My list of wedding musts!!!

1.) You must have a wedding rehearsal. This is a full dress rehearsal folks.  Not dinner or lunch that we are going to label a wedding rehearsal. You are going to do a full walk through of the wedding ceremony... in FULL dress so you that you can catch and correct things like your bridesmaid wearing wedge shoes. Not acceptable... put your comfortable, but ugly and casual shoes back in the closet. Weddings are not about comfort. Or, you'll be able to find out/hear when the mother of the bride is wearing a backless sandal shoe with a fat heel which sounds horse-like as she trots her way down the aisle.  We don't need a fruckin' Clydesdale to escort the groomsman down the aisle. Seriously, dress rehearsals are a must.

2.) If you choose to have a minister, pastor, bishop or other religious official officiate your ceremony, they must NOT use that opportunity to preach or give a sermon.  This person is there to be the official at the ceremony. They should not be giving any kind of sermon... at all. Period. 

3.) Bridesmaids dresses MUST match the groomsman's vests. Why does this confuse people?

4.) On a similar note, the bridesmaids flowers MUST match the brides bouquet. Obviously, the flowers and bouquet need not be identical, but they should have similar flowers. Why is this hard for people to grasp.

5.) If you choose to have your wedding outside, and you choose to have the wedding later in the day so that your guest do not bake up nicely in the noon day sun, do NOT have them face west so they stare nicely in to the sun.
