Everyone wants their wedding day to be perfect. But there are tons of things that can go wrong that you might not expect, so please learn from those who have gone before you!
Here are 18 absolutely CRUCIAL tips if you want to avoid disaster:
1) Avoid being engulfed by ocean waves. No one likes a wedding in which the couple drowns.
2) Have a SYSTEM in place for the safe delivery of the rings. (The pastor fumbles the rings into the lake – problems near water is going to be a theme.)
3) Brides, keep track of that long veil.
4) Life isn’t a Disney movie: wild animals will attack you. (Again, problems when you’re near water.)
5) Really focus when it comes time for communion.
6) Brides, give your friends ample warning before throwing your bouquet.
7) Wedding cakes should be moved SLOWLY and CAREFULLY.
8) Use handrails when descending staircases.
9) Grooms, wear a hockey mask if you get lightheaded easily.
10) You really should just STAY AWAY from water.
11) Remember that young children are unpredictable.
12) Beware of clumsy groomsmen. (And water!)
13) Remember that a loose veil plus a strong wind can add some comedy to your ceremony.
14) There really should be a designated fainting-male catcher at your wedding.
15) If you must have a windmill at your wedding, have safety measures in place to protect drunken groomsmen.
16) Communication is not only important for a successful marriage, it’s also important for a safe wedding.
17) If you have a wedding dance, it must be highly choreographed and practiced for SAFETY.
18) When it comes to your first kiss as a married couple, brevity is a virtue.
Got all that? Now don’t forget to enjoy the special day!
