Anyone got any advice for the wedding AND the wedding night? (We've both waited to have sex on our wedding night - and that's the truth)

Thanks!

You have entertainment for the reception?

About the wedding night. My wife and I both waited for our wedding night. My advice is take it slow and gentle. It will be a new and wonderful experience. You will have plenty of other nights to learn about each other! We have just celebrated our 36th anniversary. God bless you on your Wedding day and grant you a good life together. Hope this helps.

At your rehearsal, stay at each others side, it will be easy to get separated, then you wont get to spend much of the night together. My wife and I were married in May, and it happened. I wish I could have spent more of the night with her. So don't let him out of your sight!

Condoms?

I think it's a pity that you've waited until your wedding night so I'd recommend you read On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan. It's about a couple on their wedding day...

I'm Getting Married!!! Help....!?

Relax, I don't think that it takes some as long as others to plan the entire wedding.

It looks like you're doing a pretty thorough job, but if you want to double check yourself and get some more references or ideas, then go to http://www.theknot.com and take a look.

Right off hand, I noticed that you had the venue rented, but will there be somebody managing the events.

I am sure that neither you or your future husband will want to be dealing with things on your big day, so it may be a good idea to pay somebody to take care of things for the two of you.

There may be a lot of stupid little questions that need answering, trivial decisions that need to be made, things signed for, or whatever, just appoint (or preferably hire) somebody if you haven't already done so.

Good luck!

You forgot gifts for your bridesmaids and Groomsmen like flyinghi said! But if you're really nervous about that NIGHT, you should casually ask someone to drop a hint to your GROOM, that he should try to be gentle the first few times! Best wishes!

Have you written a speech yet, and asked someone to MC the reception?

My advice for the wedding night is make sure you don't get carried away with the champagne at the reception ... you don't want to have any dulled senses : )

I'm Getting Married!!! Help....!?

Do you have your tips sorted accordingly? I would have that arranged in labeled envelopes ahead of time, and designate someone else (maid of honor, best man) to distribute them when necessary.

Do you have a person to make sure your stuff comes home with you? (i.e. guest book, any photos you may be displaying, someone to hand out programs or bubbles/rose petals/whatever)

Just dance your heart out with your honey! Don't worry about anything but your new husband and enjoy your night!

I'm Getting Married!!! Help....!?

gifts for your bridal party.

make an appointment a couple of days before the wedding to have a trial run for possible wedding hair updo/style.

the old new borrowed blue tradition.. don't forget the ten pence (dime) in your left shoe (i taped mine into the arch of my left shoe).

good luck.

I'm Getting Married!!! Help....!?

Gifts to your bridesmaids/groomsmen. Don't forget someone to kind of take charge. Like a mistress of ceremonies or something. Our pastor's wife took over ours and i am so glad she did. It made the wedding flow so nicely. That way your reception is smooth also.

Yuck lady that is so materialistic. :P
