Expectations

As a bride, you look forward to your wedding daily.  You anticipate the big day when you will officially share your life with someone else forever.  Expectations for your wedding day is high, no doubt.  It would be wise, however, from steering clear of thinking it will be perfect.  I don't think I've ever been to a wedding or heard of a wedding that was "perfect."  In most cases, some unexpected glitch is bound to surface. At least a half a dozen of these little glitches came up at my wedding.  It is difficult to create perfection, as very little in life has a guarantee of being perfect.  And that is okay.

Weddings and other special occasions are meant to be as close to perfect as possible, but paying too much attention to the fine details may end up dampening your mood.  Better to live in the moment, laugh off minor hiccups, and enjoy everything that is running smoothly.  It's your wedding day.  Let someone else worry about the details, if it's fixable.  If you hired a consultant, that's what you're paying them to do.  If you don't have someone running the show, call on a family member or friend to help.  As the bride, your job is to be having fun and to be happy with your husband.  Remember that the bigger picture is your relationship and that no matter what happens, big or small, the two of you will weather it together.  It's a good lesson in life and good way for you to begin your new marriage.
