I hope you have a lovely day!
Two very quick stories about wedding days:

First, my own. It was a big wedding with about 120 people at the ceremony and the reception. Lovely to see so many people, but there were people there I hadn't seen for a long time that I wanted to catch up with but I didn't have time. I got frustrated with having to talk to boring rellies and add to this being nervous as hell I didn't enjoy my wedding day. My wife was the same. It was a day for everyone else, and they all had a good time. I think we were the only ones who didn't. I love being married to her, but the day itself wasn't great.

Second story:

My mate Adam got married. I've known him for a very long time but hadn't seen him for a while. We got a few chances to chat during the night, and toward the end of the evening I sat down with a pint and thanked him for putting on such a good do. He said 'You know, something no-one ever told me about getting married was how much fun it would be, I've had the most awesome day ever'. I may have shed a little tear of hapiness for him :o)

Moral (if that's ever possible on b3ta) is, try and enjoy the day. Make it your day and have fun, everyone else will have more fun then and it'll be an awesome day! Good luck.

we plan to make it as fun as possible
re: story 1 - our engagement party was like this, I dont remember seeing the missus for the entire evening as we "networked" and spoke to everyone in the room. Looking back I wish we could've done it together. We're determined this wont happen on the big day, might cuff myself to her if need be :-)

back to topic, the food tasting session was amazing! think for many people coming it could be the best meal they've ever had :-) and I really hope it is

cheers btw :-D
