Additional Answers & Advice:
1. Your wedding is a huge day and is very busy. You will get by on adrenaline if you don't sleep, but you need to eat during the day. It is sad when a bride or groom bonks at a point during the day because they haven't eaten.

2. Think about doing your first dance right after getting introduced. This gets the party started right away, gets one of the events out of the way and opens up the dance floor to any guests that would like to dance.

3. Hair & makeup generally take longer than expected...plan for it to go long.

4. For group formal pictures after the ceremony prepare a list of must have shots and make sure family knows to stay for them. It will be a lot more organized and go a lot faster if you plan ahead.

5. Most IMPORTANT....It's YOUR wedding. ENJOY IT. Take a few moments througout the day to breathe it in and absorb how wonderful it is.
