Oh god. How's it going? My top tip is keep it simple and fun. Don't try and please anyone else except yourselves. The day goes by in a flash and the last thing you want is to stress about it being 'perfect'. Seen a few folk lose it at tiny details on the day.

Oh, swerve inviting anyone you think you have to impress or will gimp about the venue, outfits, etc. They're not your friend abd your day will be so much better for their absence.

Honestly it’s not been too bad so far. We decided to scale down pretty early on before we booked our venue and that, so the guest list for the day is relatively small. None of that extended family who you haven’t seen in 5 years nonsense.

The fiancé is probably the most organised person I’ve ever met too, so that helps. She’s had actual spreadsheets drawn up with all the vendors/costs and seating plans on and everything for months, so I’m just here for the ride. Have to stick my hand in my pocket every now and then and offer an opinion on something every so often.

That sounds boss tbf and it’s something we toyed with the idea of doing, just pissing off somewhere and eloping. But for her, sharing the day with her nearest and dearest was something she thought she’d regret down the line, which I thought was fair enough.

We were actually planning Gretna Green just the 2 of us, then millions died, but we saved a fortune.

It sounds pretty much how our wedding panned out. Each to their own of course, but these huge, extravagant weddings that cost an arm and a leg wasn't for us.

I've always had the mantra that it should be your day to enjoy rather than having to do x, y and z for other people to enjoy, although it ultimately brings you stress.

We had the people we wanted, it was nice and relaxed and every one had a great time enjoying the party atmosphere. Good luck to you both and hope it's great.

Concur. All you want is veto power, which you only exercise on the worst one or two ideas.

At my own wedding, one of my groomsmen explained what he had heard on the radio as an oblong-ball metaphor for a young person's wedding. "It's like this. The bride is the quarterback. Her mother is the coach. The groom is the extra point kicker. Your job is really easy, so if you screw it up, everyone will be really mad at you."
