Finding the Humor
in your Wedding
by Kari White
Prepare for anything to happen on your wedding day!!
No matter how much preparation you have given to your wedding or
reviewed the details; some things can just happen.
One week before my wedding, my father announced he was going in for a
major colon operation. Unfortunately, there was no way he could
re-schedule this operation and there was also no way we could
re-schedule the wedding.
We just had to go on. The operation was a success but by the time the
wedding hit he was still in the hospital and was only able to come to
the wedding to walk me down the aisle. The poor guy helped pay for the
party, had tons of friends there and had to leave. It sucked but there
was absolutely nothing we could do about it. It was just the way things
played out.
You can never know what might happen. But, the main thing is to go on.
My dad not being at my wedding was a huge glitch in my day but it also
helped me overlook all the other things.
Say for example:
¤ My fiancé getting a black eye the day before the wedding while
kickboxing
¤ The spa screwing up my booking for my pedicure and manicure (on the
positive, they did get the bridesmaid’s correct)
¤ My aunt spilling a full glass of red wine all down the front of my
mothers (pink) dress
¤ Scrambling for a place for pictures as the weather wasn’t cooperating
for outdoor pictures as planned
¤ And the best, a bell man screaming at my husband and I to open our
door on our wedding night as he thought we were having a huge party (it
was next door) –although my husband always likes saying we made way too
much noise that night.
In hindsight, it’s all really humorous (well except my dad part)! Make
sure you grab your humour on your wedding day about all the things that
are out of your control! If you can’t seem to find the humour, try to do
a few relaxation techniques such as:
¤ Tighten the muscles in your toes. Hold for a count of 10. Relax and
enjoy the sensation of release from tension.
¤ Breathe deeply and slowly.
¤ Get a quick breath of fresh air! A quick walk can give you a
much-needed “time-out” which will release some tension.
Try to also designate someone to take care of details that you just
don’t need to worry about. For example, have a friend in charge of the
catering or someone for the music etc. When a
problem arises, the bride usually hears and then you can just tell your
friend and forget about it. You don’t need to be wasting your time
fighting with the catering or disc jockey.
