Advice to Brides?

It is a truth universally accepted that a beautiful wedding requires substantial attention to details. Even so, things can go wrong. While I’m not wont to give unsolicited advice habitually, I have been to my fair share of weddings where things did not go according to plan.

For the sake of love, I offer three tips:

#1 – Big problem? Call the florist! Did the preacher get in a car accident the night before? Did the dog eat a large chunk of the wedding cake? Your florist has seen it all and will have a solution.

#2 – At the rehearsal, make sure to tell the boys in the groom’s party “don’t lock your knees.” Standing tall is good, but “locking your knees” can actually cut off circulation and cause a grown man to faint. The stunning beauty of the marble altar is the last place anyone would want to hit one’s head.

#3 – Despite the playfulness and good intentions, please refrain from smashing wedding cake into each other’s mouths. I will grant it might be funny in the moment, but those photos just won’t hold up as funny as the years unfold.
