Call me old fashioned but I believe they are select times you ABSOLUTELY NEED TO BE A LADY.
1- When you're giving birth
2- On your wedding day especially in your wedding dress.
Granted these are probably two of the most stressful times in a woman's life, HOWEVER, being a bitch especially on your wedding day is totally inexcusable.
Don’t be a poorly organized control freak
Frankly if you are poorly organized, you need to delegate. Face it there is no S on your chest so you aren't super woman. Forget trying to control every aspect of your wedding. Believe me it's a recipe for disaster. If you are using a variety of suppliers ensure that they are at all meetings to ensure everyone is on the same page and understand clearly their installation guidelines. It’s always best to use one company to over see these elements. Too many cooks make for a nasty pasta salad. The last thing you need is some egomaniac supplier not showing for a briefing meeting, and is totally clueless about the venue guidelines and as a result and ends up making a total mess of your wedding. Take it from me I’ve seen this happen twice.
Don’t be an unrealistic drama queen…. NO Body likes a BRAT.
Approach wedding planning with a sound mind and realistic expectations. Try to keep a realistic vision for your big day and be prepared for setbacks and disappointments
NO you aren’t some rock star with a back stage entourage
Avoid the Bridezilla mantra, "this is your day." Despite what decorators,ographers, magazines and other industry types tell you; this is NOT just your day. The day also belongs to friends, family and your fiance.
Focus on your marriage and not just the wedding
AH yes your fiance, the worst way to start off your nuptials is being uncouth and ungracefully ordering your fiance about and being nasty to your guest. This is a TOTAL NO! NO!
Remember what is sacred about this event. On your 25th anniversary, you're going to be celebrating what a wonderful spouse you have; not lamenting the fact that he didn’t cut the cake just right, or that his side of the family sat closer to your head table than your girl friends did.
Tips & Warnings
• Know that some things are beyond your control. Your wedding gown may turn out more ivory than off white, your bridesmaids may not all look great in strapless dresses and finally, it can always rain on your wedding day. Hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst. Once it's all said and done, you'll realize how little these small setbacks mattered.
• Remember you aren't the only girl planning her wedding. For every bride choosing her menu and wedding linens, there are fifty more out there doing the same thing. While this is a very special time in your life, don't expect the world to stop in honour of your impending nuptials.
• Keep in mind that the more time you spend planning your wedding, the more obsessive you tend to become. Try to keep your engagement period at a year or less.
