You've been to more than a few weddings in your lifetime, and you've probably heard far more than your fair share of advice about the obvious wedding pitfalls. But there are a few more subtle wedding miscalculations — we can't really call them disasters — that even the most well-organized, well-meaning brides and grooms can fall prey to. These are not the kinds of things that ruin a wedding day forever, but they are things that you may find yourself mulling over a few days after the nuptials. It was great, you may find yourself thinking, and it would have been just perfect, if only: If only we hadn't stayed until the last guests were climbing into their cars Yes, it's true. Even the bride and groom can overstay their welcome. Most polite guests will feel as though they should wait for the two of you to leave before they take off themselves. So to keep them from feeling weird about departing before you do — and to avoid seeing the sad image of the vacant, post-party reception site — leave the boozy dancing, the doling out of floral centerpieces, and the collecting of stray purses to your mother, your friends, or your wedding consultant. Go to your hotel room and relive every moment of the day with each other (or whatever). Just be sure to leave with a group of your biggest fans cheering in the distance.
