Getting married is the best thing you will ever do - after having your own children, your wedding day is the single best day of your life for so many reasons.

Firstly, it has been so long in the making and therefore the anticipation of the day has months to build up. Naturally, by the time it actually arrives you will both be so excited that you will be ready to burst.

There's all the physical attention that you are going to get. Most brides think nothing of having their hair done, nails manicured, toes pedicured, maybe a fake tan applied, eyebrows waxed, legs waxed etc. And, it goes without saying that you'll be wearing new underwear, new perfume and your make-up will probably be applied by a professional. There is no way that all this lot can fail to make you feel like a queen, even before you get near the dress.....

....The dress? Well, as far as the dress is concerned, this is probably the single most expensive item of clothing you have ever bought. Even if it didn't cost it, it should make you feel like a million dollars. Putting this on will make you feel so amazing, especially when you see the tear in your dad's eye when he sees you in it. Topping it all off will be the tiara, veil and shoes. By now, you should be feeling like this is the most incredible day of your life.

When you arrive at the ceremony, knowing you look better than you have ever looked, soak up the atmosphere of seeing everyone you know. They will too be sharing in your excitement and watch their faces as they see you in all your glory. It will be quite moving, I assure you. This will give you some inkling as to how your partner will be when he sees you....

The best bit of the day is yet to come and that is when you say your vows to each other. Looking into your partners eyes and saying those all important words will be indescribable. Every bit of you will want to melt into each other and you temporarily forget that you are not in some Hollywood movie because it feels so perfect. It's as if your whole life has been waiting for that moment. That intense love for another person is an incredible feeling that you will never forget.

After all the excitement you have your wonderful honeymoon to look forward to. This is a wonderful opportunity to be together and talk about your amazing day that was even more perfect than you imagined it would be. You should really enjoy this time together as no other holiday will ever be quite as special as this one.

You will still have all the joy of opening presents together and pouring over the wedding pictures together on your return. And, more important than anything else, you have your future marriage to enjoy together. No matter what life throws at you, you will always have a lifetime of special wedding day memories to share together.
