Elimate Stress from your Wedding

Here's how to "Keep the I in I do".

It's very easy to get swept up in the whole process of planning your wedding. What's very important is for the bride and for the groom to keep a sense of who they are ~ "Keep the I in I do".

One of the best ways to do that is to remind yourself why you are at a point in your life were you are willing and where you want to pledge your love to each other.

When you are being pulled in a thousand different directions its easy to get irritated with those close to you - that even includes your groom. So remember to focus on your relationship. Remember that process; 1) how much you love each other and 2) that's why you are doing it.

STOP! Take the time to plan a romantic dinner, talk a walk or go the a movie. You need to reconnect. The key is communication. It is very easy especially for the bride to get caught up in the experience and the planning Brides often presume that the groom is there with her and many times it's not the case. DON'T PRESUME ANYTHING. Make time for each other, communicate with each other & stay on the same page - it will be less stressful.

Dealing with family members can up your stress level during the planning process. Every body has an opinion and you don't really want to hurt anyone's feelings but remember the only opinions that truly matter are yours & your groom.

There are no hard and fast rules when dealing with family. It is important to establish boundaries. You can do this in ways that are not aggressive and again it comes back to what you and your finance want. What are the aspects of the day you are willing to compromise on. You need to be clear about that.

As your wedding approaches keep it in prospective. Life is stressful . It's always going to be stressful and Yes for your special day its going to be a little bit more stressful.

Don't sweat the small stuff ~ its not worth it. Life's going to go on and what's going to happen is going to happen. As important as your wedding day is, it's not most the most important day in your life. Most important day of your life is the birth of your first child, second child, or the day you face a crisis and the other is there to hold your hand. If you keep it in that prospective, it will help reduce the stress help you focus on each other and will help you "Keep the I in I do".
