Congrats! The wedding/reception/the next five years are going to come and go faster than you thought possible. I'm 28, been married 6 years this Saturday, and our first child is 3.5 months old.

Here's the best advice I can give. Enjoy the wedding and try to stay in the moment. It's over in a hurry and I was in a daze through most of mine. I should have concentrated more and not let my mind wander.

Do not get stupid drunk at the reception. It's a lot more fun to get stupid drunk at your best friend's reception than your own. Thankfully I followed the advice of said best friend and didn't drink at my reception.

Finally, if you're planning on having kids right away, wait. My wife and I dated since our senior year in HS, she wanted kids as soon as we got married. I wanted to wait a few years. We agreed to do that, and it took a few more to have a child. Looking back, my wife cherishes the time we had alone and it really allowed us to get to know each other.
