Tip of the Day: "The ceremony flies by so fast; you have so much energy and excitement about it, and suddenly it's over before you know what happened. Ask your officiant to give you a moment during your ceremony to face your guests. Look out at all the people who love you and are there to support you on this beautiful day. Time seems to slow down in this second while you look at all their faces and breathe the moment in," says Vikki Marsee from All You Need is Love Events.

Tip of the Day: "The number of brides I hear lamenting about how much their feet hurt is way too high.
