Be proud of your body art and don’t take any flack from other people. You love your art, it defines you. & obviously your spouse loves your art too =)... That’s all that matters is the 2 of you. Sarah

First, focus on your marriage- if you do, planning your wedding will be less stressful and more enjoyable. Grace

Relax..no matter what goes wrong (unless the bride/groom or officiate doesn't show)...you will be married when it's all over. Melissa

Remember that your wedding is about you and your spouse, not about what anyone else wants. Sheena

It's YOUR time to shine, and you both should shine however you please. Stephanie

Follow your heart. If following your heart means eloping, do it because it is your wedding day. And you shouldn't be in tears over the planning aspect. Shannon

Do what YOU want, and don't be a people pleaser! I spent the first half of planning worrying about everyone else. The stress of trying to make everyone content was unbearable. It's you and your soul mate’s day. Stephanie

Important is knowing what you want and standing towards it. NOT letting others tell you what YOU LIKE and what you need. Getting Ideas YES but getting TOLD what YOU HAVE to HAVE a big NO NO. Enjoy, have fun and do as you like it ..in ...Abraham
