Remember The Love
Go to: Previous Article Next Article
Your proposal is everything you dreamed and more. It begins with a canoe ride across the lake to a deserted island. Awaiting you both is a basket filled with ice-cold Dom Perignon, sumptuous fruits and goodies. You toast to each other and then he pops the question. You, of course say yes and cannot imagine a more perfect beginning to your life together. You spend the afternoon wrapped in each other's arms.
As the afternoon fades, you row back to shore and start calling everyone you know to share the good news. They have questions - when, where, how? You don't have answers yet, but it's time to start planning. The wedding process can take a year to plan and execute.
When she realizes how much there is to be done, the bride can sometimes feel stressed out. There are dresses to pick out, a place to have the wedding, flowers, food, drinks and more. The husband-to-be does his best to be supportive, although planning a wedding was never on his list of top ten things to do. The bride feels alone - everyone has an opinion of how things should be done. The feeling of conquering the world starts to shrink a little.
Stop. Take a deep breathe. You are not the only bride to feel this way. But keep focused on the reason you are doing all of this. It's because you are in love. A wedding is supposed to be a way to bring two people together, not separate them. This is crucial to remember. Weddings are about love, about life-long commitment and self-sacrifice.
This part of the wedding, the love, can be overlooked with all the little things going on. So how do you make this time fun?
One way to do this is to have a romantic get-away weekend, where it's just the two of you and there is no talk about the wedding or the planning or any details. If you can't afford it, spend an afternoon walking together through the park and catching up on the other things going on in your lives besides the wedding.
Another way to keep your love fresh is to take one night each week and have dinner together, either at home or at a restaurant and just talk. Talk about your fears and your excitement. Use these moments to remember why you got engaged in the first place. If you share common interests like tennis, golf, rock climbing or mountain biking, be sure to take time to do those things together. If the groom is out having fun while the bride is home planning, she might begin to feel some resentment. It's okay to have fun together. The groom might spend one night a week dedicated to helping his love with the planning and making decisions, or even two hours once a week.
Remember, as a couple that is about to become man and wife, you are dedicating your lives to one another. Be sure to do the things together that brought you together in the first place. Appreciate each other and be kind to one another. The more support you offer one another, the more supported you will feel.
