That's the one thing I've learned about weddings from all the weddings my friends have had. When it's all said and done and the day has finally arrived, the only thing to do is let go and be sure to enjoy every moment. It's too easy to stress about the little shit. Let everyone else take care of the little shit.
Your honeymoon sounds perfect, Gump. Congratulations!

A year later I remember it as a super fun, 4-day party and I have blocked out all the trauma & horror of it. That trip sounds amazing, have a great adventure.

Sounds like you have the right frame of mind. Enjoy your day! But don't have sex with any aliens between now and then, because that might be a wedding day dealbreaker.

Lots of happy wishes on your impending wedding, Gump! And be sure to post pictures of the sex with the alien thing! That'll be cool! :-)

the best advice i've heard given to the happy couple before the big day is that to "remember, the wedding day is not for you, it's for everyone else." if you can get that and agree with it, then it takes the stress off the day... you don't have to worry about making sure everything goes the way you planned, you can let everyone else take care of things to make it a day they enjoy. and you get to relax at a party thrown for you instead of by you.

I'm so excited for you both. I'm also wondering how youre going to get through all that time without being a girl elf.

THIS is why I didn't have a wedding... just a few people and a cake. I'm sure it'll be great though!

You know what your right, so the moment you guys wake up on your wedding day just go with the flow, in the end its not really the party that matters its the reason for the party.
Relax, have fun and enjoy.

On the day G, your only job is to turn up sober and be amazed this incredible woman wants to marry you. Everyone else can can just fade away.

I was a wreck by the day before--overwhelmed, pissed off at practically everyone, worried that things weren't going to go as planned. Then a funny thing happened on the way to the rehearsal--I looked at Kirk and realized that no matter what happened in the next 24 hours, the end result would be that we were married. From that point on, I had a blast. Even when my niece, one of the bridesmaids, declared that "this is stupid and I'm not going to do it." Even when, on the morning of our planned outdoor ceremony, I woke to sheets of rain and no break in the forecast. Even when the weather delayed the minister's arrival. Didn't matter. ANd now, four years later, I can still tell you that it didn't matter. We had a wonderful time. The small things that went wrong didn't detract from that. Besides, that's why you have a wedding party. Hand over the responsibility and concentrate on dancing around the wedding dress. Oh, and say hello to the deejays for me!

Trust the work and planning that you put into the day and let everything fall into place.
If something does go wrong, don't act upset, the guests take their vibe from the Bride and Groom. If the Bride acts upset because the wrong song was played for your first dance, then the guests will feel bad/uncomfortable for her, but if she laughs when the DJ accidentally plays "I Want Your Sex" for her dance with her father, then everyone else will know its OK and will resume having fun.
BTW, here's some advice that was given to me for the morning of the wedding day that really helped. Women almost always stress out over the day more than the guys. A day�or even the week�before, arrange to have some flowers sent to her with a little note attached telling her how much you look forward to being married to her�or something to that effect. It will help calm her frenzied morning down and take her mind of the million little things she might normally worry about.

Don't forget to eat, Tina. You fat lard! (No really, I mean, it's very important to eat the food. Make the time to enjoy it.) - Acorn

I am all too aware of the planning nightmare and expense, thanks to my friends and their weddings. For me (and the siblings), we are going to use our parents' timeshare resort in Cancun, Moon Palace, for all of our weddings. That way, all the entertainment and meals are taken care of, and all we have to do is walk down the "aisle" on the beach and say "I do."
