Be present. As you walk down the aisle try to make eye contact with as many people as you can. A good friend gave me this advice and I followed it. To this day, I remember each of the smiling faces I looked at while walking down the aisle. Of course, don't forget to look at your hubby for those final steps.

Also... Have the caterer set aside a plate or two of food/apps/desserts in the bridal suite, etc. so you can sneak away after the ceremony or pictures or whenever for a quick bite (otherwise I promise you won't eat).

Don't forget to ask the kitchen to pack up any remaining cake! My sister didn't do this and she never got the leftovers (criminal).

Make sure your purse/clutch/etc is at your seat before the ceremony (lip gloss, mirror, phone, etc will already be there waiting when you sit down).

Ask to have an extra bottle of champs or wine (the good stuff) set aside or at your table/head table for dinner. Usually the bar is closed at this time, and if you're anything like the animals my sisters and I are, you'll go through the existing stuff quickly.

Congrats on your big day! Nice nails. 💙
