You know, de-stressers, tips to keep my make-up on, things to do or say to people...that sort of thing. I'd appreciate whatever I can get. Thanks and wish us luck!

Listen to the song "She's everything" by Brad Paisley. That might cheer you up :)

Have fun and don't sweat the small stuff. You love each other and that's all that matters.
Make sure you say hello to your family after the meal has been served at the reception, but don't feel as though you need to "visit" with everyone. Say hello, thank you, snap a picture, and move along.
Keep things light. My bridesmaids and I shopped for a little while before our hair appointments, took lots of goofy pictures, and blasted "White Wedding" from the car. We had a great time in the limo too.
Don't drink too much. You'll need your strength.
Give the DJ or band a list of your favorite songs to play. Dance dance dance!
Good luck!

Dont get married on an empty stomach. Honestly, this is such a huge mistake that brides make. Dont eat a huge meal, but be sure to have something in your belly (a sandwich you can eat during your hair appt), this will quell alot of queasyness that many brides attribute to nerves. Its not nerves, its that you are hungry and your body is tense all over thus working over time, eat something!
Also, eat at your reception. Sit down and eat. That is the biggest complaint from brides. They never sit down and eat their food, thus they are asking "how was the food" AND you will be starving at 1 AM and need room service or a pizza delivery.
Sorry to say you wont remember anything about the day and it will get worse as the years go on. 8 years later people will pull up tidbits about our wedding and I look at my husband and ask if it really happened.
Also, come to terms with the fact that something will go wrong. If you accept that everything will not go as you expect, it will be easier to breeze past it when it does happen.
Stay cool! Best of luck!!!

Call your vendors today if you haven't yet. Make sure you're all on 'the same page'.
Eat something when you get up that morning whether you feel like it or not. You don't want to pass out; don't lock your knees. Keep hydrated, no caffine. Pee before you put on your dress. Breathe deeply. Take a look at yourself when you're ready so that you can walk down the aisle with confidence. You want the dress to be what's behind you, not a string of toilet paper. :)
Don't be nervous. If you have the things you wanted, on your list of things to do, all checked off, relax.
Trust me, once you get to the front of the church, EVERYTHING fades into the background, and all you see is your fiance & the minister. Focus on that fact; that you are becoming married to the most wonderful person that you love.
Much happiness to you both.

If I did that I would be denying you part of the experience of marriage. You are supposed to get the jitters and so is he. And if he don't? Good. That may help you.
BUT - let me leave you with this word of advice that is so ignored it explains a good many divorces. "Take your wedding vows seriously and not as just something you say" -AND- make sure he understands this as well. To many couples assume these vows are just words you say, and its okay if its written beautifully. A very major mistake. Those words are the most important you will say in your entire life.
A Vow is more strict than any other promise a human being can make.
Once you have done this - You have my blessings (not that you need it) and 100% well wishes for a great future!

A lot of people feel kind of sad right after the wedding (not just me thinking this, Cosmo did an article about it this month!) because the big hoopla is over. Just focus on WHY you're getting married, and all the things you love about everyone.
Oh, and remember to send thank-you cards within six months, and WRITE DOWN AND KEEP TRACK of who sent you what. Mention specificially what they gave you in the thank-you card because it's more genuine that way.
Good luck!
P.S. Double-sided tape works wonders for dress problems.

It's just a ceremony. A year down the road you'll think it was dumb to have worried. It's not about the wedding, it's about the marriage. I eloped, got married on a beach. I actually had about three beers before hand, talked on the phone and hung out on the balcony watching the ocean. Almost said- screw the ceremony, but that's why we were there. It's about being with the person you love for the rest of your lives. And, if you're worried about what people in attendance will thing- don't sweat that either... most people are their because you asked them, not to critique. Good luck for a wonderful life together!

Think about the things going on that day in block periods, for example don't think about walking down the aisle until 10 minutes before. Stay in the moment, in other words. Keep smiling. Greet all of your guests, and say thank you when some one compliments what a beautiful bride you are. As far as keeping make up on - waterproof as much as possible and keep retouching powder and lipstick - you'll stay looking fresh. Good luck! Enjoy yourself. Don't forget to dance. Don't forget to eat!

I really have no advice for you but enjoy the day!! Things are bound to go wrong, but in all reality you get to that day and nothing else matters but the union that is taking place!! And I'm being completely honest with you!! My bridesmaids, sisters, were too hung over the morning of my wedding so I had to do everything myself including walking my dog, helping the florist set up, getting the photographer where she needed to be!! But everything was perfect and looking back I wouldn't change a thing!! I had so much fun with my husband and in reality, that is absolutely all that matters!! So enjoy yourself and don't sweat the small stuff!! :-)
Good luck!!!

My advice is to enjoy your day it goes by so fast. Take time to stop and really look around and enjoy yourself. Make sure you eat something there is nothing worse to watch on your wedding video than you passing out because you haven't eaten all day. Don't sweat the small stuff little things are going to happen just remember the big picture that you are marrying the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with.
Good Luck!!!!!

Just remeber that you and him are happy and after Saturday you will be husband and wife. That should make you happy and don't stress over it when it's over it'll be worth it and you'll be wondering why you were stressed out to begin with. I do wish you and your man all the happiness and luck in the world. Make sure this is what you want and as long as your ready to be married then it shouldn't be stressful it should be a happy day for you two.
