Re: One piece of advice....
yanzala, thats hliarious! omg, poor hubby and poor friend... what a start!
i was on an adrenalin high from the night before... we were all meant to meet up at 8am to get our makeup done (the b'maids and i) and then head out for the pre-wedding photoshoot (i agree with the advice of getting pics done before with hubs, and close family... its way less stressed and theres nicer pics than just the ones of you and your fam crowded around the stage). anyway, i didn't sleep for more than an hour the night before- the mehendi was bothering me so i was picking it off, i was hungry, i was restless, i stayed over at my cousin's house so they took me out for a drive at 2am cos i was making them crazy with excitement. yeah, my whole wedding day was just pure adrenalin, until 6am the following day when everyone cleared off from the after party so we could sleep.
boy, was i tired at that point! :p
SLEEPING the night before is great advice!
also, EAT at your own wedding! after all the menu planning, its such a shame when you forget. i think i had one bite of the lovely food that was being bbq'ed and one bite of our wedding cake. again, i was so busy mingling with people and just so excited to be married that i didn't sit still long enough, and now i wonder why because everyone still keeps going on about how awesome the steak and the dessert table were. diss.
