Wedding day jitters are common for the bride and groom. The bride may worry about the details of the ceremony and reception. The groom may be anxious for any number of reasons, including thoughts of his bride's timely arrival at the altar. Here are some ideas to help you both relax and enjoy this most special day... If you are having a destination wedding, make sure you arrive at the destination the day before so that you are not rushing around on your wedding day.  Plan to pamper yourself from the moment you arrive. The groom can spend the day golfing while the bride relaxes poolside. Plan to have a nice breakfast together on your wedding-morning. Share your wedding day plans so that you know what the other is doing in case you need to touch base throughout the day. Have a massage. When placing your reservation, ask if they can recommend a local beautician and have them on site at least 4 hours before the ceremony. Offer their services to your attendants, but schedule your appointment after theirs - about an hour before the ceremony. If your wedding is to be held at another location, hire a limo to transport you to the site. Have the chauffeur stock the bar with your favorite drinks and a light snack (caviar, shrimp, cheese, cashews...) to enjoy during the ride while listening to your favorite CD or tape. While you are getting ready, allow only those who are near and dear to be in the room. You will not be pleased to hear comments and suggestions from those who know very little about you. If someone makes you tense, ask them politely to leave as 'you must get ready.' A good idea is to put a 'do not disturb' sign on the door. Leave last minute details to someone you can rely on. Give them a list with every last thing you can possibly think of, and then erase them from your mind so that you can enjoy the day! Hints & Tips Index
