| This past Monday was my 1-month anniversary and we recently returned from our honeymoon on DCL and WDW. We were getting crazy stressed out in the months leading up to the wedding and it got bad enough that we both kinda had to realize there was no reason to get so stressed out. Things are not all going to go according to plan. Not everything is going to work out. And that's ok. We had to keep reminding ourselves that on the evening of May 22nd, we'd be married no matter how the day unfolded. If my suit caught on fire and she tripped and fell through the cake we'd still be just as married as if everything went perfect.
That distance allowed us not to get so stressed out over the details and to just enjoy the whole thing more. Going with the waves is alot easier than fighting it.
On the day of the wedding, we got to the hall and found out the music system was busted! SO we had no music for the ceremony at all. But instead of freaking out, since we were taking the "being married is the important part not the ceremony" we were able to just roll with it and as she started walking down the aisle I started humming the wedding march song and everyone joined in! That problem and rolling with it left us with one of the more memorable moments of the day!
I guess my advice is to remember that you're having a wedding to be married, not to have the wedding. No matter what happens during the ceremony itself it all ends with you being married, and that's the important part. Being able to take the issues with a grain of salt enables you to laugh about it later as opposed to crying.
My wife had her share of mini-breakdowns leading up to it but I just kept reminding her how happy I was to be getting married and that's all that mattered.
When all else fails focus on the honeymoon! |
