How cope with the stress of planning your dream day...
– Anne Hathaway
Wedding days are always stressful, right? Wrong! Although lots of brides and grooms do end up spending most of their wedding day in a state of stress, missing out on the beautiful beginning of their marriage because they’re worrying about whether they’ll trip as they walk down the aisle or if the food will be good, there are many couples who leave the stress behind them. Once the big day has been planned and the wedding invites have been sent out, lots of soon to be wed couples are able to chill out and enjoy their big day – which is exactly how things are supposed to be.
How so they do that?
1. They Understand You Can’t Control Everything
The people who start off their marriages most stressed out are the control freaks – the people who think that they can control everything and do their best to do so. If you want to be calm on your wedding day, you need to make peace with the fact that things can and do go wrong. Sure, you can make a few contingency plans just in case, but for the most part, just embrace the fact that life is uncertain and know that marrying the person you love is what really matters – not the bells and whistles that go with it.

5. They Don’t Endlessly Check Things Out
A lot of brides become so obsessed with their wedding day being perfect that they spend half of the day driving up to the venue, checking on the progress, talking to the caterers, calling the best man to check the groom is getting ready in a timely manner, and it makes them extremely stressed out and frazzled. It also lessens the impact of walking into the venue during the main event. Don’t be like them and trust that everything is happening as planned. You’ll enjoy the day so much more if you can do this.
6. Have a Handy Friend on Hand

7. Sneak Some Alone Time
Although the wedding day is supposed to be about you – the bride and groom – you will have all manner of friends and family members vying for your attention, and it can get quite stressful. It is, then, a very good idea to try and sneak even just a few minutes with the person you have just tied your life to forever. That time will allow you to process what’s happened and you can give each other the comfort and strength you need to get through the rest of the reception.
8. Let Your Hair Down
So many newly married couples are so conscious of how they look, even after the ceremony when they’re supposed to be having fun at the reception that they spend the evening stressed out, bored and unhappy. Do you really want to start your marriage like that? If not, don’t worry so much about how you look, let your hair down and party with your loved ones!
Enjoy your wedding – it really doesn’t have to be a source of stress if you don’t want it to be!
