Its 10 days away guys.. Lets talk about it. Any wedding day or night :fatty: advice?
-
have a snack bag ready for the day with non-messy snacks like pretzels and raisins and junk. you might get hungry waiting around.
-
Don't stress
-
dance a lot. including with the little kids. assuming you are having a dance.
-
chicken dance is a mandatory jam
-
take a xanax before the photographer starts because you're going to get pissed standing there for like a hundred hours looking at the camera
-
Are you wearing a rented tux? If so purchase some insoles for the shoes so you can be comfortable during the chicken dance etc.
-
surprise her with a wedding gift from you during the honeymoon, maybe on the flight. also fly first class obv.
-
drink a lot but not a lot a lot.
-
make sure to thank everyone personally during the wedding reception/dance for coming to your event. don't leave anyone out including +1s.
-
dunno if its too late but at the reception, dudes walking here and there with trays of apps are a nice touch. I always enjoy that.
-
be prepared to ease the tensions of the bride if your groomsmen and bros are being a buncha hound dogs. it's what they do babe.
-
starting to think best advice is to hire SD as your wedding coordinator
-
if she smashes some cake into your face when you are cutting it don't blast her full on with cake back. she will get sad because her makeup will get messed up. just act super surprised and like ham it up for the camera and then plant a cake'y smooch on her. the crowd will go nuts and her makeup won't be very messed up.

-
Hire a local hero to show up halfway through the reception, dance his ass off for two songs, and then mooch off your open bar for the rest of the night.
-
Relax and enjoy it. If Blumpkin still posted here, he'd probably give you some sex council/advice. The others have all been pretty accurate with their comments. I would tell your wife that some things will be out of her control and that if something goes wrong don't sweat it. The thing that went wrong will end up being what makes your wedding memories funny in the future.
Gonna win 'em all!
-
You guys are really good at getting married.
-
Have fun....and crush some drinks.
-
At a wedding last weekend in Colby there happened to be a professional dance team staying at the hotel. They were invited to the dance and dance offs with the groomsmen ensued.
Advice, hire a professional dance team to coincidentally be staying at the same hotel where your dance is.
Gonna win 'em all!
-
also try to remember this is both of your days but really it's her day so do stuff that you know will make her super happy even if it kinda sucks.
-
like, when you see her in her wedding dress act completely blown away even if she looks exactly the same as every other day. your job is to be floored like WOW WHO IS THIS I AM SO LUCKY!
-
also, if your best man is someone who probably sucks at giving a best man speech make sure he adds something into his speech about how amazing the bride looks. some people are just idiots and don't do the obvious.
-
Publicly thank her parents, especially her mom, for doing such a wonderful job raising her.
Gonna win 'em all!
-
Dance with your mother in law at least twice.
Gonna win 'em all!
-
Dance with your own mom at least 3 times.
Gonna win 'em all!
-
It's a big day for the moms. mil doesn't want to feel like it was just an obligatory dance, hence 2 dances. Your mom doesn't want to feel like mil got better treatment than her, hence 3 dances. (That was more for the rubes, I am guessing yla understood)
Gonna win 'em all!
-
steve dave is really doing a wonderful job.
-
In your speech make sure to thank anyone who may have lifted a finger towards planning/arranging/decorating the wedding and reception venue(which will obviously be the bride's friends and fam) and also the staff who work there too. Just say "Wow I can't believe how many people worked towards making this such a wonderful day!"

Write a special note to future yla. Have the made of honor give it to her either early that morning or about an hour before the wedding, depending on whether or not you are going to see the bride before the wedding.

Also, on the morning of your wedding, have the hotel secretly deliver to her your incredibly thoughtful custom homemade music box, the tune of which you brilliantly programmed to play her "first dance with dad" song.

What ended up being the most important piece of advice was given to me by our officiant right before starting the ceremony. She looked right at me and said "remember to breathe"
Good thing, otherwise I would not have been able to keep it together. BAC was a bumbling mess.
-
This is obvi you're wifes day, but your mom will probably think its her day too, so take care of both of them
-

no kids
-
sd and slobber know how to get married.
-
I will say that although steve dave is incredibly thoughtful and generous, that's a lot of crap to think about, not a good recipe for "relaxing".
-

Respect for your elders is appreciated. (at weddings and on blogs)

now that it's in his brain he won't have to think about it. it'll just happen.

Do grooms cry at their weddings? Like is that a normal thing or are those people weird?
-

it's not weird to cry, it's not weird to not cry. Everyone is different.

it's not weird to cry, it's not weird to not cry. Everyone is different.
but if your bride is crying it might be a good idea to drum up a few happy tears as well.
-
I cannot imagine crying about anything other than KSU winning/losing a national title in football
-
Bring the worst automobile you own as your getaway vehicle. Your groomsmen are probably going to wreck it.
Under no circumstance should you bring your wife's brand new car because while everyone else is enjoying cake the day after, you'll be out there washing crudely drawn pictures off of the windows and wiping lube off of the console.
-
Remember that this is just the first day of your marriage. After this, it is going to take a bunch of hard work to not kill each other and stay together forever. (Not to be a bummer, but #truth.) So remember to show her that you appreciate her everyday, not just on your wedding day.
(So like, don't sweat this one day so much.)
-
Don't let the photographer boss you around. Some of them get pushy about getting all of the pictures done so they can leave early. Tell them you paid for the night and have a piece of cake and some fish.
-
Make absolutely certain that you have at least 15 minutes alone with your wife sometime after the wedding and before the reception. It is such a hectic day and you don't want to end up with either of you feeling like you spent your entire wedding day worrying about other people and not actually getting a chance to relax and talk without all of the guests gushing over everything. We did this with an extended limo ride between the wedding and the reception. You could even take the best man and maid of honor along, but you just need some time away from the hoopla.
Mrs Gooch is correct. The wedding is a day, a marriage is forever. (say something like that in the special note you write her)

If you're finalizing a prenup, get it done, like today. Don't want any claims of being under duress or something (unless you'd be the one attempting to invalidate).

Unless your wife is the rich one in which case you need to put this off, act super flustered and say things like "now, what is this for?" in front of her parents as you are signing it

strong men also cry.

You should go to the courthouse and sign the paperwork a day or two before. Took some stress off our wedding to go "Doesn't really matter, already married"
-
Make sure one tiny piece of hair isn't sticking up like alfalfa in every single one of your wedding photos.
-
make sure you have good breath since you'll be talking to over 100 people

One tip that I will share is do not book a scenic bed and breakfast for your wedding night. They do not allow booze and they will try to talk to you in the morning and won't just give you a coffee to go.

I did this one Curtis benjamin room and I assume they do allow booze since they have this romance package thingy that involves wine

Buy a nice notebook/journal thing. Write down a bunch of different memories/stories from your relationship on a bunch of pages, then give it to her the night before/morning of the wedding. Not only will she be :D on the wedding day, but she'll pull it out from time to time for the rest of your marriage and be :fatty: every time.
Make sure to get a good picture of you with the grandparents before they leave.

Yeah just try to get out of there in the morning without sitting down to breakfast, I can't imagine how awkward and terrible breakfast would've been if we'd actually stayed there for it.
-
I stayed at a bread and breakfast once and I hated it. So like, don't limit staying at them to your wedding night.

is there any omaha wedding where the first dance isn't this song or the husker fight song? (great first dance song, BTW)

I've only been to a few but I have yet to hear Bright Eyes. All have featured the husker song at some point but not the first dance.
