Too worried about others

I'll kick this off as I've had a go at getting married before. My over-riding memroeis were of being too worried about others and not being worried about me and the bride. Have they got something to eat? Is the photographer taking too long? Is the wine cold enough etc etc. Relax and enjoy it and make sure it's your only time!

Can't agree with this enough. My best friend got married earlier this year and said that she wishes she'd just joined in with the party (like her husband) instead of worrying about distant relatives drinks.

This is a very good point, a wedding is stressful enough as it is, nevermind with having to worry about how other people are feeling. If you get a great wedding planner then this can ease your mind a bit, because you can be safe in the knowledge that they have got everything covered. My daughter's wedding is being planned with seemingly military precision, so hopefully she can be worry free on the big day!

Something always goes wrong though...

Hopefully not if you have contingency plans! My wedding with be super smooth...

I hope my wedding day goes as smooth as I want it to but something is bound to go wrong surely? Lateness, wilted flowers, wrong food?

I think as long as you've done the planning it should *touch wood, all go okay. Little things may go wrong, but you've just got to let them go on the day (then complain another time). I wouldn't worry too much about food or drinks either, that's what the catering people are there for!

Have a cheeky drink like a champagne breakfast, take lots of deep breaths and you'll have a great day

I wouldn’t worry too much, even if little things go wrong probably nobody would even notice! Just relax and enjoy it!

It's like being in a performance -if you smile and carry on no one will ever know!

That's a great quote to use on the day to calm down some distressed people
