Plan carefully. By being well-organized, you will likely feel less stress on your wedding day. (Read 1 Corinthians 14:40.) Wayne, from Taiwan, says: "A few days before our wedding, we had a small meeting with those who volunteered to help us with the event. We discussed our arrangements and rehearsed some portions of the wedding to ensure it would go smoothly." Our of respect for your guests, do your best to keep things on time.
Many problems can be averted by your thinking ahead where it is common for uninvited guest to show up at a wedding reception, consider what you can do to prevent this from happening. Make sure that any relatives who are not in the truth know what they can expect, and explain your view of certain wedding customs. You could share with them the article "What Happens at a Wedding of Jehovah's Witnesses?" found on jw.org. To help you stay in control of what takes place at your reception, consider having a mature brother serve as "the director of the feast." (John 2:8) If you clearly communicate your wedding plans to him, he can help make sure that the wedding remains dignified and goes as planned.
You may feel somewhat overwhelmed as you consider everything that is involved in planning your wedding. However, remember that your wedding is just one day. It is the first day of what can become a beautiful life together as servants of Jehovah. Do your best to keep your wedding simple and dignified. Trust in Jehovah. With his guidance, you will be able to organize a wedding that you will look back on with warm and happy memories and no regrets. - PSALM 37:3, 4.
