Time to get excited!

“

If you’ve already handled all of your photos before the ceremony, you have extra time to mingle with your guests — and to taste the cocktail hour food you paid so much money to serve. 

“

You have to do more than pick a photographer and DJ. You also have to pick out signage and linens and cake cutting songs. There are a million little decisions to make, which can be stressful AF.

“

You’re probably paying a photographer and videographer thousands of dollars to capture your wedding shots. You want those photos to capture your family and friends watching you walk down the aisle. You don’t want their phones to be blocking their faces, ruining the once-in-a-lifetime photos.

“

I will promise that I’ll remember this day forever, the day my person married the love of her life. Her McDreamy. I promise I’ll be smiling like a fool in all of your photos. I promise I’ll be by your side throughout it all.

Not doing a hair trial. I wound up with some weird Game of Thrones braids inspired mullet thing, and the curls fell out as soon as I left the hotel because it was super humid. I would have opted for something different.

“

Not having our grandmas as flower girls. We didn’t have anyone to be flower girls, and I didn’t think of asking grandmas until way after the wedding.

“

In my friend’s vows he was talking about her eyes which were blue and he called them green. 

“

Someone’s older aunt will attempt to dance like a stripper to Back That Azz Up. Just drink it away.

You should never let those feelings get in the way of your vision for your ceremony and your reception — you only get to do it once, after all.
