Any last minute advice?

[Uptown Thrunk]

Don't eat the week before.

Fainting during the ceremony adds an extra level of excitement.

[Giga Hertz]

Should I refrain from drinking, too?

Take it slow. The day is going to go so fast and your body might ache by the end of it (especially if you're dancing). Talk with each table of peeps if you can, especially if you don't dismiss by rows.

Don't call her Rachel

Oh I bet it will!

(especially if you're dancing).

Oh. That.

Yeah, as much as I'd like to get going, I'm looking forward to talking to some of my friends who I haven't seen in ages (over a year in some cases). I barely get to see my grooms men as it is.

That's one of my biggest fears.

Don't loose the ring.
Don't throw up on the bride.
Don't brag about her to your friends how you got the consolation prize.
Definitely never tell her that her sister or mom looks better.
If she ever asks if these pants make her butt look big, change the subject.

All kidding aside, the one thing I can say that's serious......

Never let a moment of anger allow you the chance to destroy something wonderful God's given you and your fiance. Your marriage. Sometimes it really doesn't matter who's right or wrong and the words you use can come back to haunt you in ways you will regret. Patience, empathy, and wisdom. You'll need those 3.

Well, that's my attempts at a joke and serious advice.

Three or four of my former students get married ever year. So I've written a good bit on this subject on my blog. None of it is really last minute, but it is stuff which will make the rest of your life run smoother.

Just remember to breathe and not stress the small stuff. In the end, you'll be married and that's all that matters.

Check.

Don't throw up on the bride.

I won't make nay promises.

Don't brag about her to your friends how you got the consolation prize.

Definitely won first place here.

Definitely never tell her that her sister or mom looks better.

Especially since her sister is 12.

If she ever asks if these pants make her butt look big, change the subject.

90's TV and standup comedy has made me aware of that one.

Thanks very much I really hate arguing and conflict, so I liek to think I'll avoid those. But I know I'm not perfect (yet). :P

Indeed. I'm very much looking forward to the wedding part being over. I think her mother is starting to drive both of us nuts. :P

Never grant her admin privileges on a computer. Ever.
Don't get one of those tacky joint Facebook accounts.
Leave the toilet seat down.
Always spray the disinfectant after you poop.

That's okay, she has her own laptop. The worst she's ever done is spyware, and she's learned form that.

She's just as against them as I am, thankfully.

Leave the toilet seat down.

Again, 90's TV and stand up comedy. :P

I'll have you know my poop smells awesome!

[bravesfan007]

You could always skip the disinfectant and go with the Poo-Pourri. I have been intrigued by that and some people swear by it.
