Getting Personal.co.uk has revealed the top 20 things that cause stress for a bride on and before her wedding day, so we take a look!

Weddings on Female First

Weddings on Female First

Unwanted wedding guests- There is always one person who you don’t want there but you feel you ought to invite.

Bridesmaids complaining about dresses- Its hard trying to get  address to fit several body shapes and sizes and if one doesn’t like it but the rest do- what do you do?

Negative comments about bride’s choices- This is just bad form- now it’s back to the drawing board.

Family politics due to step-parents- If people can’t be in each other's company for one day for the sake of the people they love, it's a really sorry state of affairs.

Mother-in-law taking over- Its not her wedding its yours!

Complaints about the seating plan- The meal lasts about 2 hours- suck it up and smile at your neighbor!

Not enough help planning the wedding- Although we like to hold the reins it would help if people chipped in sometimes- there is a lot to do people!

A disappointing hen-do- You have imagined it your whole life and suddenly you are sat, not very drunk, after everyone has gone home wondering why you didn’t do something else.

A misbehaving best-man- He teases you and says he's going to get your man a stripper and you spend your entire hen do worrying about that instead of enjoying yourself.

Photos being tagged on Facebook- That is why we have an album so you don’t go posting unedited pictures of our big day for everyone to judge.

The bridesmaids putting on weight- The dress needs to fit on the day- so be realistic at your dress fitting girlies.

Pressure to look great in the dress- All eyes are on you, if your bra is peeping through your low backed dress or your hair is falling out, people will start to gossip.

Stories from the stag-do- They take you to the edge and back to groomsmen and you are left with the horrible feeling that you have been cheated on at the last minute.

Looking her best in professional photographs- Until the pictures arrive you are freaking out that the camera has obviously added thsoe 10 pounds to your stomach.

Choosing food everyone will like- You have veggies, dairy free peeps, gluten intolerant guests- you need to be sure that everyone can eat something.

Bad weather- You worry that you won’t be able to have any outside pics in your album.

Bridesmaid outshining the bride- She’s skinnier, prettier and looks hotter in her dress than you. Damn it!

Too many children coming to the wedding- Having kids running around while you are having your first dance can take the shine off this moment. Is this a creche? No, it's just my wedding day!

Wanting a better wedding than a friend’s- There is always that couple you know who have it better in every way and you just know that they are going to make your wedding look like a house party when they get hitched.

Not wanting guests to get bored- You want some entertainment but not too much- as it can turn into a bit of a circus, so getting the balance right is really hard!
