Keep in mind, there are three kinds of brides out there: Those who keep it together throughout the engagement and completely lose it on the wedding day; those who are a mess until they walk through the doors of the church — and then miraculously regain their composure; and those who are a little unbearable from the time they start planning the wedding till the time life settles into some kind of routine after the marriage.

(There is a fourth, rare bride type — the one who is completely normal during her engagement and has a great time at the wedding. If this is your girl, acknowledge how amazing she is.)

So if your bride does not appear to be enjoying herself on your wedding day, don't attribute it to anything other than nerves. Yes, she loves you; yes, she's glad she married you; and yes, she will return to acting like herself in no time.
