Tip-Tastic Tuesday

Posted on | June 29, 2010 | 3 Comments

“The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.” -Oscar Wilde

People are always asking me for wedding advice. Period. No matter where I am – cab, cocktail party, colonoscopy appointment (ok, ok, I was at the dentist but alliteration is such a nice literary device, isn’t it?). It seems that the whole world is either getting married or knows someone that is getting married, and of course wanting what else but some free advice.

So, following the wise words of Oscar, I thought I would take the last Tuesday of each month to share some little gems of knowledge with you. Yes, this means you no longer have to hit me up at rand-o places… (you know who you are crazy-woman-on-line-in-the-bathroom-at-Iron-Man-2!) looking for that one golden nugget.

Tip #1: Have the groom’s speech be as early in the night as possible!

I know this sounds like a big “duh,”, but you’ve all seen it happen and it ain’t pretty.

And gentlemen, I have heard the whole Dutch courage argument, but unless you want your speech (which, chances are, will be videotaped for all of modernity) to be reminiscent of Mitch Martin a la Old School, please, I beg of you…speech first, drinkie second…capisce?!
