best piece of advice i can offer is to not sweat the small stuff on the day. yeah, it's inevitable you'll be stressing up til the day BUT - if you sweat the small stuff you won't enjoy yourself - and as much as this is a "public" declaration of your love, it's a declaration of YOUR love - so YOU and your DP need to enjoy yourself!

on the day, we had DH's extranged family try to sabotage our reception (thankfully the reception venue fixed what they'd done). we didn't find out til the next day

ummm, the only thing that really happened (and made everyone giggle) is that DH's fly broke just before i arrived - so his fly was gaping the whole time! thankfully i didn't notice - and someone managed to find safety pins for him (we got married only just up the road from home, so all that stuff was accessible). i spent the rest of the day helping him in and out of his trousers when he needed the loo though lol

make sure you have drinks with you - you never know what the weather will do - the weekend before our wedding was atrocious, the weekend after was horrid (to the point of flooding out this way - in FEB!) - our wedding was almost 40degrees! have water and a straw (to stop lipstick smudging) - and EAT - don't want to be passing out from no energy!
