If you're in charge of the rings, ask your jeweler if it's possible to add a special note to your bands. Consider including a small engraving on the inside of the rings that includes your initials, your wedding date or a simple "I love you." Going the extra mile to add a personalized touch to rings you'll both wear for the rest of your days is a great way to express your gratitude for your partner. Not everyone thinks of the little ways to show how much they care...

Is your spouse-to-be obsessed with sports or the Great Gatsby? Give a nod to his/her passion with a small display at the wedding. Have guests type notes on a vintage typewriter or ask your baker to make up a special groom's cake with your fiance's favorite team's logo on it. Keep it a secret until the day of the wedding to really up the wow-factor!

Don't let your wedding day go by without savoring a quiet moment together. After all, your wedding is supposed to be about the two of you! Sneak away after the ceremony for a private kiss as newlyweds or sit at a sweetheart table so you can breathe, eat, and take in the scene. Whatever you do, take time for each other in the midst of all the wedding day excitement. When you see the giddy look on each other's faces, you'll be glad you did.
