When I was a little girl I always dreamed of the day I would meet my Prince Charming and he would sweep me off my feet to carry me away to his castle for my "Happily Ever After" ending. From day one, my mother told me that life was not a fairy tale and that I should never hold any man to such high expectations, to live life for what it is, not for what movies make it seem like it should be.
When I turned 20, I finally met the love of my life, the man I knew I was meant to marry. When he finally proposed, my mother gave me this piece of advice: enjoy every minute of this: the planning, the rehearsal, every little moment. She told me not to let the stress of the entire ordeal get to me because this was my big day.
So as the wedding planning continued and things got more and more stressful and I began to get more and more upset, my mom was constantly there for me, reminding me that no matter what, even if my teeth fell out and I was wearing a garbage sack for a dress, I was going to marry the love of my life on June 23, 2007.
Without the love and compassion of my mother, I would have turned into one of the crazy "bride-zillas" you see on T.V. Who attack everyone in sight when something doesn't go their way.
The closer to the wedding it got, the more stressful the events got. The caterer didn't have the appropriate head count, the church had a service that evening and we had to be out by 4:00 pm., and to top it all off, my mother-in-law doesn't like me. Through it all, my mother kept reminding me that on June 23, 2007 I would be walking down the aisle and marrying the love of my life.
I think that what every bride (and groom) needs in the months leading up to their wedding is someone to just pop in every now and then during the planning to remind them that even though it is stressful, it's worth it in the end.
When I accepted my husband's proposal I never thought that planning a wedding would be stressful, but thanks to my mother's gentle reminder, on June 23, 2007 I walked down the aisle and married the love of my life.
