Day Before the Wedding

Have no more than two alcoholic drinks. Examples of one drink would be a 340 ml bottle of beer, 125 ml of wine, and or 45 ml of distilled beverage. Although alcohol may reduce feelings of insecurity, tension and discomfort, if taken in excess, it will affect your performance and leave you with a hangover the following day. Waddling down the aisle will not impress your guests or your new spouse. Also, alcohol acts as a diuretic and also raises blood pressure. Therefore, it is wise to avoid excessive amounts. Choose no more than two drinks the night before your wedding day.

If you are going to have coffee, unless decaffeinated, do not have more than you usually have. Caffeine is a stimulant which causes your heart rate to increase; it may keep you awake the night before your wedding. You may be anxious enough; you do not need any extra caffeine. Colas, tea, and some medications also contain caffeine; be aware of this and if you can, avoid them.

Forget taking vitamin and mineral supplements. They do not provide your body with energy; they do not control stress as some labels lead you to believe. Rely on healthy foods to give your body the energy, vitamins and minerals it needs.

Pack some food and beverages for the time period between your ceremony and the reception.

Avoid trying new foods. You may not digest them well and experience abdominal discomfort.

It is a good idea to exercise the day before your wedding day. Do only as much or slightly more physical activity than you are used to. This is not a day to overexert yourself. If you do, you can expect sore muscles the following day. A good walk on your own will do you wonders, not only physically, but mentally. And after that nice long walk, get a good night’s sleep; tomorrow, there will be no time for rest.
