And so I wanted to throw her a little shower (with plenty of pink ) where people could share their best advice for making it through the wedding day, tips for happy married life (serious and not so) and generally get giddy about her big day!

I am sorry I don't have anything pink for you Vivi. I hope for you all the happiness this world can provide. As such my words of wisdom are real simple to say. The trick is living them. If you do a ton of stress will go away... Be here now. That's it.

Congratulations, Vi!!!

What Vail said is very good advice. I'll add: try not to worry anymore, from the minute the sun rises on your wedding day. You've planned all you can, and I'll tell you now - it won't be perfect...things'll happen...but in the end, it will be perfect, anyway. After all the aggravations and frustrations of trying to plan this thing, it is only one day. Really try to enjoy it to the fullest, because before you know it, it'll be over.

I know it will be truly epic, and that you will be the most radiantly happy and giggly bride, so just shine and bask in all that love.

And make sure someone takes lots of pictures. And send me one - pretty, pretty please? Because I so want to see your dress... (but I'll totally understand if you'd rather not!)

I don't have any tips for your marriage - if you've been together as long as you have, and still wanna get married, then you're doing it right. Don't let anyone tell you what marriage is or isn't, because everyone's is different, and vive les differences!

Well - one tip, because everyone told me this one, and it's so wrong, I think: do go to bed angry, sometimes. If an argument isn't getting anywhere, put it aside for the night and pick it up again in the morning, if it still seems worth it.

And happy married people do argue. The ones who don't are repressing an awful lot of resentments, in my opinion. It's healthy to argue - just don't go for the throat. The longer you love someone, the better you get at knowing what hurts them. Don't. Not to win a fight.

And-and-and - kiss, every day. With tongue.


Okay, that's all. I'm so truly happy for you! Lots of love.

Congratulations, gorgeous lady. My bit of advice follows the same line as Vail's. Delegate everything! Oh, and don't forget to actually eat the food you paid for. I can tell you, its very easy to get caught making sure that you talk to everyone. Screw everyone. Its your day, and they are just there to support and watch it happen. Eat your food. Dance constantly. And laugh. Laugh lots.

I know we don't know each other well given my newness, but hopefully that can be remedied.

Anyway, weddings are wonderful and yours is bound to be amazing! Biggest and best bits of advice I can offer as someone who has gone through this moment... wedding wise: take everything in stride and enjoy every moment. Don't let others dampen the moment for you. It is your day with the one you love and that is ultimately what matters. Everyone is there to celebrate you with you. It's your time to shine and share it with those you care about most. So, enjoy it. Don't get hung up on the tiniest details, roll with them instead. You'll be amazed at how fluid even the most chaotic thing can suddenly become when you take a breath and just look in the eyes of the one you love and forget everything else, letting it melt away. As for the rest: just enjoy each other and what being together has to offer--whatever it may be. Never take any part of it for granted and just let each other bloom. Together, you'll be a force to be reckoned with and no doubt happiness will be present.

That all said, congrats and best wishes.

Wow...this means two of my best friends are getting married this weekend...

Holy shit!

I wish I could be there for you Wifey, I thought I would drop in and shower you in thorns...not rose petals, yes thorns...cause I'm original like that

I am maid of honour at my bestie's wedding this Saturday and will be thinking of you, hoping I can be there in spirit...you know...blowing kisses and wiggling my naked ass in an attempt to make you laugh

Shackle frequently, cane daily and save the rope for the wedding night

Advice from a Minx never stinks hahaha

All my love darling!

So much this! Always kiss! Even if you're not super cuddly - which I definitely am not - it makes a big difference and cements that bond.

And laugh. Laugh lots.

Pretty Cat beat me to this one but I want to reiterate. Laughter loosens something. This has really made a difference for me.

But most of all, congratulations. My heart swells when I think of your wedding, at how much that happiness is deserved. Bask in it! It's your day! As hard as it is, at least for me, don't sweat the small stuff. Definitely delegate. And yes, eat the damn food! People will flock to you and they will wait if you want to sit and soak up the awesome that is your ceremony.

There's the stupid stuff, like go barefoot if your feet are screeching and don't worry if you start to flag after the hundredth well-wisher - take a break.

Most of all, I hope you smile. I hope you enjoy it. I know those things are sureties but I hope at the end of the day, your face feels exhausted from grinning because you saw a space in time that was there for nothing but celebrating the love that you and your partners share.

It'll be wonderful, and you will be beautiful. Have a kickass day.

Congratulations Vi!!

I'm sure this week is madness and the list is a mile long with never ending last minute tasks, but you must remember to breathe. Let go. Breathe.

It is written law that something no matter how small will not go quite as planned on your special day, but don't let it bother you. The best thing you can do is smile, relax and enjoy the day with the two you're joining your life with.

Best of wishes and may there be much happiness.

 

[Miss_Vivi]

Before I head off into the great unknown of wedding insanity, as things begin today...! Allow me to thank all of you sooo much!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
