To put it simply, you still get married. If you are a bride that is at the end of her rope when it comes to wedding planning, I am here to encourage you and also give you a virtual hug. Wedding planning can become stressful when things feel like they are falling apart. Here are a few simple reminders to help you get through it, and also enjoy your special day! 

    1. Once you get to the day, you won’t notice the tiny imperfections of things that didn’t go as planned

As soon as I was down the aisle, nothing else mattered as I looked into the eyes of my soon to be husband. I was so caught up in the moment in fact, that as I tearfully said my vows, one of the groomsmen passed out in the background and I didn’t have a clue. People got up, brought him a chair, brought him water and I didn’t even notice. I didn’t find out until the next day, and I laughed because nothing could take away from that moment.

    2. People won’t know the way things were supposed to be, they will simply enjoy it the way it is 

I’m not sure about you, but when I got engaged I had a vision for the way I wanted everything to look, but more importantly the way I wanted it to feel. There were so many detailed things that I was so excited to share with my guests. For example, a family friend was going to play the cello as guests arrived. Well, a few weeks before the wedding he broke his hand and you can’t play a cello with a broken hand. I was devastated, but at the end of the day nobody knew that he was supposed to be there and they enjoyed the music over the speakers instead. Nobody knew that somebody else was supposed to DJ and sing. They enjoyed it as it was, and so did I!

     3. There is an answer to every problem

Even when it feels like the end of the world, you will find a solution. The only airport within 3.5 hours to my venue closed the week of my wedding. I didn’t even know that airports closed and this was not the time that I wanted to find out. I figured that nobody would be able to come and had no idea how I would even get there. Yet, people figured it out and made it there. I felt so loved by the insane effort that everyone made to get there. When my bridesmaid forgot her dress in another state, someone was able to get it and mail it in time. Everything worked out just the way it was supposed to! It will work out for you too! So breathe deep and trust that everything is going to be okay. 

When I look back at my wedding day, I don’t see all the ways that things went wrong. I see all the love, joy, and beauty. I laugh and wish that I hadn’t worried and stressed over things out of my control. I am thankful for the things that didn’t work out the way I wanted because better things fell into place. So enjoy every moment, laugh when you want the planning to be over, and look in the eyes of the one you love!
