WEDDING ADVICE

* Create a unique service that pleases you and your fiance'.

* Planning a wedding is very time consuming.  The more you plan ahead, the better.

* Put a friend or family member in charge of the service's details - like who walks down the isle with whom and in what order.

* Organize the day with the guests in mind.  For example, avoid having the guests standing around doing nothing while you get your photos taken.

* Communicate with all members of the wedding party about the importance of punctuality to the rehearsal and wedding. 

* Relax and enjoy the day.  When things happen (you trip, a cell phone goes off, your fiance' drops the ring, etc.) just forget about it.  You'll have a better time and so will your guests.  

* If either (or both) of you have children, include them in the wedding service.  It's a great way to show that they're special and to celebrate the start of a new family.

* If you're serving alcohol, make sure no one drives drunk.  Ask someone to be in charge of arranging rides and calling cabs.

* There are alternatives to diamonds.  The diamond industry has a history of exploiting people.  Consider an alternative and use the savings for something practical, like paying bills or putting a down payment on a home.
