10 THINGS NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT THE WEDDING DAY

No matter how many weddings you've attended before, or how many times you've been a bridesmaid, there are some things you just don't find out about until your wedding day.

TEN MINUTES BEFORE THE CEREMONY IS THE MOST NERVE-RACKING PART OF THE WEDDING DAY

The moments before you walk down the aisle can be filled with nerves like no other. It's understandable; you're on the verge of making a monumental choice in front of your beloved friends and family. Keep in mind that your partner awaits you at the end of this path, and together you'll embark on a joyous celebration, not to mention the very reason you agreed to this journey in the first place.

YOU'LL DEFINITELY CRY

We can't keep this a secret: shedding tears is practically unavoidable. And since you already know the waterworks are coming, the smartest approach is to be ready. Have tissues conveniently on hand, and if you're a bride, consider wearing waterproof makeup (or even opting for eyelash extensions). Keep mascara and lipstick easily accessible for swift touch-ups.

YOU'LL BE AMAZED BY THE LOVE AND SUPPORT OF YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

They gathered for a single purpose—celebrating you! You and your future spouse will be the center of attention, receiving undivided focus from everyone. With numerous guests to engage with and countless photos to capture, you might even find it challenging to sit down for dinner. Amidst the affectionate cheek pinches from your grandmother and playful punches from college friends, you'll be overwhelmed by the love and support of those surrounding you.

YOU’LL WANT SOME ALONE TIME

Indeed, the overwhelming emotions on your wedding day may inspire you to steal a precious few moments solely for yourself or as a couple. These cherished minutes hold immense significance as you prepare for the future or relish the joyous occasion alongside your newlywed partner.

YOU MIGHT BE A LITTLE EXHAUSTED

Let's be honest, the night before your wedding is not going to be a restful one. With all the preoccupation about the seating arrangements, potential conflicts with your mother, and the general anticipation for the big day, sleep will be in short supply. Here's a helpful tip: Embrace the power of under-eye concealer—it will become your closest ally.

IT WON'T ALL GO AS PLANNED

No matter how small or significant the issue, our top tip for brides in Ontario and Quebec is to persevere and focus on the larger perspective. Can the problem be easily resolved? Will it have a substantial impact in the long term? Are your guests enjoying themselves? Are you having a great time? If these questions have straightforward answers, there's no need to worry. Simply continue to relish in your celebration, and feel free to assign tasks to wedding planners and family members to avoid unnecessary drama.

THE MOST MAGICAL MOMENT WILL BE WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT

Prepare to be pleasantly surprised during your big day or weekend. Whether it's a precious moment stolen with your future spouse, an embrace from your father, or an unexpected heartfelt speech by your college roommate, these unexpected moments could hold immense significance for you.

YOU'LL FEEL DIFFERENT

No matter how long you and your partner have been living together, getting married legally brings an undeniable sense of officiality. Whether it's a subtle shift or a significant transformation, it will undoubtedly feel like the genuine and authentic step it truly is!
