I've heard men say they were sweaty and faint standing there so long waiting for the bride at the end of the aisle.  Is this the norm?

I saw an old seventies movie where a couple got married and they had swags on the ceiling.  I hadn't thought of that but I think it's beautiful.  I wonder how much it would cost to get that done at my ceremony at the Church.  Do you think I can rent the swags?  Who would I call for something like that?  What's a good number not to go over as far as pricing goes?  

My boyfriends sister will be getting married in April this year, I have met most of his family already and feel pretty comfortable around everyone, but i want to continue to make a good impression as they will hopefully be my family soon too. I've never been to a wedding before so any advice I can get would be AMAZING!  I will not be in the wedding, just attending with my boyfriend (he isn't in the wedding either) 

I am leaving on Feb 13th going to gatlinburg for my wedding and honeymoon.I have 3 weeks left.The reception will be at my house when we get back.When should I clean my house so I won't have to clean when I come back?
