These are common questions for seniors re-entering the dating scene and I claim to have these answers and hundreds more. Apps to talk to strangers is a large resource with hands-on advice and straight-talking guidance about dating for seniors.
For example, your wedding day. The greatest day of your life. Well, it should be…and it will be with some careful planning.
Here are some handy tips:
1) Delegate - On the day the bride and groom are the stars of the show. They should at no stage be involved in talking to the receptionist about Aunt Doris’s room or the fact that the lock is broken on the gent's toilets. Make a list of who is in charge of what, most people will be honored to help. Put someone in a charge of lapel flowers, someone in charge of checking everyone in (if at a hotel), someone to show people the seating plan, etc.
2) Rehearse - Run through the day as you see it going and look at the timings of things. Allow a little breathing space in between things like the meal and the photos. Things can crop up and the last thing you want is to be rushing. Guests don’t mind standing about free chat and having a drink, it's what people do at weddings.
3) Don’t fuss about others - The day is your day. Don’t worry too much if Brenda from the office hasn’t got a seat next to Malcolm, let them sort it out themselves. Don’t feel like you have to run the whole event, let the event manager sort things out, you have paid him enough to do it!
4) Suppliers - Make a list of the people you have booked and ring them seven days to ensure they have the correct time, the correct venue, and they know what they are doing. Leave nothing to chance, it will also put your mind at ease on the day
5) Enjoy it! - It will be the fastest day of your life and hopefully, you’ll only do it once. Make sure you are not wishing you had done this and that the day after. Do it all, make it special, and just relax…there is a way around most things when everyone pulls together.
