Focus on the Ceremony
Okay, celebrating is important, but you shouldn’t lose sight of what you’re actually doing.
The party, the guests, and the details can easily divert your attention.
In short, you might lose sight of the fact that, beyond the celebration, you are marrying the person you want by your side for life.
Remember that? You found the one who makes you happy! Whenever your thoughts get overwhelming, bring your mind back here.
Rely on Others
Ask, trust, delegate.
When you’re experiencing anxiety that’s hard to manage, it can be helpful to ask for help from others.
Wedding planners, married friends, close family, parents, and witnesses can help you live the moment more clearly.
Attention: this is only true if you clearly express to them what you need.
Without filters and without masks, tell them: I need some lightness for two hours, can we go away?
Or: to stay calm, I need a plan B, and if necessary, a plan C, can we create it together?
It’s your moment, enjoy it.
