The Little Things That No One Tells You About Your Wedding Day

Who you marry will be the most important decision of your life, but it should be the easiest.

Besides, in the end, it’s really not about the wedding but most importantly about the marriage and life, you will live together. Anyway, so here are things you should be prepared psychologically for on your wedding day.

• It will be the happiest day of your life if you decide it will be. You cannot rely on external factors to decide that today is the happiest day of your life. Because in most cases not everything will go the way you perfectly imagined it to be!
• Your white dress will get DIRTY. And do not stress it. Because really it won’t show. My advice would be; have two dresses if you will have a reception after the marriage vows. My dress got toned somewhere along the day (And oh my! It ruined my mood- That’s a story for another day.. Lol!) I wished I had two different dresses, But it was too late — Do not make my mistake if you can.
• You will look beautiful, but your truest beauty will be revealed with your most genuine smile. I am telling you, do not stress about whether you look beautiful, whether your dress is fine or your hair is in place, or if your makeup has gone off. At the end of the day- you are the BRIDE. smile your way through and just enjoy every second of it
• It will probably be the most photographed day of your life. — Hire the best PHOTOGRAPHERS! My husband thinks I am obsessed with pictures, but to be honest- I felt that it was too many pictures that day, I was doneeee. I was tired of smiling and having to pose for the camera every now and then. Oooh well, in the end, the memories were worth it and will be cherished forever.
• You will get TIRED. I was personally exhausted. During the wedding reception, I couldn’t feel my feet, I couldn't keep my eyes open and I really just wanted everything to end. I wanted to SLEEP. I really wondered — Did married couples really have the strength to do anything on their wedding night? 😂
• If your bridal squad involves your friends, you are likely to have a lot more fun. They will look out for you. They will make sure you are looking your best and most importantly, they will dance with you. Get your close friends in your bridal squad and you’ll thank me later!

• It will really feel wired calling your man Husband. The first time I introduced him after we got married I couldn’t clearly pronounce the words. I was struck with lighting “Oh my God, this man is my husband, and I am literally a wife!” AAAAAAAH. And AAAAAAHHHHH this is so exciting. And scary!
• After Saying I DO, you will feel a lot of pressure off of you. The best moment on my wedding day was at church. I could relieve that moment over and over again. And after it was done, I was just chilled!

Good luck and do enjoy your wedding. Of all the weddings you will ever go to, there will be one where you are the Bride!. May you make a beautiful, stunning, and happy bride — on your wedding day and throughout your marriage!

To all the former brides like me, We say — once a bride always a bride 😜
