We all wake up on our wedding day with the exact same thought: “AHHHH…what could possibly go wrong today?” But, like Lindsay Lohan in a common sense factory, fate has a way of blowing us off course.

Every newly betrothed couple assumes that their event will go off without a hitch. But there’s one big mitigating factor in this lofty assumption. Namely, your day’s success is entirely dependent on other humans. And, unfortunately, that species is still a few sardines short of a bucket of chum.

So you have two choices. You can either freak out over minor mishaps or serve yourself up a big helping of cool cucumber. My advice? Ditch the stress ball and take the time to stop and smell the squirting roses. Weddings aren’t just for tears and smiles; there’s also a little room for laughs. So when Glitch shows up at your wedding with his date, Blooper, just relax and roll with the punches. And by all means, make sure to get a good picture.
