The Best Wedding Advice: BE THERE on TIME!

I don't think there could be a better wedding advice than for the bridal couple to be there on-time on their "D" Day.

We often experienced on most weddings waiting in vain and endlessly for bridal couples to get to the church and march before we can even witness their sweet exchange of matrimonial vows. And, as a result, family, relatives, friends and guests most of the time end up sweaty, make-up melting and feeling sticky as we wait for the seemingly "ever spectacular" going down the aisle.

Although wedding could really be stressing and planning could be very time consuming, annoying delays aren't inevitable. Truth is, it can be avoided.

Here's how:

A. Wedding Coordinator. Getting the professional service of a wedding coordinator could definitely help and ease the marrying partners a lot.

Since preparation could be as exhausting as the day gets closer, it would really be a tough job for the bride and grooms to take care of everything by themselves.

But, with the help of wedding professional who will see to it that everything would go as planned based from the couple's preferences on all things, from the gown and the suit, to the sponsor's dresses, the rings, the church, to the food and the hotel, invitations, motif or theme, the coverage, rsvps and etc... the lesser chances of having the hassles and delays, as well as in missing things.

B. Itinerary. Of course, not all can afford a wedding coordinator. So, for those who are short of budget, having a detailed itinerary as soon as the wedding date had been set would always make sense. It keeps you on track.

C. Be organized. Organizing things needed for the wedding day and the "might be needed" ones too, like hair clips, safety pins, needles and threads, first aid kits and even a few tablets or capsules of over-the-counter meds could help save time and avoid the unexpected.

D. Delegate Task. Giving task and seeking the assistance of your bridesmaid, maid-of-honor and the best man could also come handy. Families can help too.

E. Try your best to relax. Don't get too excited in doing things. Follow the schedule and be thorough with the plan. Never cram and don't be fickle minded; avoid last minute changes that could blow-up and mess your wedding day.

I know it's hard especially for the bride to relax and not to get stressed out but, cramming won't help either. Just keep in mind that you and the groom are the main stars of this event and you just have to look at your best.

Wedding is not just a very important day in one's life. It's a new beginning, a chapter of an adulthood wherein we commence on a bigger responsibility; a partnership that is bound for a lifetime.

Keeping up the schedule as planned will not only reflect our preparedness to welcome new life with the one we have chosen but, most of all and our dedication to commit ourselves to this sacred union.
