Wedding Stress – 10 tips for Transformation

Success in marriage is much more than finding the right person, it is a matter of being the right person BR Brickner

Although human beings are born with a desire to love, and eventually choose a person to marry, the rite of passage is not always a smooth journey.
We believe that the wedding preparations are also an opportunity for couples to grow in love, friendship, communication and understanding. They can learn the tools to overcome challenges that arise during the wedding planning, and this will help build a stronger foundation for the wedding day and beyond.

Many other cultures offer “rite of passage” ceremonies that metaphysically, physically and emotionally prepare the bride and groom for their new life together. Although they may not be ideal, they do offer some insights into the transition from me to we.
Our culture concentrates mostly on the homogenized catered affair, which can be wonderful, but may lead to excessive stress and/or disaster i.e. bridezilla, bridal jitters, overwhelm and the runaway bride syndrome.
The quest for perfection and the ideal wedding often interfere with the relationship of the bride and groom as well as their friends and family. And all the skeletons in the closet emerge in full bloom!

Couples sometimes need a little help to remember why they are getting married, how to be true to themselves, have a wedding that reflects that, and which sets the tone and foundation for their wedding and beyond..

Managing Stress is one of the first steps. It’s easier to remember those things when you are calm, relaxed, and enjoying the process!

10 stress tips for Brides and Grooms:

• Setting goals is the key to reducing stress and staying healthy during your wedding planning.
• It’s important for you to keep your body nourished with healthy and sustaining
foods
• Drink plenty of water
• Get enough Sleep
• Love yourself, love your body,
• If you really want to lose weight, do it before you go shopping for your dress!
• Delegate tasks
• Use a relaxation technique… daily!
• Keep up your exercise program even if you need to modify it in your extra busy times
• ,Love your partner, remember to listen, and do something extra for them when you can

Remember…

1) Look after your body and you will have all the energy you need for your wedding planning and ceremony.

2) Your bride/groom fell in love with you just the way you are!

3) Be who you are and let the wedding fall in place

Why Wedding Professionals?

Marriages are made in heaven,
but they are lived on earth.

Nathan Gist

Who’s going to help you achieve your dream?
Our advice: Get a wedding planner. Of course, you have two choices about that.
You can get a book, or you can hire a professional. Both of these choices offer a totally essential element – your tools for organizing.
Being organized is the key to a stress free wedding. If you absolutely can’t organize, then you need to find help immediately. Perhaps you have a friend who’s willing to take on the task of organizing your wedding. If you don’t, consider hiring someone to do it for you.

Wedding Professionals

A professional Wedding Planner would be advantageous: she/he will be a master at organizing and equipped with experience that only someone who has been through a lot of weddings can have.

Your wedding planner will be great at helping you negotiate for the best services and the best prices from vendors. They can even act as an intermediary between you and your family member’s opinions. A professional can take care of everything while you simply relax and enjoy the journey.

In many cases, the cost of the wedding planner is offset by the money they will save you by using their connections and negotiating skills to get you the things you need to fulfill your dream.
Your wedding planner will take care of all the wedding planning necessities. All of the external factors, such as the location, caterer, invitations, wedding apparel, music, flowers, photographers and etiquette would be part of their responsibility.

At some point in the journey you may see the value in having a Wedding Coach as well.

A Wedding Coach works with the internal factors of the participants in the wedding, particularly the two stars of the day - the Bride and the Groom. This is the inner journey towards being a relaxed and radiant bridal couple... That means during wedding planning…navigating through stress, lack of sleep, disagreements, opinions, bridal jitters and overwhelm.. to just name a few!

As Wedding Coaches, we guide the bride and groom through the transition from singlehood to married life. We help the couple focus on the internal emotional changes in a positive way, so that they can build a strong and healthy foundation for their marriage. By helping the wedding couple create their dream wedding, calmness and joy are brought into the wedding preparation process, the ceremony, and beyond.

Wedding Coaching Tip #1 Bridezilla, Bridal Jitters, Wedding Planning Overwhelm

When you are getting married everyone around you, family and friends, wedding magazines & books, and even you, expect the time leading up to the wedding to be so full of joy and ecstasy and the wedding day to be the happiest day of your life.
But, now you might be finding yourself feeling stressed out, very emotional, irritable, and overwhelmed. Why are you feeling this way?

There's nothing wrong with you. Getting married is one of the biggest life-changing events you'll ever experience. It's also a transformation from singlehood to marriage and a rite of passage! It's a big deal!
With the stress of planning a wedding, many brides (and grooms) can experience extreme anxiety which can be expressed in many different ways.
Think of all the beautiful brides that have turned into bridezillas right before your very eyes, without even being aware of it!

Many brides and grooms have cold feet during wedding planning. This can be normal or can be a sign of a problem. Talk to your fiancé about your feelings. And if necessary, a counselor or health professional...

Many couples will experience "wedding jitters", but this is usually a case of feeling overwhelmed with all the planning and everyone's opinions. This is perfectly normal and can be helped by allocating tasks, downtime, talking to your fiancé and friend or family, and resolving issues that come up as they occur.

Wedding as a Rite of Passage

A wedding is one of the most important rites of passage in a person’s life.

What’s that? You’re marking an internal shift from being single to being married. The focus will no longer be on you alone. In front of your family and friends, you create a new life - a marriage.

From the day of your marriage forward, you will need to consider that you are part of a family- a “we, not only a “me.”
If that sounds a little scary, that’s because it is!
An internal shift of this magnitude only happens at a few points in your life.

A good marriage will allow for the fact that neither of you is perfect. Not today, and not in the years to come. Both of you will need to bring forth the very best within you in order to create a “we” that grows with time. You’ll need to learn to overlook the small things that your “me” might have problems with, and look toward how to nourish the relationship. When you do that, your relationship will serve as your bedrock- the place to which you return over and over again to receive reassurance, strength, love and hope.
