Instructions

1. Avoid having your bachelor party the night before. Even if you make it on time, the day will be so hectic and nerve-wracking that having the bubble-guts from a dozen Tequila shots will not help.

2. Be ready and be prepared. From the biggest detail to the smallest item, have everything ready. Whether it's your tux, your groomsmen down to putting gas in the car and having mints, have everything ready relieves the stress.

3. Prepare to take some abuse. Today is the absolutely most stressful day of your wife's life. Bridezilla will breathe atomic breath on you for just about anything, whether you can control it or not. It's not her talking, it's more stress than she can handle. Love her and accept these anxiety moments for what the small moment they'll last.

4. Be flexible and be rigid. There will be situations that will require you to go with the flow. Be like water, ready to change direction, morph and flow. All your planning will be subject to last-minute occurrences. Be rigid when it comes to letting nothing interfere with the purpose of the day.

5. Do not get drunk. Being drunk at your wedding sets up numerous bad situations.

6. Remember what the day is about. You love your bride and just about everyone you both know have joined to wish you well. Enjoy it and focus on the positive to get you through the not-so positive moments.
