Hey friend,
I’ve been in your shoes. Feeling Stressed & Overwhelmed. The wedding is coming soon & you are suddenly feeling like there is so much you have to do, decide on, coordinate, PAY FOR, and figure out before the wedding day actually arrives.
It can feel a little daunting. You might be tempted to look at your fiancé and suggest a quick trip to Las Vegas to say “I do” with Elvis officiating the ceremony. I get you! I’ve had more than one client tell me that this conversation happened in the weeks & months leading up to the wedding day.
Can I be real with you for a minute?
It’s all going to work out.
I promise.
Because, at the END of the wedding day, guess what? You will leave as husband and wife. And that is the only thing that REALLY matters.
The rest of it. It’s just a bonus.
The beautiful dress. The fresh flowers. The amazing meal. The dessert. The toasts. The dancing. The menu cards. Or centerpieces. Or million other little details? Those are all a bonus. They are things that add to the beauty of the day.
They aren’t what makes the wedding day beautiful.
What makes the wedding day beautiful is the fact that at the end of the day, you are MARRIED.
The wedding day doesn’t make your marriage. Your wedding day is the start of your marriage. But it’s marriage that is beautiful. It’s choosing, with the people you love surrounding you & supporting you – to bind your life with another. To choose to love, honor, and protect each other. To choose each other. In a million different ways.
And MARRIAGE is what we are celebrating on your wedding day.
So, while you are feeling overwhelmed. Remember – the wedding is just the first day of your marriage & there is no right way to have a wedding. If your wedding is extravagant and full of beautiful, curated details? IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL.
If your wedding is simple & full of homemade details? IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL.
Take a deep breath.
Grab your fiancé, put your phones away, and go on a walk. Or grab a cup of coffee together. While you are planning your wedding, also make sure to plan your marriage. Dream about the things you want to do in your first year of marriage. Or in your 5th year. Or in your 35th year. Dream about the traditions you want to start. Maybe it’s homemade breakfast every Saturday morning. Or Thursday Nextflix & Pizza Nights. Or Tuesday Game Nights with the neighbors. Or double dates every month with your best friends. Dream about the things that will happen once the wedding day is over.
Your wedding is going to be beautiful. And your marriage will be incredible.
Don’t let the details stress you out & make you feel overwhelmed. Remember what the day is about & know that it all will be PERFECT.
