How to "Walk Down the Aisle"
Even if your heart is racing, you want to be a vision of calm when you walk the walk. The classic step-touch, step-touch technique can look mechanical, but you'll need a device that will force you to walk slowly (nerves cause many brides to rush up the aisle). At your rehearsal, count the number of steps to the altar; on your wedding day, count off this number to yourself as you walk. Practice at home wearing your shoes and gown (on a clean floor), so you can get used to the weight of the dress while breaking in the heels (rough up the new slippery soles with sandpaper or a cement sidewalk). Balancing a book on your head works: it keeps you back straight and your shoulders hunch-free.
