There are many common mistakes weddings make. Take this advice and avoid frustration on your big day.
My friend Shaun and I have a spreadsheet listing every wedding we have attended, both together and separately. The current tally is 46 for me and 40 for him. There are 17 weddings we both went to.
To some, these are incredibly high numbers, and to others this is just normal when you grow up in a church or cultural community. Either way, it’s a lot of weddings and a lot of canapes.So with all that experience, here is my advice for couples about the things you should and should not do on your big day.
First of all, the legal stuff. Official wording, saying the vows, signing the form, getting the witnesses. They’re the only things youArrange your wedding to show what makes the two of you great as a couple. The best weddings showcase the personalities of the people involved. If you love tradition, go with it. If you don’t, make it about what makes your love special.you should have because that’s what other weddings have had.
Vet the speeches in case someone decides to embarrass the happy couple and make the wedding memorable for the wrong reasons.Get lovely video messages from people overseas, but don’t let them prattle on too long. Give them 20 to 30 seconds each, and make sure they’re speaking close to the microphone in a quiet spot inside a house .Overschedule the reception. Leave plenty of breathing space for people to relax into the party.
