On your wedding day take a moment and just soak up everything\u2026 what is happening, what it looks like, and how you feel. It really does go by so quickly and I am very glad I did that. Also not everything is going to go perfectly, but just remember you are there to marry your best friend and partner for life. At the end of the day that is the most important thing. Enjoy each moment building up to the big day. Finally, involve your fianc\u00e9, family, and friends; they have great ideas and love to help.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcf7: Mighty Fine Productions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Monique is the perfect Maggie Bride to feature for our beauty theme this month; her big blue eyes and dazzling smile are a makeup artist\u2019s dream!
