Step 8. Behaving at the Wedding | |||||||||||
Because trust us you need help | |||||||||||
| |||||||||||
You are being watched | |||||||||||
The biggest difference between your wedding day and any other day in your life is that you are constantly being watched. Nothing you do is free from observation by somebody, so you have to be on your toes. It's like being a celebrity for the day, and you know that nobody likes anything better than embarassing pictures of celebrities, so keep that finger out of your nose! Even if you know exactly where the hired photographer and videographer are at the moment, you can rest assured that some annoying guest with a digital camera and a webpage is just waiting to take some compromising pictures of you. | |||||||||||
Drink, but not too much | |||||||||||
This is a no brainer - you are going to need a few drinks to get through the night. But don't overdo it, not on your own wedding day. Puke doesn't come out of a wedding dress. Period. | |||||||||||
Eat | |||||||||||
If you are going to survive a few drinks without getting blitzed, you're going to have to eat something. Besides, you paid for all this food! Well, maybe you didn't, but then your bride or her family or your family did, and it's all one big family now so that's close enough. You're not going to have to worry about over-eating though, because there isn't going to be time. It's easy to mingle with a beer in one hand and a glass of wine in the other, but not so easy with that plate full of roast beef and gravy. | |||||||||||
Spend time with your friends | |||||||||||
These are the people that you like after all! It's pretty easy to forget about them with all the family obligations, because you know your buddies are going to forgive you if you don't spend much time with them, whereas Aunt Hilda might not. But you know what, Aunt Hilda isn't going to put you in her will anyways, so you might as well spend a few more minutes listening to your friends tell you what a big mistake you made. If they're single, it's jealousy, and if they're married, they're secretly delighted you are too. | |||||||||||
Spend more time with your wife | |||||||||||
Believe it or not, it's easy to forget about your wife as you both make the rounds of guests and buffet tables, but that is a mistake you will regret. You only get one chance at a wedding with this girl, and this is the love of your life so you want to experience it together. I don't mean glue yourself to her hip, but don't make yourself scarce. Besides, she just spent half a day making herself look hot. Enjoy it, because she may never look that beautiful again, even when she's naked. | |||||||||||
Spend some time taking it in | |||||||||||
Finally, don't forget to breathe, relax and enjoy yourself. The wedding is going to go by insanely fast, and if you aren't careful you might miss most of it. Take a minute just to sit and enjoy. Pull your wife aside and just hold her for a moment and suck in the atmosphere. Everybody else can wait. Remember that this is your wedding, and you are now officially married (but try not to freak out about that!). | |||||||||||
