Don't always depend on the wedding experts (self included!)

It's a natural tendency to get the information you need from the wedding experts. But often, you will find better information elsewhere. For example, if you want cigar rollers, go the a cigar forum (Cigar Aficionado has an excellent forum). Not surprisingly, cigar fans will happily volunteer assistance. Foodies can be a great help when you are deciding on a menu (I'm always visiting www.epicurious.com), and my local liquor store is who I would consult with if I had to pick the perfect Champagne for my wedding (well, anniversary since I'm already married.) For men's attire, I like GQ and Details.

Best of all, if you follow the non-wedding-pro advice, there is much less of a chance that your wedding will look like the one a guest read about in last month's Modern Bride!
