Are you a nervous engaged couple?

Are you an engaged couple who is feeling nervous, stressed and overwhelmed about planning your wedding? Well you’ve come to the right place! Let me walk you through some steps to help you get through the planning stages of your wedding while actually enjoying it and feeling fully confident and joyful walking down the aisle instead of being a nervous engaged couple!

It is normal to feel nervous before your wedding. After all, most people would say it’s the biggest day of their life! However, there are a few things you can do to help manage and make sure you enjoy your special day.

1. Take some time for yourself and create a gratitude journal.

In the days leading up to your wedding, make sure to take some time for yourself to relax and de-stress. This could mean getting a massage, taking a yoga class or visit Deep Roots Discovery, or simply spending some time in nature. Go for walks or a bike ride. Many people find that meditating on positive, encouraging statements help calm them down. God wired our brains so that gratitude rides on the same neuropathways as anxiety! So for nervous engaged couples, start a gratitude journal during this time to remind yourself of all the things you are grateful for leading up to your wedding day. And then on your wedding day, set aside some time for you and your fiancé to read over your gratitude journal before your big day starts.

2. Talk to your fiancé and close friends and family.

If you are feeling nervous, talk to your fiancé about it. They may be feeling the same way, and talking about it can help you both to feel more relaxed. When you talk with each other be sure to make good eye contact and allow your partner to speak freely without judgment and without responding or interrupting. Then ask them to give you the same respect when it’s your turn to talk.

3. Remember why you are getting married.

Take a moment to remember why you are getting married. Focus on the love you share with your partner and the excitement of starting your new life together. If you are a nervous engaged couple, Go back through pictures, texts, or emails and remind yourself why you fell in love with this person to begin with. Remind each other often as to how much you love each other. And HUG! Hug often! At least once a day for 20 seconds. It cleanses your body and soul and helps you feel more connected.

4. Delegate tasks.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by all the wedding planning, delegate some tasks to your friends and family. This will help you to feel less stressed and more in control. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and even involve your partner in some wedding tasks. This will help you bond and feel more connected on your wedding day knowing you both had a hand in planning your day. Your family and friends love you and WANT to help you! So just ask. Don’t think you have to do it all yourself. Explain clearly what task you want done and how you want it done. Explain calmly and kindly that you are not looking for advise, but you just need help in completing a task.

5. Just relax and enjoy the day!

Most importantly, remember to relax and enjoy your wedding day. It is a special day that you will remember for the rest of your life. So if you are a nervous engaged couple be sure to:

• Eat a healthy breakfast the morning of your wedding.
• Get a good night’s sleep the night before.
• Avoid drinking too much caffeine the day before and the day of your wedding.
• Take deep breaths and meditate on positive thoughts and read your gratitude journal on your wedding day.
• Surround yourself with positive people. It’s ok to not invite EVERYONE to your wedding.

Remember, you are not alone in feeling nervous as an engaged couple before your wedding. Most couples feel the same way. Just take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy your big day!
