I urge brides to think about their battles. Don't look back on a decision that was made; once it's done it's done. You've got to concentrate on what the wedding day is about. You can't keep worrying that your mom wanted ecru paper for the invitations and you wanted white.

With a second reception, you get to enjoy the day again in a much mroe relaxed manner... Plus, you get to relive the love and excitement of your wedding all over again. It's double your pleasure!
