It’s Just a Day

Women have been inundated with images of a stunning bride sauntering down an aisle smothered in flowers galore. We, as women, are programmed to crave a gigantic, romantic wedding. We want everything to be perfect, and often times, we’ll pay any amount of money to achieve that perfection. Take it from a married woman, ladies. It’s just a day. Yes, it’s your wedding day, and yes, you’ve dreamed about it your whole life, but the truth remains. It’s one day in what we all hope will be a long and happy life. When you stress yourself out about having nearly “perfect” details, then you will be so anxious on your wedding day that you won’t enjoy it at all. Nearly all married couples I’ve met have said that they wished they hadn’t spent so much money on the wedding. I’ve heard it a million times. “After all, it was just a day.” So take some advice from a married woman who’s not selling you a gown or some party favors. Don’t over extend yourself, and remember, character is derived from imperfection.
