Ahh… weddings. Such a joyous occasion of celebrating love, family and romance. But anyone who has ever planned a wedding knows, that before the laughter and the happily ever after, comes budgeting, handling RSVP’s and other complicated stuff.
He pops the questions, you’re elated! You immediately call up your loved ones to tell them the good news. You have found the one you’re willing to spend the rest of your life with — it’s a miracle and a dream come true. Weeks pass and soon enough you’re ejected into a whirlwind of wedding planning. Turns out, it’s more tedious than you’ve ever imagined.
Lots of wedding planning stress comes from sorting out the financing, making decisions, seating arrangement and who can forget the family drama? Before you get to enjoy what could be the happiest day of your life, you’ll have to work hard on the planning process to ensure things turn out exactly how you, your other-half and your family have envisioned. This is no easy task, it is very stressful. To avoid getting consumed by anxiety and negativity, it’s a good idea to keep your head space in the right place. Try your best to keep your perspectives focused on what’s truly important and enjoy the process while it lasts — easier said than done, right? Regardless, take comfort in knowing that this is a once in a lifetime experience and it goes by in a blink of an eye.
Here are some helpful tips on how to stay calm, even when so much is going on:
