How to Enjoy Your Wedding
When it comes to enjoying your wedding planning, it will take some discipline. That may not seem like a word synonymous with wedding planning, but if you think about it, it makes sense. You need a plan to eliminate all the distractions and noise of wedding planning. That may sound easier said than done, but it’s true. Here are a few tips to help you enjoy your wedding.
Keep Your Alone Time
Be sure to protect the time that you spend alone. This doesn’t mean you must spend all your time alone or even most of it. But it does mean you have some time, which is all yours, to do what you enjoy most. That could include things like reading, writing, making music, or, most importantly, being creative and productive in some way.
Keep Your Date Time
The same goes for protecting your time with your spouse-to-be. Yes, you will be tired of planning your wedding details. Your friends and family may want to spend their seemingly last time with you before you get married, but remember you will have more time to spend with them again after your wedding. So, do something important leading up to your wedding day. Spend time getting to know your love and building a spiritual foundation to sustain you together. This time leading up to your wedding is meant for this purpose: to pray for one another and your committed life together.
Keep Your Friend Time
Don’t forget about your friends. A list like this one may seem tedious, but it may help you not to leave anyone out, especially leading up to your wedding. Don’t just depend on bachelor parties, either. Be sure to go to lunch with your friends individually when you can to ensure that you spend quality time. This is when you can check on them, and they can check on you. Don’t let the important details of life get left behind because of the busy planning life that goes with just about every wedding. Be present and available, and remember that this special time is for both of you.
Keep Your Family Time
This is one of the most important things, but you must see your family. They can make you laugh, provide support, and help you get out of wedding planning mode that so easily takes over our mentality while we are in this planning season. Go visit them, keep up with what’s happening in their lives, and be present whether you can be in person. You will be grateful that you did after you got married.
Bonus Tip: Record Your Memories
Lastly, be sure to record your wedding planning journey. Whether making reels and videos about your process or writing some of your thoughts down each day, your wedding planning is a part of the process, not just what leads up to it. So, be sure to record what you may not remember. Take photos of your date with your spouse-to-be. Take photos of special time with your family and friends.
This is the time in your life you will look back on and say, “Oh, that’s when we were engaged!” The better you keep track of this time, the more you will remember that there was a part of your wedding planning that you enjoyed, and it will also help you to remember and be grateful for why you got married.
