8 Things It’s Fine To Do At Your Wedding That Others Might Tell You It’s Not

 

As soon as you say you're getting married, everyone and their mother, and their mother's dog, seems to have an opinion on it. And, there are so many things that people will say you have to do or you absolutely can't do on your big day. But, remember, it is exactly that… yours and your partner's big day, so it's really up to you what you do. If that isn't in line with most people's ideas of what a traditional wedding should look like, then that's just too bad!
