have a few minutes warning of your bride turning up, and by this stage most of your work will, or at least should be done.  Just make sure any transport you've arrange to the reception is on time and ready, get into position and try to enjoy things.  At the very least you should start having fun by dinner. The main tip I can give you is not to panic.  There are so many things that can go wrong, and she might not realize just how much you've done on the day, as long as you're married and still love each other at the end then you can probably call that a win. Such great advice for grooms. I think us brides tend to have quite a pampering, relaxed morning for the most part, especially if the venue can be prepared in advance -- although I'm sure Anna didn't with all the snow drama!
