#5 Having an entourage
Move over Bieber: you have five bridesmaids, three flower girls, a posse of groomsmen and even your dad on hand. Bride coming through - no photos, please! Oh go on then, one for the album...
#6 Taking a 'helper' with you to the toilet
Generally reserved to the realm of nightclub toilets, on your W-day it's perfectly acceptable to have your 'maids help out with your dress in the ladies room.
#7 PDAs
Normally, you won't even hold your fiancé's hand in Sainsburys. Today, you're hugging, kissing and even slow-dancing in front of everyone you know. Take that, English reservedness! Embrace it - after all, the whole day is about your love for each other - and to the romance-Scrooge friends saying you should get a room? Tell them you already have one, and it's the honeymoon suite!
#8 Making a speech
Because why should the men have all the fun? You have thank-yous to say too, and then there's that stand-up routine you've been working on...
#9 Eating everything put in front of you
You've been up since the crack of dawn, you're drinking a lot of champagne and, let's face it, the wedding diet ended the second you put that dress on this morning. Keep your energy up and enjoy the food you've paid for!
#3 Not carrying anything all day
Normally, you wouldn't leave home without your sack - sorry, handbag - of belongings: phone, make-up, spare shoes, diary, purse, snack... This, however, is the one day where you can waltz about like the Queen sans both cash and mobile. By all means, bring along a clutch with a few big-day essentials, but let someone else do the carrying for you; after all, you'll have your hands full with your bouquet and champagne flute.
#4 Making an entrance
Whether it's a helicopter, double-decker bus or tank, everyone will bend over backwards to ensure you arrive in style. No entrance is too extravagant.
