The other day I was driving to lunch, and Noodles and Company of course, with a dear friend when she asked me a surprising question:
What did you like about your wedding, and looking back, what would you change?
My answer turned into a few tips of what I did, and didn't do that she should make sure she did... so I thought I'd share.
1. Have incredible food. People remember the food. The food can make the wedding. Have you ever been to a wedding with fantastic food that you just thought was so-so? I have been to plenty of weddings where the food was the let down. Do your guests, and yourself (you’re eating too!) a favor, have incredible food.

2. Think photographs. Three months, or Thirty years from now...you’ll have your husband, and you’ll have photographs. Make sure they’re good. Make sure you captured what you wanted. When I picked bridesmaid dresses I thought photographs. When I picked colors I thought photographs. And when I picked my dress, I was certainly thinking photographs. (I'll spare you from posting a million pictures - check out Wednesday Wedding Details other posts for more :)

3. Don’t have a to-do list. On you wedding day, don’t have responsibilities. Don’t have anything you have to do other than look beautiful, be happy, and marry the love of your life. Have you honeymoon bags packed, have someone in charge of everything, and take every second you can to enjoy your day - because it really is a magical day.
4. Surround yourself with people you love. You don’t need anyone else besdies your husband there to make your day perfect, but loved ones make it all the more wonderful.
There is a lot more I could say on weddings but for now I'll leave it at that.
Other updates: Ben's parents are in town and they are taking us to dinner tonight. That means 2 things: One, very yummy food. Two, a day of lots of cleaning before they get here tonight.
Love,
Elisabeth

I love this series. Lol, I foresee myself revisiting these posts when the time comes (bf has hinted at a ring soooo I suspect I may be asked in the coming months)!
#1, a a guest is such a big deal!!! I went to awedding 2 summers ago of someone I didn't know very well. I understand they had a tight budget but there was no meal, just apps and a late night sandwhich platter... Honestly it was so difficult to enjoy the celebration bc we were starving. It was an afternoon wedding and went till midnight!!
Everytime the waiters would reach our table with the app tray There was 1 or 2 left... So we were all starving!! A bunch of us ended up doinG a mcdonalds run and a few others snuck into the kitchen and bribed the kitchen staff for food!
That was an extreme example, all of the other weddings I went to were so enjoyable. And the food was good too!
I enjoy these posts :)
great tips...I will need to think back on these once I'm engaged! :) -Lo
