Your wedding day is one of the times in your life that will create a memory which will last a lifetime. Most people make sure it will be remembered by setting up memorable events throughout the day including the ceremony and reception. Many will choose a memorable location for their vows and reception. Be sure not to miss out on the special dances with family and friends, such as the father-daughter dance and mother-son dance, by selecting a location with space and equipment for music and dancing. Cutting the cake ceremoniously sets the stage for your lives together by sharing and feeding each other wedding cake.

A wedding is really a theatrical event. As bride and groom, you, your parents and bridal party are the players and your guests are the audience.

If you think about a wedding, it’s also one of the few times in your life that you will hire a photographer and even a videoographer to record the day. It’s one of the few times you will send out invitations to more than a handful of people to help you celebrate an important occasion. Most people will dress to the nines for their wedding day and it’s one of the few times you can get Uncle Charlie to wear a tie. It may be one of the few times you buy a gown or rent a tux.

Also, remember slight mishaps may happen that will add to the day’s events. If the cake falls over or if a bridesmaid trips down the aisle, these things may seem like a disaster or failure at the time, but will be remembered humorously and generate fond memories for years to come. There’s really no need to fret over the little things that happen that you have no control over. Try to relax and enjoy your day.
