    Got married in November here are my thoughts
    1) make sure you find time just for your 2 even if it's 5/10 minutes. We did this just after exiting the ceremony hid away in a room and just enjoying being with each other and found it was really special just us 2 being away from all the guests for abit.

    2) remember to eat! We have been to so many weddings where the bridge and groom are so busy talking to guests they forgot to eat and then the next morning feel so crap due to alcohol consumption and no food. 
  • Don't get absolutely ratted on your wedding day!

    Remember:
    --it's about bringing the two of you together,
    --it's your day, 

    Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.

    Tell whoever is doing a speech - best man, for example - to keep it short and sweet, the shorter the better.

    There will probably be people who drive to the venue - have some non alcoholic beverages on hand.

    Never be stubborn enough to admit you were in the wrong.
    Did you mean this? Or did you mean "never be too stubborn to admit you were in the wrong"?

    Remember the day is just as much about you as your other half, I say this because when I got married it felt as if I was a bit part to the day. Also in terms of advice for your relationship, if something is wrong, bothering you or is on your mind in general, speak up & discuss with your OH.
  • My advice is to smile! 
    It’s easy to smile on your wedding day, you’re carried along on a wave of happiness and goodwill. There may be something that threatens to put a dampener on it (be it the weather or a difficult guest etc) but keep it in perspective and don’t let it ruin your day. 
    It’s harder to smile everyday for the rest of your lives together. But smiles are infectious. Share your smiles for a happy married life and to build a love that will get you through everything that life throws at you
