If there was one piece of wisdom I could bestow upon you dear engayged readers, it would be to schedule a day each week that is wedding free. That means no discussing wedding plans, no wedding projects, no wedding blogging, no wedding anything! Once we become engayged, it’s like we are in a marathon to do all the things we need to do to plan this giant fabulous event and we forget to engage in the engagement itself! Let’s face it, wedding planning can be like a second full-time job. Planning a wedding in addition to our already stressful day to day lives can be somewhat overwhelming at times. I’ve had a few mega-stressed moments myself (which helps me to better understand those bridzillas everyone talks about). Then we created Wedding-Free Wednesdays!
On Wednesdays, we go to the movies, cook dinner for each other, catch a Broadway show, or just cuddle on the couch. I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to just be. To relax. We need it! You need it!!
I truly believe that we need as humans need to find a way to live in the present. With wedding planning, we are constantly having to think in the future – and if you are like me, you are thinking about it constantly. Therefore, create a day that celebrates your love in the present. In a nutshell, engage in your engagement because it goes so quickly.
this is such wonderful advice. planning can become so stressful, and taking time to just be with one another is a great way to remind yourself why you’re doing it all…
