3 Week Jitters Planning my wedding was one of the highlights for me. Not only was I going to be marrying the man of my dreams but I was planning one of the most sensational celebrations I had ever planned in my life. I had books, magazines, scrapbooks, committee meetings (I was raised in the United Methodist Church...committee meetings is all we know), fabric swatches, recipes......... I was getting equipped for the big day. Contracting vendors, setting timelines, showers and the many other thousands of details I had to attend to all while running my own demanding business. At times, the task could become quite daunting. I was a DIY bride. Not by choice but by necessity. It was tough. I had the weight of our wedding on our shoulders and at times the last thing I wanted to do was stamp a monogram “S” on 250 ceremony programs. Three weeks before the wedding the stress was finally taking over. I was exhausted and just ready to get on with it until I received a phone call from my soon to be sweet husband. He called me at home on Thursday afternoon to check with my schedule and learn what was on the agenda. I began the long litany of all the wedding items I needed to complete when he abruptly stopped me. Pack an overnight bag and I will pick you up Friday after work. What! I don’t have time for a trip not 3 weeks before our wedding. What was he thinking. Persistent as he was I had no choice but to leave with him on this “secret trip”. We didn’t tell anyone until we returned. We boarded the jet and I still didn’t have a clue where we were going because we had to stop over to another city before we reached our destination. It wasn’t about the destination although we had a blast (i’m not going to tell you where we went...but it was great fun) it was about having a break from the three week stress jitters. Jimmy was so in tuned to my stress level. He recognized I needed a break. Ladies, take a break from the wedding planning. Sometimes we get so caught up in all the details and making all the decisions, we forget why we are getting married in the first place. Relax, take a breath and escape. You might not can escape on a jet plane but you can escape by taking a mental health day and not discuss wedding for one day. Your finance’ will love you forever if you would do this. I would also encourage you to plan a “ wedding day off chatter day.” Stop the wedding noise for one day every week and give yourself a break of wedding talk. You will still have 6 days out of the week to talk marital bliss but this will help you mentally and keep you connected to your finance’. The last thing we want as a wedding planner is for you to be all stressed out and in tears 3 weeks before your wedding. Take a break. McDonald’s says it best, “You deserve a break today”. So take it. |
