Please do not answer something like "don't get married--they all end up in divorce" or something like that. I love this girl and will be with her forever. I was just hoping for some tips on what to get done, what I can do for her and for me in the final week! Thanks for your responses!

Make sure you have a nice gift for your bride for her to open on your special day.

You might surprise her with a spa day two days before the wedding. Call today and get a reservation with a local spa. Get her a massage and foot massage and maybe a scalp massage. Don't get any sort of body wrap or facial. Just in case something in it makes her break out so close to the wedding. You might have to call in to her work (if she works) to get her the day off to enjoy this. Most employers will likely go along with that.
The other thing you might do is arrange with her mother or maid/matron of honor to decorate the room she'll be changing in. You can put special touches, maybe with flowers, or streamers or something. And get her a little gift. A necklace she can wear with her dress or a pair of earrings. It doesn't have to be expensive, the idea of you giving her a gift, even if not in person, will blow her away. My husband did that for me.
Other then that, do whatever she asks you to do. Help keep her calm and focused and try to help her not freak out (which is easy to do the week before the wedding) She may say she doesn't need any help and that might be true, but still be there for her. (Also talk to the MIL or MOH to see if there is anything they need you to do. Answer will still probably be no, but always good to check)

Please, don't have a bachelor party the day before the wedding, plan it a week before hand or a few days before the wedding. You will embarrass yourself and your bride infront of all of your friends and relatives if you appear drunk, hung over, or sick.
Remain faithful to your fiancee and don't try to hook up with and ex-girfriend or flame before the wedding. Big no-no... don't act under peer pressure to do naughty things with strangers.
Have fun at your bachelor party but be honorable and don't take any pictures, as they might surface later.
Suprise her on the morning of the wedding day with a special gift from you, you might send flowers, chocolates, a teddy bear or just breakfast and a note saying that you cannot wait any longer for her to become your wife.
Get a nice profesional haircut and shave clean.
Make sure that the alterations to the tux are done in a timely manner..
Don't forget the rings.
Pay your bills before going to the honeymoon.
be romantic on your wedding night and make it very special. Cover the bed with rose petals and have chanpagne and strawberries delivered to your room.
I hope this helps. Congratulations and good luck

See that your future bride gets enough rest. So many brides leave too many tasks until the last week and then run themselves to death in the final days. See if there is anything she needs done that YOU can do (picking someone up from the airport, delivering the favors to the hall, ect). Be prepared for her to be a little short on patience this last week. You may see more of her temper as last minute nerves hit. Just remember-things will be back to normal soon. Enjoy your wedding day, it goes by so fast you won't believe it.

Just remember she will be stressed out, if you need to talk with her about something important with the wedding, take her aside and talk calmly. Be there for her and comfort her. Being married is great (got married 3 weeks ago, still fresh). Just relax and everything will go smoothly, if something goes wrong it will be okay. My train didn't even get put down on my dress (one of my favorite parts of the dress) but I just let it go and went with the flow. I didn't want to be all stressed out and nervous. (I was a little but more excited) this is a big day for both, after the wedding try to relax, we were really tired. Also, it goes by really fast. Good luck this last week, and CONGRATULATIONS!!

Congrats and stay far away from people that say negative things like that. Ask your bride to be if she needs any help such as making sure the plans are finalized for the DJ, the hall, cake, etc. she will appreciate it. God Bless You and Your Bride to Be. When you say I Do, then all of the hard work has paid off.
Just have fun, I got married last year and boy that was so much fun!

The 2 of you need to be extra sensitive to each others feelings this week. You're both bound to be a bit nervous about the big step you're about to take. If you haven't already made a list of final preparations, make one. Each time you check something off the list you'll both feel better.
Pay attention to the vows you make to her on your wedding day and keep them all. A husband needs to help keep the lines of communication open, be honest, loving, kind, tender, considerate and responsible. And she should do the same. I pray you have a long and happy marriage! God bless!

I say do what you have been doing... I believe that alot of marriages and relationships fold and fall apart due to the relationship getting old. You may grow older together.. but don't get old together. Make sense?? Keep your relationship new.. try different things, dinner, cooking together... what ever the case may be. i think you are just getting cold feet. Obviously you love this woman, the best thing you can do for her is to make her happy, to be honest with her, talk to her, confide in her, listen to her.. above all, respect, love and honor her. She is your wife, the love of your life... treat her and the relationship like this is the last day of your lives.. and enjoy each other...
Peace, Blessings and Congratulations!

Be understanding. The last week is really stressful and busy for the bride. Offer to do things for her, cook her dinner or take her out to dinner, if you guys live together, help her with household chores. Most of all, be ready to have fun on your wedding day. And enjoy every second of it, it goes by soo fast. And tell your bride to enjoy it, too. I was so nervous walking down the aisle that I don't remember it. Just enjoy! And good luck!

Delegate, have someone go over final details and confirm with vendors etc. Plan a day at the spa with your fiancee so you both can relax. Send her a card or some flowers just to let her know how much you love her, that you are thinking of her, and how you can wait to spend the rest of your life with her.

Just try to relax, and know that just because you are getting married, there will not be some quantum change. Its you and her, and your love. . . You are getting married for yourselves, and no one else. If there are mishaps with the wedding plans, or everything is not according to plan, just remember that it doesnt have to be perfect. Its a day of you both sharing your love with your family and friends. Congratulations.
