My mom said all I would eventually have from my wedding was a bunch of pictures of old styles for my kids to laugh at, so I should do things that were classic and look nice in pictures, then not worry about anything else. Years later, even after the divorce, my favorite thing from the wedding is a picture of us…

When I get married, my coworkers threw me a party. At one point, all the married ones stood up and each decided to give a piece of advice for the wedding and marriage in turn.

That’s what we did. I’m not really a wedding or center-of-attention person and I had a blast. All of the guests had a blast. This was in a wedding factory. No, it wasn’t the sun-dappled redwood grove, overlooking the Big Sur coastline that I’d have loved to do, but those people knew their business and did it well.

Perfectly said. If something makes you happy (cake! a pretty dress! music! dancing!) include it. If something doesn’t make you happy (cake! a pretty dress! music! dancing!) don’t include it. The only thing that needs to happen is you getting married for it to be a wedding.

Fantastic advice. I did exactly that. I only wish my dad had been alive to be there because he would have been so proud of how I planned and conducted things.

Preach.

Well your father just brought me to damn bride-to-be tears.

This was exactly my feelings. The bottom line is that it is your celebration as a couple, and your comfort is key to enjoying it.

That’s pretty awesome advice. I wish I could share that with the Bridezilla of ‘12. Her wedding was her excuse to control everyone in her life. It wasn’t a day I (and the other bridesmaids) looked forward to. How sad is that? IF. I ever get married, I'd want it to be something folks were excited for.

I suspect this piece of shit is the first person to bring up the First Amendment when it comes to corporations’ right to free speech via political donations or religious groups’ right to protest outside abortion clinics.

My brother got worried after my wedding that his wouldn’t be as fun. I told him there’s just one way to ensure it’s fun: Have fun yourselves. Give your guests food, drink and dancing, keep it simple, but for God’s sake, enjoy it. It is so infectious to see a bride and groom having a blast. My husband and I sure did;…

Perfect advice! Just enjoy the day, do all that you can do in preparation to enjoy yourselves. No one wants to remember how cranky the bride and groom were.

Have I got a guy for you!

I’ll settle for “doesn’t smell.”

He'll also make sure there is enough for all of us. My God throws an awesome potluck bonfire.

Guys, I took it to JC in prayer, he told me this guy would make the s'mores have "a flavor" that no chocolate could cover. He advised that someone should bring a small camp stove.

No, it's okay. You can totally bring a box of water. Jesus is coming so he'll upgrade it for you.

I’ve got s’mores duty covered.

Oh, you don’t have to kill yourself to set yourself on fire, maybe just sear up a small portion of your forearm. I fixed your problem for you! Now, it might be very painful, inconvenient, and if something goes wrong it still might kill you. At that point it’s really in god’s hands what happens to you and your burns,…
