I'm getting married Friday.....

[nofuture]

Any advice?

The last wedding I was at, the vicar addressed the congregation and gave the newlyweds the advice that the only way of having a successful and everlasting marriage was for the couple to say the Lord's Prayer together every day.

Have your bride walk down the aisle to "The Rite of Spring."  Everybody will remember that.

Don't write your speech the morning of the wedding.

Just relax and enjoy it as there will never be another event where you'll be half as popular. NEVER!

Hope you have a great day.

Dont look at the Wonderwoman animation on the Aquaman movie thread

Good luck!:)

Well, congratulations!

[Mike Carroll]

Congratulations, nofuture!

The best advice I can give: a wedding is not a marriage... It's just one day. The only thing that actually matters is that you both turn up and say "I do" at the right time! So just relax and enjoy the day!

Oh: and keep the after-dinner speeches short! A couple of years back my parents attended a wedding in which the best man was allowed to waffle on for an hour and fifteen minutes, which didn't go down well with anyone. Now, no one can remember anything else about that wedding...!

Have a great day!

nofuture - getting married. How apt.

[judge dreddd]

congrats and celebrations

advice,er, ensure best man can write a speech and if not that he gets one faxed from those ads in the back of private eye

Erm, go to Place of Worship/ Registry Office, stand at altar with significant other, recite vows, get on with life (Possibly take the time to reflect on the irony of a long term, lasting relationship, based on trust being started with a Legally binding contract and/ or a promise Before your GOD that you will never be unfaithful...)

Aaand, on the off chance that you're a character from a soap opera, have a fight, watch one of your best friends die tragically, ditch, reconcile with, ditch and reconcile with your Significant Other, start an affair with your Maid of Honour and or Best Man, go to Local Pub for the reception...

:: Any advice?

Enjoy yourself. Seriously. Lots of people getting married are so worried about what go wrong (and it's pretty much guaranteed that some things will, regardless of how meticulous the planning), they forget to notice what's going right. A wedding should be a fun day, but it's also probably the most money you'll ever splash out on a single event (unless you become staggeringly rich). Better to ensure you enjoy the entire day, rather than worrying that you got the wrong vegetables with your meal (or whatever).

And congrats!

[House of Usher]

Yes, that is heavily ironic there.

And, following what Indigo Prime said, there's no way on Earth I could do it. I'd probably ruin the day for myself by worrying the whole day long about getting my money's worth.

Anyway, my best advice is: enjoy yourself; have a wonderful day.

[Floyd-the-k]

that's a very general request there.  Ummm, have a great time at the wedding, do you best during the marriage. Oh and say the Lord's prayer together every day, it'll give you something to talk about at anniversaries

[skurvy]

I can give you some very specific advice here. I got married in Feb and on the whole it was a great day, the only thing that in retrospect I would have changed/done differently is the photography. I didn't really think about what sort of shots I might want taken on the day, and once the photographer started I just went along with what he suggested for group shots, family shots etc. It wasn't until a couple of days after that I realised I hadn't got a shot of just me and my friends, or one of just me and my brother/sister for instance and to be honest it really pissed me off (particularly as I'm a fecking art director and can happily organise photo shoots for all the crap clients we have!). So my advice is to think very carefully about any shots you might want, becasue if you don't get them on the day you'll never have the chance again. And make sure you get a shag no matter how pissed you both are.

Thank you one and all, I am quite used to saying the lord's prayer........backwards ;)
