Tip of the Day: When you check into your hotel, tell all of the resort staff members that you're there on your honeymoon. Don't be shy — they may take extra steps to make your stay even more special! The best case scenario is that you'll get a room upgrade, but you might also get smaller perks, too, like a gift bag with free shirts, a bottle of champagne, or more time for your couple's massage.

Tip of the Day: Be a team throughout the entire wedding-planning process. No matter how well-intentioned, friends and family will undoubtedly lend advice, opinions, and even objections to your decisions. It's easy for you two to become divided. But in the end, this is a celebration of your love and future together, and so every choice should be yours alone. Keep your focus on what matters most, forget what you think you should or shouldn't do, and go with your heart. If you keep you two at the center of every decision, it will be the most memorable day of your life.
