Weddings-Weddings-Weddings.....!!!

It's July-and many of the weddings I've done this summer have been in wedding gardens.....it has been either soooo hot or very rainy so it hasn't been ideal. But with all of these weddings what I have been reflecting on most is the marriages that have been taking place. Sometimes the brides and grooms get so caught up in the details that by the time the wedding is upon them they are arguing with the love of their lives and wishing they had eloped or worse yet some are wondering if they are doing the right thing or marrying the right person. I try to help them see that in their life together they will have many tough times when things don't go exactly as planned....but those times and the way they handle them will actually reflect their character and will determine how successful their marriages will be.

My advise to the couples is to delegate as many details as possible to their close family and friends, and then let those things go and trust that they will handle them well. Trouble comes when the bride and groom try to do everything themselves and they completely exhaust themselves.

Also take time at least once a week during the planning process to spend a day or evening together where you don't talk about "the wedding" at all. Focus on creating the best relationship you possibly can always building each other up and being genuinely interested in one another's life. What you will be doing is growing strong muscles in your future marriage that will see you though all of the joys, and obstacles ahead........
