 | We’ve all seen (or at least heard of) the television show Bridezilla. If not, then the word itself defines its own meaning. People dread her, vendors fear her, friends avoid her, and family members stay as far away as possible. Grooms wonder what happened to their sweet girlfriend, the one that disappeared shortly after the engagement. Replacing the love of their life is a larger than life – Bridezilla! |
Watch out girls, this transformation from nice to nightmare can happen to you! Pressures from wedding planning can sneak up behind and take hold of you when you least expect it. Brides too often become overwhelmed and lose it all together. They forget the meaning and purpose of a wedding. Its significance is not about which wedding favors, style, theme, decorations, or flowers you choose – it’s about what comes after the wedding day. The life that you’ll share with your loved one begins once the ceremony ends, and this is so much more important than the wedding itself. A wedding is a huge deal - not because it takes a lot of planning to make it picture perfect for yourself and your guests, but because it is a major life-changing event, a huge first step, and a new stage in your life, where you promise to be together with one person forever, through thick and thin.
So let’s keep things in perspective and remember the purpose of a wedding. This can ease the stress from everything that needs to be arranged and planned for your big day. You should remember why you’re doing all this; don’t go crazy and take it out on those around you. Relax and realize that nothing is perfect - but it really doesn’t matter as long as in the end you exchange vows and end up with the one you love!
