Just thought I'd share a few things I learnt after my own wedding...
1. Your dress will get grass stains etc on the train. It doesn't matter how much you try to protect it, something will happen, and in all honesty you will not care!
2. Nobody will make snide comments on the day, and if they do you will not hear them. Even if you do hear them you will not care because you will be so happy.
3. Before the wedding you will be stressing about making every little detail perfect. In fact what makes a perfect wedding is everyone seeing how in love the pair of you are and how happy you are. You're guests will just be happy for you and enjoy the free wine and food.
4. The photographs are important. The reason for this is that the day goes by in such a blur and so quickly. They also help get rid of the post-wedding blues.
5. Post-wedding blues. After months (or in some cases years) of planning it is all over and done with. You suddenly wonder what on earth you are going to do with yourself. A new project is helpful at this point (for me my dissertation).
6. No matter how calm and reasonable you think you have been, and no matter how much you have tried to avoid turning into a bridezilla, someone will claim that you were one. Ignore them and just think about how happy and perfect your day was when you got to marry your husband. In all honesty you probably weren't a bridezilla, you'd have probably snapped at them anyway for p**sing you off!!
7. The ceremony for me was the most important part of the day. I loved the reception, enjoying some drinks and having a laugh with friends and family, but essentially the only reason it was a special get together was because of the ceremony and that is the part of the day that filled me with the most emotion. Seeing that many people there that I loved who were witnessing the love of my life and I exchanging vows was indescribable.
8. You will be exhausted the following day. On the wedding day you will be so full of adrenaline you don't realise how much is going on. However, the next day you feel like hiding under the duvet for the rest of the week. Instead I got to attend another party for my grandparents 50th anniversary lol
9. For some reason your uncle, grandmother, etc will suddenly feel it is perfectly acceptable to comment on your sex life.
10. You will spend the next few months constantly referring to your husband not by his name but by 'My husband' simply to get used to how it sounds.
11. Your husband will play with his wedding ring and you will shout at him for it.
