Wedding day advice

My apologies for those sick of wedding news, but Saturday will make the third wedding we have attended in 3 weeks. If a wedding is in your near future, here is my list of things, in no particular order, not to worry about...not that these are all from personal experience.
  • If your maid of honor looks like a bag because her dress doesn't fit, it just makes the bride look better. If she breaks down in sobs, she can go cry in the corner.
  • If your grandmother breaks her ribs the night before your wedding, it's okay.
  • If your cake starts falling over, that's okay too.
  • If it rains, it's only water. No need to fret.
  • If your cousin or your sister need stitches because of a wedding injury, not to worry.
  • If someone is sewing wedding clothes a few hours before the wedding, that's normal.
  • If the best man doesn't know how to wear cuff links, no sweat. If he forgets his shoes, black socks and sandals look almost as good. Or maybe he can borrow some tennis shoes.
  • If your garter gets stuck in the tree, let the men jump for it.
  • If the 4-year-old decides she doesn't like the punch and dumps it back in the bowl, at least it's diluted.
  • If the bouquet gets flung into the neighbor's yard, just hope the dog won't get it.
  • If someone cannot drive because their dress is too restricting, they can change.
  • If the bride forgets her slip, send the fiance.
  • If a person of importance in the ceremony isn't informed she needs to help you, the guests can wait.
Any other tips?

  1. A few more:
    If the party next door exceeds acceptable decibel levels, just keep the door closed.

    If the wireless microphone starts picking up the party next door, enjoy the toasts along with them.
