I watched it again the other night and I started thinking about what I would have done in Toula's position - all the lessons we can learn about what to do (and what not to do!) when it comes to planning your wedding.
So here is my list of Dos and Don'ts, My Big Fat Greek Wedding style.
DO take care of your appearance. If you don't like something, DO something about it! You might be surprised with the results.
DON'T lie to your family. Honesty is the best policy, even if you think they won't like what you have to say!
DO make sacrifices and compromises with your partner. Be prepared to give and take! If something is important to them, it should be important to you.
DON'T let others make important decisions about your wedding. Stand up for yourself! Dont say you like something if you don't - again honesty is the best way to go.
DO incorporate your family's traditions, if they are right for you. It will make your wedding more personal and special.
DON'T let your bridemaids make decisions for you (or steal the show). Better yet, pick bridesmaids who won't want to do this!
DO pick out your own wedding dress. DON'T let your aunt do your makeup (unless she's a professional!) You want to look your best on your wedding day, and lets face it. Those pictures are going to be around for a while! You don't want to cringe every time you look at them.
And last but not least, DO enjoy yourself. Regardless of anything else that's happened in the lead up, have fun! You only get one wedding day (hopefully), so enjoy it!
Opa!
