It's so hard in the world today to SLOW DOWN. Think about it- we wake to a screeching alarm clock, rush to get out of the door, fly down the road only to hit every red light in town. We rush to work, doctors appointments, dates with our love or dinners with our friends.. Every day in life its always a rush. If i can tell one thing to every one of my brides- or any bride in the world for that matter it would be two words: SLOW DOWN. Being engaged is THE BEST feeling in the world. From the second you scream "Yes!" to the moments you spend calling every family member and friend sharing the good news, to the many times you get to tell "the proposal story" and giddily show off your rock when you get asked to show your ring- every second of being engaged is AMAZING. You immediately start envisioning your dress, how you will wear your hair, what an awesome party you are going to have at your reception.. all the details immediately start flying around in that love struck brain of yours. You and your husband to be choose a date and then the planning begins. Let me tell you how incredibly overwhelming all of the details can be in wedding planning- most brides don't realize it and then almost fall over when they see all 246 tasks listed on an online checklist. Now, if you are fortunate enough you will have an amazing planner (cough cough*) who takes the stress away. Who handles all of the tiny tasks that stress you out, organizes everything, provides you with all of the information and ideas to make your wedding everything you've always dreamt of while you just get to relax and enjoy being engaged. Regardless, planner or not, slow down.. Take it all in.. Enjoy the nights with your friends addressing those Save the Dates envelopes, the time with your planner going over color schemes, the food and the cake tasting (YUMMM!!!!) with your fiance. And even when the little stressful incidents occur over the guest lists or family opinions not matching your opinions- enjoy it all. Being engaged will be one of the best times of your life.. enjoy every minute of it.. and remember, at the end of the day- you are marrying the love of your life! What is more exciting than a forever with your best friend.. Absolutely nothing! Happy engagement to everyone who is engaged out there. Congratulations and soak it all in!
