your wedding experience 2016 - 2017

Happy new year, this is actually my first article this year,  still on (your wedding experience) segment, in this new episode, I ask my audience what do you wish you knew and do on your wedding day?

here are their sage words of wisdom.

1.) choose bridesmaids very wisely.

choose bridesmaids wisely. pick those who know how to put up with you and you know how to put up with in intense situations. they could make the day more stressful or dramatic (alcohol, money, or lack of attention on them). i could not imagine my kids looking at my wedding album and not knowing a bridesmaid, a person who i thought was my closest of close friend. it is not worth the drama. stick to sisters and childhood friends. i got lucky, but many friends did  not.

2.) On the day of your  wedding? you need to eat something.

 “eat breakfast! i was so busy rushing around the morning of my wedding that i didn’t eat anything. by the time i got to the reception at, oh, i was utterly famished, to the point of being lightheaded.  (posted  by #sydney, #ibadan, via #twitter) #yourweddingexperience  #2016 - #2017

3.) tell your photographer what you want in advance.

give the photographers a list of pictures you want beforehand. you won’t remember all the cute  ideas the day of the wedding. (posted by #Jessica #amadi, #jos  via #facebook) #yourweddingexperience  #2016 - #2017

4.)  on the big day, make someone your point person.

 i wish i had known that no matter how clear the details of the wedding are on the invitations , almost  everyone will still try to text and call you on the wedding day asking for directions. put a family member or your maid of honor (whoever knows your timeline forwards and backwards) in charge of your phone to keep your stress level down so that you can focus on your big day.  (posted  by #lola, #osun, via #instagram)

5.) Social media is obviously a big deal, so figure out if and how to incorporate it — or not — into your wedding.

discuss sharing photos on social media before the wedding, and let your friends and family know whether or not it’s ok with you if they share, or if you would prefer that they don’t.  in this day and age, with everyone posting to instagram, facebook, and twitter, think about it, and discuss ahead of time so there are no hard feelings after the fact.
