It's your day! Don't sweat the small stuff!

Oh joy! You're getting married. Happy, warm, fuzzy feelings.

Oh God! You're getting married. Panic and more panic! What now?

So, one thing at a time, and remember, don't sweat the small stuff. You are marrying the man of your dreams, the love of your life. You'll remember HIM at the wedding and the vows you make that day, not the cake that fell, or the decorations in the wrong color. It's your wedding day. Wow, imagine that. You're getting married. Congratulations!

So, once the panic subsides it's time to get busy. That's right, busy planning and organizing, making lists and more lists. It's all going to be ok, I promise. People do it every day. You're going to be fine!

I recommend listening to your instincts and what feels right for you and sticking to it. Your family and friends will want to contribute and that's wonderful. However, this is your day so gently thank them, use the ideas you love and then do what YOU want. Remember, attitude is everything. Please, please, please don't turn into Bridezilla. Chill, breathe and remember to be kind.

Remember, you have options. If something doesn't work out in your planning, it's ok. You'll be sure to find something to replace it that you might love even more. The point is that you have to be flexible and recognize that it's the journey, not the destination. This is the time of your life, so take a night out with the girls and de-stress, or take a getaway weekend with the groom-to-be and remember that this day is about love and romance. It's the foibles and gnarly bits that will have you laughing years from now and you tell the story to your kids and grandkids.

So, for now, get out there and have fun with it. You'll be happier for it!
