Even though it ended early, we still had a wonderful time. It was still a lot of fun, and we look back on it with fond memories. In fact, it was a little embarrassing dancing with most of my guests sitting down. Once everyone left, we could enjoy ourselves on the dancefloor without feeling like a million eyes were upon us.
If you're reading this and still planning your wedding, I can offer a few pieces of advice.
- HIRE A DAY OF COORDINATOR. You will thank yourself later. I can't believe I was thinking about going without.
- Relax. What will happen will happen, even if it's not according to plan.
- Before the photographer shows up, try to resist smiling. I know, it sounds weird. But you're going to smile for at least 8 hours straight, so give your cheeks a chance to rest before everything starts.
- If something goes wrong - which it will - blow it off and keep going. You won't remember the things that go right. The things that don't go according to plan? That's what you'll remember forever. So you can choose to laugh about it, or fume over it. Which do you think is more fun?
