Creating a Wedding Day Mentality

It's here. The moment you've been waiting for: your wedding day. The excitement is in the air. Your venue looks beautiful, your dress fits perfectly, your hair and make-up leaves you glowing. It's exactly as you had hoped. Everything is going smoothly until....
You can fill in the blank with just about anything you can think of. Your centerpiece is missing, your gown tears while dancing, the best man doesn't show up, the flower girl doesn't quite make it down the aisle, extra guests you didn't plan for arrive unexpectedly, and the list goes on and on. You can't expect to plan for every possible thing that could go wrong, but you can decide how you want to respond. It's easy to get flustered when things don't go according to plan.  Practice ahead of time, how you want to feel and act on your wedding day. Ideally, you want to be calm, confident, and happy. That's hard to do if you're too concerned with little things that don't go as you planned. Make an effort to put your enjoyment at the forefront of your mind. Assign someone else, if you haven't already, to step in and take care of unexpected issues. Learn to laugh off minor setbacks and focus on your groom, the love surrounding you and the reason you're getting married in the first place. That is what's most important. Also, what you notice your guests might not. So refrain from putting your attention where you don't want it. Keep it centered on the happy and positive things and that's what your guests will remember.
