If I may be so bold as to offer more advice, as I just got done with my wedding a few weeks ago:
Eat before you get married. This may be difficult to do, but you won't be doing much eating at your own wedding. And make sure you get your best man or the maid of honor to pack you a lunch, as you'll get hungry later on that evening after the reception! I think I sat down for about 10 minutes throughout the whole thing. I got there early, to help out, but wasn't allowed to. I basically just kind of stood in a corner, and waited for people to come and talk to me. Everyone was so worried I was going to somehow accidentally see the bride before the wedding. I realize that it's tradition, but I thought it was stupid. Here, I'm marrying my best friend, and I can't see her all day until the moment she walks up the aisle? It just seems kinda dumb.
We tried to talk to everyone, but it was hard. Theoretically, while the wedding should be all about YOU TWO, it realistically isn't. People say that you don't just marry the woman, you marry the family, so (at least some) of it is about your families getting along as well.
My 2 cents. Good luck, and congrats!
