Don't expect perfection: High expectations can lead to undue stress, dresses may get stained and children my cry. But remember that at the end of it all you will be married, and no one will notice anything else.
-
Be content: Don’t spend beyond your means. Plan for the type of day that you and your groom will want.

Don't try to please everyone: You have a vision of how you want your day to go and everyone else has their own vision also. But remember that it is your day and there is no why to please everyone, try to observe family traditions but stay true to your vision.

Draw your boundaries: It is okay to compromise on some issue, but stay true to your dream. Learn to say no “with love”!

Pamper yourself: Take a bubble bath!
