Wedding Day Blues

It’s starting to happen. So many things are beginning to take shape as your Wedding Day gets closer. Each piece of the puzzle is coming together for the one big day of your life. As the suspense keeps building, your mind keeps rehearsing your Wedding Day over and over. Does this sound like you? If you’re not careful, it’s going to happen. You’re heading for the Wedding Day Blues.Making that big decision to get married is, in itself, a major stepping stone in everyone’s life. Once the decision is made, the planning begins. Whether you are planning for a large or small Wedding, be aware that, most times, inevitably something will go wrong. You are not alone since this has happens to just about everyone. The trick is not to let the anxiety and the fear of the unknown ruin your big day. Here are a few ideas on how to avoid the Wedding Day Blues.First of all, make sure that you are eating and sleeping before the day arrives. You body needs this just to make it through the excitement of the big day.

Don’t worry about things such as favors, attendants gifts, flowers and photos. Provided the planning has been done and everything has been ordered, there is not much more you can do. Keep in mind there is a solution to every problem that arises.

If the favors or gifts don’t show up in time for your Wedding Day, you can always deliver or mail them later.

If they deliver the wrong flowers or the colors are not what you ordered, no one will ever know but you. Even if the flowers never show up, every supermarket and superstore sells flowers today. It may not be what you wanted, but in the big scope of things, it really doesn’t matter to anyone where the flowers came from.

As far as photos, everyone has a camera these days. It’s a sure thing that at least one picture will be great. In fact, the unexpected photo is usually the best one.

There is a solution to just about everything that could happen no matter how crazy the solution may seem. Go over each thing that is causing you to worry and find a simple solution. Then stop worrying about it.

There’s the old saying “been there, done that”. On my wedding day, there was rain, snow and sleet. The limos got into an accident before even arriving. My hair drooped before the ceremony. The truth is that so much went wrong, I shrugged my shoulders and started to laugh at the alter. The comedy didn’t end there. It rained to much that the big, expensive wedding hall I paid for sprung a leak. There I was in a beautiful wedding gown moving tables around. But in the end, everyone said it was the best wedding they had ever attended. As a matter of fact, I had a really good time myself.

If your planning your Wedding and find yourself worrying too much and heading for the Wedding Day Blues, drop us a line. Do you need a backup solution to something you planned? Or maybe you had the Wedding Day Blues and want to share your thoughts to help others. We’d love to hear from you.
