i have one word for you: chaos. That's what all the pre-ceremony moments of the wedding day will probably feel like. There will be a dozen people around you, panicking because they forgot their camera, pricked themselves with the boutonniere pin, or hate their hairdo. But you, soldier, will be cool, calm, and poised for your march down the aisle, because you'll have followed this battle plan for wedding-day bliss:
1. Start your day off with your normal routine. If you're a cup of coffee girl, go for it. If you need to go running in the a.m., don't skip your workout. Your body will feel up for the day's challenge if you give it its usual fuel.
2. You're making one of those detailed itineraries, right? So be sure to add meals and energizing snacks to the list. Seriously, a lot of brides forget to do this, and low blood sugar will put anyone in a skittish or bad mood.
3. Have alone time. Being surrounded by your bridesmaids all day could start to get on your nerves. At the very least, make sure there is a room where you can go if you get the urge for some peace and quiet.
4. Something goes wrong? Who cares? You're still getting married and will have the best day of your life. Laugh about it — there is yet to be a wedding where everything went perfectly. And at least you'll have a good story to tell.
5. Remember that butterflies are okay. It's fine to feel nervous, but try to live in the moment. You may not love having all eyes on you — and today, all eyes will be on you. Resolve for this to be the one day when you will bask in the attention. And then take a deep breath and go get married!
