I was catching up with a newly married bride about all of the great things that have gone on in her life since becoming married and surprisingly, she told me that she was feeling blue. When I asked her why, she said that no one was interested in her anymore. She said that people didn't get excited when she walked into the room, like they used to. She wasn't talking about bridal gowns and reception plans any more and frankly she didn't know what to do and she was finding her life, boring. Yes, she had been the belle of the ball and now the clock had struck midnight. The party was over and now what?
Well, somehow with all of the planning and parties and shopping, we forget why all of these festivities and activities are taking place to begin with; two people becoming one, making a commitment to each other through the good times and bad, beginning a new life together.
When planning your special day, try to take it all in . Enjoy your moments of planning, enjoy being the center of attention at parties and get togethers. But most of all enjoy each other through it all. Don't let little mishaps get to you. If it rains, oh well. If you didn't get the exact color match you wanted on your cake, it's okay. It doesn't change anything about the commitment that the two of you are about to make to each other. There is a new beginning after the big event, so keep it all in perspective.
Let me reword part of a script from a 90's movie to suit the occasion, "Make the wedding. Don't let the wedding make you."
