What to have for breakfast on a wedding morning?

You need fuel for a long day, but your stomach should not be the centre of attention. Eat a normal, balanced breakfast that you know agrees with you. Good options include porridge with banana, scrambled eggs on toast, or a simple bowl of cereal with fruit. Avoid anything you have never tried before, and skip very greasy, spicy, or heavy food. You will be standing, talking, and smiling for hours, and nerves can make a heavy meal sit badly.

Try to eat about two hours before you need to leave for the venue. That gives your body time to digest, so you feel steady rather than full or hungry. If the ceremony is very early, have a smaller breakfast and pack a snack for later, like a banana or a plain biscuit. Keep water or juice nearby, but go easy on coffee if it makes you jittery.

If you are having a morning drink with your bridal party or family, keep it to something light like juice or a soft drink. Save the champagne for after the ceremony if you want to be fully present and clear-headed. The goal is to feel calm, comfortable, and ready, not to be running on empty or feeling queasy.
