The Center of Attention
For most brides, their wedding day is the day they have been dreaming about since they started playing Barbies! Every detail has been planned, including walking down the aisle, hearing: "and you may kiss the bride," and having your first dance with "Ken."
The thought of all eyes on you, makes you feel extra special. For some this is wonderful, for others this is terrifying. Just the thought of actually having to say your vows in front of all your guests, makes you weak in the knees.  The thought of all eyes on you, may make you feel extra special. For some this is wonderful, for others this is terrifying. Just the thought of actually having to say your vows in front of all your guests, makes you weak in the knees.
If the thought of being the center of attention terrifies you, here are a few suggestions:
  • Instead of the "traditional" shower, have a couple's shower. This way you both will share in the "limelight".
  • Sit at a regular reception table instead of a head table.
  • Have your first dance include your family and friends.
  • Be sure to tell your family and friends that you would like to keep a relatively low profile, so they won't plan any surprise parties for you.
  • At the ceremony, include special people to do a reading, sing, speak. Include children.
