Don't get too drunk.  Gotta be a man at the end of the day!
Get lots of sleep the night before,  it's a long day.
Be as understanding to your wife as possible.  It's really her day.  She may flip out, but you need to remain calm and collective and remind her that this day is meant to be a special day and not to worry that things have been taken care of.  Then go take care of whatever needs she wants.
Oh, and have fun.
At $25,000+, you think this should be a fun day, no?

Meford said it perfectly.

HAVE TO KEEP HER CALMED DOWN FOR THE COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE BIG DAY.
Go the extra step to make sure she isn't freaking out. If she snaps at you, just let it roll off your back. Any little things that need to be done, get them done for her. Going to the store for last minute things, picking up food, whatever.

one tidbit of wisdom my brother passed on to me..
PUT A COUPLE KLEENEX IN EACH POCKET. Your hands WILL get clammy while you're waiting for the ceremony. No matter how calm and collected you are, or how many shots you have beforehand (I had like 3).. cold nasty hands just aren't good.

And you'll be amazed how much your family & friends will jump in when something needs to be done to make it easier on the both of you. If we didn't insist (because her parents were ready to drop they were so busy), we wouldn't have had to lift a finger the entire time.
