Stress, tension, and drama are the three wicked stepsisters of your fairytale affair, but it\u2019s your day and your kingdom\u2014banish them forever with these five simple tips.<b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Make your own rules\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lay all the old traditions on the table, sit down with your partner, and go through the norms and expectations one at a time to decide what kind of day reflects your personalities best. The worst thing you can do is fill your ceremony and reception with what you think <i>should <\/i>be done, rather than what you want to do. Traditions can be beautiful and meaningful, and they will be even more so if you\u2019re including them because the meaning is personal. My husband and I had a rehearsal brunch instead of dinner, with the rehearsal afterwards\u2026on the day of our evening wedding. It made more sense for our out-of-town guests, and didn\u2019t add extra stress because it worked for us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Treat your wedding like a party<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably heard this saying before, but take it literally. While planning my own wedding, I sat down and thought through how I usually approach the planning of a house party. It\u2019s something I look forward to, and I pay attention to all of the details, clean the house, and do everything that I can to make sure everyone\u2019s having a good time. If our house doesn\u2019t look perfect on the day of the party, it\u2019s not the end of the world. I didn\u2019t want to let small details get in the way of fully enjoying my wedding, so I frequently reminded myself that the day was \u201cJust a party.\u201d<b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Know your priorities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Instead of micro-managing all of the details, take a deep breath and focus on the true purpose of the day: to commit yourself to loving the best man you\u2019ve ever met\u2014and to hear him tell all of your friends and family that he chooses you forever. When you&#8217;re feeling frazzled, let that truth melt you a little bit, and relax!<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><strong>4. Remember the golden rule<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do to others as you would have them do to you. Never was this more important than at a wedding. Yes, it\u2019s your day, but the easiest way to cut the drama is to treat everyone involved with respect and kindness. In other words, don\u2019t be a Bridezilla. Try not to bankrupt your bridesmaids or snub a family member. As the bride, you have the power to set the tone of the entire affair. Use that power for good!<b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Have fun!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s just me, but I would regret letting stress or anger cloud my wedding day much more than I would regret having the wrong floral arrangements in the bouquets or watching my bridesmaids walk down the aisle to the wrong song. Everything may not go entirely as planned, but the one thing you have complete control over is how much you let that affect you. Think positively, remember why this day is happening, and smile!<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0;
