1. Be true to yourself – while leading up to the wedding, you will find that you have to stop doing certain things that you regularly did in order to get everything ready. Try going back to these things that you previously gave up, or you could try finding a new hobby. Your husband decided to marry you because he loves you, not because he wanted to mould you into something you’re not.
2. The date night – just because you’re now a married person, it doesn’t mean all courting should be thrown out of the window. Try to make things as exciting as possible. Try taking turns in arranging nights that the both of you can enjoy, every week.
3. The girl’s getaway – you can use this moment to arrange meet-ups with your friends and talk about things other than the wedding. It’s very important that you re-establish the relationships that you had with your friends prior to the wedding.
4. Your to-do list – it’s highly unlikely that you’d like to begin your new marriage with a whole load of things lingering over your head. Make sure you finish all your thank you cards, settle all disputes you might have had with any vendors, create an album of your wedding, and make sure all loose ends have been tidied up, as soon as you possibly can.
5. Clean up your home – now that you are married, and the wedding day is long gone, there are probably around 10 centrepiece tables, a pair of white shoes and a dress that will likely never be worn again.
