Though it’s aimed at soon-to-be-married gay couples, this list of wedding and marriage advice<\/a> is pretty universal.<\/p>\n

There will not be nearly enough time at the reception to spend all the time you want with all the people you want to. They’ll understand and will be happy for the time you can spare them.
\nSmashing wedding cake into each other’s face is strictly amateur hour.
\nIt’s your best man’s (or the equivalent’s) job to remind people that at a wedding reception, as at the Academy Awards, speeches are best very short. You didn’t spend an obscene amount on the catering just to have it grow cold as Uncle Jim blathers on.
\nThere will be drama of some sort at the reception. If the wedding party lets any of it reach the newlyweds, they haven’t done their job.
\nDon’t fill up on bread. You’ll have to dance later.<\/p>\n
