after going to a family wedding i found out there is no way you wont be an emotional wreck, i know my man's cousin was throwing up all week until the day of the wedding she was cool after a drink

I got married last Saturday, the week before was pure hell. I havent gotten the pics back yet, but i know i look like i'm about to cry in all the ones they took before the wedding. I was bitchy and everything seemed to go wrong. My family didnt think i wanted to go thru with it, which was not the case. But as soon as I saw him down the isle, everything was ok. A huge load was lifted off my shoulders, and i was able so smile w/o someone yelling at me to. It'll be okay.

The only advice I can offer is expect everything to go wrong!


I'm not saying that to be mean...just realistic! The worst thing in the world is a pissed off bride!!

Just relax, have fun, and when something goes wrong...laugh your ass off!!! You only get to do this once! Don't go through it in a pissy mood!

We forgot the corkscrew at my wedding!!! So I travelled around from table to table with a knife pushing the corks into the bottles!!!!!

Thanks, I'm starting to not worry so much, but i think that that's more because its friday and i get to drink loads later...

one problem, it's his stag (bachelor) party tomorrow, and i can just see him being on the train to edinburgh, handcuffed there by his lovely friends...

Woo hoo! flat to myself for a week!

Are you really prepared to share your soul with this other for the rest of your days on earth? Are you going to the ceremony to please other people's expectations, or are you going there to cement the commitment of your love for the other? What is there to be nervous about? Things will not go as expected, so what? Those will be the stories you'll tell your friends, and eventually your offspring.

*True Story* I flew back from military training to get married, I wore my one good uniform, my Brother was my best man (He wore red, white, and blue leather shoes, and a brushed blue suede suit with a crimson red crushed velvet tie!) I tripped going to the isle, her garter slid down her leg while going to the altar. We ate like horses at the reception, drove to our ocean honeymooner's suite, got drunk, and both of us passed out!

**I dare you to top that!! Go and have the best time of your life, enjoy the f**k ups, take it in stride, and let us know how it went. (You can include honeymoon details!)

EDINBURGH??

Hey M.A.!
If you're talking about Scotland, ever been to the Nairn area? My family hails from there, got the land and titles from Robert the Bruce after the battle of Bannockburn. I'm not giving pinpoint locations so I keep my last name to myself. Best of luck to you. Either your for us.....or a Guiness!

Good advice

dont get pissed and shag the best man

dont let hubbie get pissed and shag the bridesmaid

do get pissed and be the last leave the party

ban any speeches over 5 mins long

and remember this old Japanese proverb -

men are like floor tiles - lay them properly the first time and then they will be with you forever..... or words to that affect.

Kick him and run!

 

[madelaine angel]

thanks voosla / pamela, that advice was very sweet and made me feel a lot better!

Lost cause, I live in Brighton in England so him being sent to edinburgh is a big deal! I do want to join my soul with his for eternity, we've had a few traumas this week, (HIS MUM) naming no names, but im sure all will be fine.

Ok, Ill kick him and run. AFTER ive got the pressies...
