Virtual hen Party: Come and give some fun, cheery advice to DeterminedandSpecialMum before she ties the knot!

[OiMissus]

DSM is getting married! Let's give her a 24 hour virtual hen party and warn her of what she can expect as a wife. (Fun, cheery advice and warnings please to send her to her wedding day in a state of bliss.)

Post wedding advice: as someone else said: his job = the bins. Very minor, very simple. Another responsibility: tech. And kit.
Men like tech. Men like kit. Don't you worry about that. BUT if it goes too far, you are allowed to ban "kit" and "tech".
When DH moved in, he gave away his Xbox and play station as he realised such kit was incompatible with our relationship. It's now DH's job to research tech and kit (tvs and navy monitors) but he knows to present his findings and I'll decide what we'll get.

"navy" monitors, and Somali pirate spotters...
Maybe not. I meant baby monitors.

On the day- waterproof mascara! The chauffeur telling me I looked beautiful and my dad saying he was proud of me on the way to the church set me off.

Also sneak away from your guests together for 10 minutes at some point during the day, by the time you've spoken to everyone after the sit-down meal it'll be surprisingly late and you'll realise you haven't actually really seen each other all day.

And I know everyone says it but the time really does fly, just enjoy every minute of it. Relax, a few weeks later you really won't care that it rained/the wine was served in the wrong glasses etc.

Yes I second that, enjoy every minute and ear sth or you will be drunk after first glass of champagne!

I think communication is key. If sth bothers you, talk about it immediately, don't let it fester, that's how resentment builds. And take time out for the two of you once a week where you don't talk about the kids at all, a date night or something.

Extra tissues for day sorted

Thanks for all the advice ladies will take it all on board.

I sceond waterproof masrara and no eye liner on the day.

"To keep the marriage brimming from an ever-loving cup,

When you're wrong admit it. When you're right shut up!"
