And that lack of control over the rest of your lives together, dear soon-to-be military spouse, is the first concept you must effectively grasp in order to pull off a truly successful military wedding.

While it may be difficult if not darn near impossible, Kline advises brides to do their best to avoid the art of micromanagement on the big day.
