Your wedding is tomorrow – what are you supposed to do to pass the time? Instead of pacing around an empty room all day, here’s what to do the night before the\u00a0wedding.<\/p>\n

\"night<\/a>
“Is it my wedding day yet?”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Eat a ‘safe’ meal<\/h2>\n

Those unfortunate souls (myself included) with\u00a0lactose or gluten intolerance know exactly what I’m talking about. If you KNOW avocado gives you chronic stomachaches, DO NOT eat it. Nobody needs that kind of stress\/pain on their wedding day.<\/p>\n

Pack your sleepover bag<\/h2>\n

Now – imagine you arrive at your hotel after your wedding and you’ve forgotten your sleepover bag. How are you going to wash your face? What are you going to wear the next day – your wedding dress again? That’s a walk of shame I’m not sure I’d like to participate in.<\/p>\n

\"night
“I swear I looked prettier yesterday.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Relax yourself<\/h2>\n

When I say relax, I definitely don’t mean pop a few valium and wash it down with a large glass of wine. You want to be awake for your wedding, right? I’m talking about primping and priming – think manicures, pedicures – a long bubble bath perhaps?<\/p>\n

\"night
I’ll say it again – no wine, no\u00a0valium.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

Confirm payment and double check with vendors<\/h2>\n

This is probably (definitely) one of the most important things to do in the days before your wedding. Make sure the vendors<\/a> that are making your wedding possible, are actually attending the wedding.<\/p>\n

\"night
“So… Is it possible to get married without a celebrant?”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Do something fun<\/h2>\n

Get your bridesmaids<\/a> together the night before\u00a0for a sleepover and engage in activities you find fun. For myself and my girlfriends, that means sitting around ignoring one another and stuffing our faces with food. For you, perhaps this means watching girly movies while giving each other massages. Each to their own. \u00af\\_(\u30c4)_\/\u00af<\/p>\n

\"night<\/a>
Just don’t eat anything ‘unsafe’ for your stomach.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Say thank you<\/h2>\n

This one probably depends on whether you’re a bridezilla or not. If you truly\u00a0are\u00a0<\/em>grateful for the hard work your family and friends have put into your wedding, let them know!<\/p>\n

\"night<\/a>
“And thank YOU floofy dog, for being so goddamn floofy.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Set your alarm<\/h2>\n

If your hairdressers appointment<\/a> is in the early AM, it only makes sense to get up in the obscene hours of the morning. Make sure you set your alarm – you don’t want to miss those crucial hours of putting your hair and face together to make you\u00a0acceptable enough to be wedded.<\/p>\n

\"night<\/a>
“Hairdressers at 11am? Wake up at 5am.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Get a good night’s sleep<\/h2>\n

Let’s see: you’ve avoided dubious food, you have refrained from drinking yourself into a ‘relaxed state’, and you’ve set your alarm for a disturbingly early wake up call. Congrats, you’re finally ready for those three hours of beauty sleep!<\/p>\n
