10 Things That Don't Matter at Your Wedding
By Candy Friedman
Here's a list
of ten things not to worry about at your wedding. You might
think that any
little mistake or faux pas would be the end of the world, but
trust me, the majority of little things that may go wrong, no
one but you will notice or even care about.
1) If the cake topper is different than you remember, no
one will notice.
2) If you miss a word or a line when you or your groom are
saying the vows you each wrote, no one will notice (as long
as you say "I Will" or "I Do" correctly).
3) If the flowers in the centerpieces are made up of only
7 lilies instead of 8, no one will notice.
4) If you forget to wear your necklace, earings, or something
blue, no one will notice.
5) If the napkins are the wrong shade of pink, no one will
notice. Same with your nailpolish.
6) If one of your bridesmaids walks down the isle with the
wrong groomsman, no one will notice.
7) If the band/dj forgets to play "The Electric Slide",
no one will notice (and someone might actually thank you).
8) If you walk a little too slow or a little too fast down
the aisle, no one will notice (as long as you're not sprinting
like a track star).
9) If the bestman doesn't say anything to embarass you or
your groom, no one will notice (and you'll probably be very
relieved).
10) And last but not least... if Aunt Mary or Edna (supply
the relative of your choice here)gets too big of a piece of
wedding cake, no one will notice, and your Aunt will probably
enjoy every moment of it.
What do you think?

thanks for putting things in perspective! :)

lol...you're so right on those! Another thing no-one
noticed at my wedding was that my veil wasn't over my
face!!!!

Someone will notice number 7 and someone will
request it. You tell them no.

Also make sure that no one suggests the Macerina. I'd go
nuts. No Hookey Pokey either!
Not everything is perfect, not everything goes according
to plan. Just so long as you don't fall down, nothing
catches fire, and you don't fight with your sister (or she
doesn't fight with you) everything should (hopefully) be ok.
At least, that's what I'm hoping for. (I have a knack for
falling at inappropate times.)

Maybe nobody will notice except for you. Then it will be on
your mind and you can't concentrate. Everyone should just
check everything before the wedding and practise extra good
and they will have and great day.

As long as my gorgeous groom is there I could care less if
the cake doesn't show up or anything else, seriously.

It's a wedding, one day in the rest of your MARRIAGE. Too
much emphasis is placed on wedding preparation and not
marriage preparation! These caterers, florists, and other
hired help are driving me up a wall.
Andrea -- Sunday, August 8 2004, 11:55 am
YOU ARE SO RIGHT. THAT MADE MY DAY, THANKS
Adam's wifey -- Wednesday, August 25 2004, 06:16 pm
That's right is's your day and you should be having fun.
Just go with it.

I agree, I think it is easy to get caught up on the details
and forget what the whole thing is really about. The number
of people that have told me 'It's your wedding and you have
what you want' when trying to sell me the most expensive
dress, or flowers or invitations, when what i personally
wanted for my wedding was simple and intimate, with lots of
smiles.

I did fall down...No one remembers except my family and his.
I'm still just as married 6 years later. And look on the
bright side, you should go ahead and lose your dignity
now...It makes child birth less of a shock!
RYLEIGH -- Tuesday, February 22 2005, 09:10 pm
my wed will be in dec and I am so caught up in the details I
wish i could cater, decorate, do everyones hair, ect myself
so its perfect. I know I will be in for a big surprise when
the day comes. Ah!!

My wedding was a very small affair, only a handfull of the
closest family, and the officiant was an old family friend.
During the ceremony her young son became obviously bored and
we could all hear him in the background muttering, "Blah
blah blah," under his breath. It could have ruined the day
for me but instead it gave us a funny memory to cherish and
a story just a bit different from the ones you usually hear.
The little things that inevitably go wrong can help your
special day stand out from the other weddings people will go
to, if you're willing to see the humor.

We had an outdoor wedding at a memorial chapel. Our friend
was playing taped music for the procession and got it
right... but for the recessional, he lost his place and
instead played bird chirpings instead of Pachobel, Canon in
D... what a nice substitute and of course everyone thought
it was planned!

that's a load of bull...the point is not that no one
notices, it's the fact that you didn't want your napkins
that shade of pink...and you did want 8 centre flowers and
you paid for 8..why should you settle for 7...i think you're
point is...don't let it ruin your night...but of course no
one else notices..the fact is you do...and you organised
it!!but again...just don't let it become the focus of your
day because in the grand scheme of things...it's not real!
