for a nice wedding. Even on the knot board, you will see tons of posts about programs and centerpieces and escort cards and STD cards…

   Surround yourself with people who love you and can calm you down and make you feel like yourself. I am a high anxiety person who stresses very easily. I woke up the morning of the wedding completely sick to my stomach to the point where I worried I had the flu because I was so anxious about everything going smoothly.…

   The only thing that went badly was the food. Have a food tasting if you have never eaten a meal from the caterer. Our food was horrid. . The chicken was so DRY. On top of the chicken was suppose to be sun dried tomatoes, feta, olives. It was all mush. The orzo was mush. The crabcakes seemed like they were from frozen. WTF?…

   Don't pack your schedule so full on the wedding day that you don't get time to ENJOY it yourself and take it all in.

   I wore 4 inch high heels. And my dress was hemmed for 4 inch high heels. During the reception, I took my heels off and switched to flip flops. Now all of the sudden my dress is dragging on the floor. My seamstress has told me to buy Rocketdog's (google them, they are horribly ugly platform flip fops.) She said that no one…

    Hey, if we're doing "small but important things you never would have thought of," I've got another one: practice sitting down in your dress! I never even thought about this, but I only ever tried it on standing up. Then, on my wedding day, when my photographer had me sit down for some pre-ceremony photos, I discovered that…
