During the next two or three weeks I am going to devote myself to providing practical, time tested tips that will help any bride to manage, relieve, or reduce the stress that so naturally follows the act of wedding planning - and stress will follow. Anything worth doing is difficult enough to produce stress and something as big as today's wedding celebrations clearly are a stress producer for all but the most twisted of us!
Of course I make that last statement tongue in cheek - but... to plan something as big as a wedding. Well, any wise bride will keep a bag of stress relieving tricks up her sleeve.
Today's tip: Ignore the media and politicians when they talk about how bad the economy is. The media will stretch the story to grab ratings or sales and most politicians, and I don't care what stripe we are talking about, will lie if it will help them grab more power and influence for themselves.
True, there are a lot of people who are out of work, but a wedding is not about the nation's economy. A wedding is about the celebration of the commitment of love between two people - and no one wants stress to ruin their wedding.
Instead, a bride should consider the celebration they want to look back on with fondness over the years and temper it with the economic realities of her own situation (besides, there are a lot of ways to save money on wedding planning without giving up entirely).
But don't listen to the modern news media. That will only add stress.
