Odd 7 Things Not to Say to A Bride onher wedding day

"You Look Better than the Last One"

You should be especially careful when you are talking to the second (or third, or fourth) bride of a groom. Make sure that you do not compare them to the last ones in any way, even if the latest bride does look the best out of all of them.

 

"When He Was Mine..."

Whether you have a past history with the groom or not, the wedding day (or anytime near the wedding), is not the time to bring up the past. Make sure that you keep your attention focused on the bride's relationship and not on the relationship you once had.

 

"It Looks Better This Way"

From flowers to makeup to dress length and anything in between, be sure that you do not give the bride an unwanted opinion. Try to keep your feelings neutral and only give her your opinion when she asks for it.

 

"When Will the Babies Come?"

It's exciting to think of all the new things and milestones in life that will come from a marriage, but before, during, and immediately after the wedding you should refrain from asking the bride about her next big milestone. It can be a touchy subject, especially at weddings and you do not want to have her deal with the pressure of a wedding and thinking about kids all at the same time.

 

"When I Had My Wedding..."

If you are one of the many people that will be helping a bride plan, but are already married, make sure that you do not push your opinions on her. Like everything else about a wedding, and an upcoming wedding, you want the focus to be all about the bride, and not about the wedding that you had 10 years ago and what you thought was the best decision for you.

 

"Where's the Honeymoon?"

With the way the economy is in today's culture, asking couples where they are taking their first exotic vacation together might be a reminder that they can't afford the vacation. Many people choose to have a stay-cation after their wedding. A more appropriate question that you should ask the bride is "What are your plans for after the wedding?" This gives her an opportunity to get excited over what she is doing, whether it be a hot exotic getaway or a romantic week spent together and alone in their new home.

 

"So, You Think He's The One."

This is one of the most common and annoying questions that brides to be are asked. It is a very obvious question that usually has an obvious answer. If she didn't think he was the one, she probably wouldn't be marrying him. Make sure that you stay away from obvious and redundant questions that could be potentially annoying and cause the bride more stress than what she already has from the rigors of planning her own wedding.
