It also means that there are likely to be a few stress-heads around in the run up to your Big Day, as you find out that Aunt Betty can’t do the flowers after all, Mary IS coming (despite not returning the RSVP), you’ve changed the table plan 8 times, and horror of horrors – the venue has double booked (yes this has happened.)
Is someone trying to tell you something?!
An American tradition that is starting to pique our interest here in the UK is the ‘first look.’ This is where the bride and groom choose to see each other for a short moment before the ceremony. This is a break from tradition as we know it and it might not appeal to you at all – and that’s fine – but what it can do is calm your nerves by seeing the one person that means the world to you; it allows you some private time before the merry-go-round starts. It means that you can take time out to say each other, “OMG we’re getting married and I love you.”
If you don’t want to spoil the surprise – you could stand on either side of a door that is ajar and touch hands…
