This is excellent advice. But it’s usually met with an eye roll, a polite smile, or the slightly insane laughter of someone whose stress level has already reached previously unimaginable heights. And I get it. Your wedding is supposed to be “the happiest day of your life,” right? You’ve got to have the dress, the flowers, the dance, the toasts, and it’s all got to go off without a hitch, right? I mean, this is your wedding day!
