Surprising Leap Day Advice for Brides

If you are just beginning the wedding planning process, as we discussed yesterday, February 29th is the perfect time to plan, to sketch out what her ideal wedding and wedding reception would look like.

But what about the bride who has been hard at her wedding planning for quite some time? What about the bride who already knows down to the specific elements of design how she wants her wedding day to look?

For those who fall into these categories, the best thing a bride (or couple) could do on Leap Day is to go do something physical to help burn off some steam and stress. Seriously.

• Go skiing - the snow is great this year pretty much all across the country.
• Go to an indoor pool and swim laps - then hang out in the sauna or hot tub.
• If the weather cooperates, go for a bike ride.
• Take a trip to the coast and walk on the beach.

The trick is to do pretty much anything physical - and make a point of not thinking about the wedding plans. The more an individual works their body, the more stress and tension will melt away and the more prepared they will be to take on the tasks ahead.

Besides, a day of physical activity will bring anyone that much closer to their weight loss goals so they will look like they hope to on their wedding day!

Making use of February 29th in this way will also benefit a couple in a manner that few people anticipate - especially if the couple spends the day in physical activity (such as skiing or beach combing) together. How? By taking a day away from the demands of life - such as wedding planning - and doing something together, as a couple!

That's right. You can build your marriage into something stronger than it might otherwise have been if you can set you wedding planning aside for one day and enjoy some strenuous activity together. Laugh. Run. Play. Build your marriage before the wedding.

You can worry about the toasting glasses on March 1st. Exciting Wedding Favors and Accessories will still be there for a couples at home shopping convenience. In the meantime, the best thing a bride who has been hard at work with her planning can do with the extra day that leap year provides it is to get out and do something physical that will leave them relaxed and refreshed.
