Congratulations!
You are engaged now what?
Happy
New Year. I am still feeling all mushy and gushy inside from all the proposal
stories and videos I've seen and heard over the Christmas/New Year holiday.
One newly engaged bride I had the pleasure of speaking with was in full on
panic mode. OMG I'm engaged where do I start, what do I do, where do I look,
who do I call, I need a photographer, HELP ( no seriously that was the convo) .
My response...okay breeeeeeeeathe. Let's slow down a bit, it's only the December
29th, you got engaged December 25th and you are not getting married tomorrow so
let's take a step back for a hot second and talk some things through:- Do you want to get married in 2017 or 2018?
- Do you want a catering hall wedding or raw space wedding?
- Are you getting married locally or destination?
- Who is paying for the wedding?
- What is your wedding budget?
- How many guests are you inviting?
- Traditional Wedding or a doing it your own way?
HER:
INSERT panic mode AGAIN....
ME:
Here have some wine
It's
clear that this particular bride, as are many others right now, had to sort through some things. And that is totally okay. At this point she doesn't have to have all the answers yesterday. Just take a step back and allow yourself the opportunity to:
- Enjoying being a fiancée (floss that ring honey)
- Answer some key questions so when you get off your mark you have a clear direction of what you want to see at your finish line.
Thankfully
my bride was able to relax a bit (4 days lol) and now she has a better hold on the
direction of her raw space 2018 wedding and I'm ecstatic to help her.
How are YOU handling the stress
