I learned at my own wedding that being the bride or the groom really isn't that great and I'm glad that its overwith.
I mean it was nice, I enjoyed the day, but I'm just glad its over.

The more details there are ; the more opportunities there are for things to go wrong and for someone to freak out or become a bridezilla or some type of zilla.
Everything a little child does in a wedding party is cute; so don't be stressed out about it. If the 3 year old flowergirl wants to flash everyone as she walks down the asle it'll be ok. If there are kids involved, there will be random unprogramed cuteness.
If one thing goes wrong, it's ok. Instead of becoming a tacky person and offending others who had nothing to do with it over it, just deal and make it work.
When you act terrible; people remember it instead of how beautiful your wedding was. and then they laugh at you. especially when it's on film- then they laugh at you over and over again.
If anyone helped you at all in your wedding; write a hand written thank you note. Letting people know that you appreciate their help when they didn't have to help you at all is tremendously classy and it says a lot about you. and don't wait until 2 years later to send them out.
Weddings involve people not things. So don't get so caught up in making the "things" perfect that you step all over the people that are there for you and want to support you. don't burn bridges with the people in your life over details and things.
Ice Sculptures are frozen water and they melt. don't spend money on one.
All that money you spend on favors; people are just gonna throw them away when they have gotten home and left them in their car after 2 weeks. Also if you make favors; bear in mind that they are going to be admired for 2 min. and then thrown away when guests take them home so is it really worth it to spend 5 weeks and untold hours making them "perfect". No one is going to treasure it except you and your mom. the most useful favor I didn't toss was a magnet with the couple's picture and new address on it.

My husband and I didn't plan our wedding, we tried for a bit but gave up eventually. It was easier to let everyone else do it, because they thought they knew what we wanted more than we did. Including the cake, which I asked for chocolate (and was called a bridezilla for asking) and we had vanilla. I also learned that nothing can go wrong if you don't really care. I just wanted that ring on my finger and to be a Mrs.
I've learned different views on marriages in different denominations, which are all very similar. I appreciate traditional vows more than "made up" ones, because they cover a lot of important ground. I love the traditional vows.
