15 days to go 🤭🥴

Take a breath ! Things will be fine. You get to marry your best friend, focus on that

We are date twins! Take deep breaths and try to center yourself. Remember the real reason is that you're marrying your bff. Everything will work out fine ❤

If you can take some time for yourself. Maybe a massage or facial where you can relax. Lots of deep breathing and get lots of rest. It will all be over soon and you will be married.

I suffer chronic anxiety and hate being the center of attention. A wedding is pretty much my worst nightmare. Here’s what helps me:

1. Focus on the big picture. Try not to fret about every little detail. Overall, you are planning a celebration of love. The small details will get lost in everyone’s minds. They will remember how they felt at your wedding but not all the small stuff. You will remember how you felt. Focus on good feelings and your intent: marrying your best friend.

2. Find someone you REALLY trust and ask them to take care of details and issues as they arise. My sister is my “point man”. If someone has a problem or complaint, they can take it to her. She won’t tell me anything about it. Have someone bar the bad people from entering. If they can’t, make sure they don’t get anywhere near you.

3. Focus on your partner. Discuss with him how he feels as the wedding approaches. Is he feeling anxious? Is he excited? What does he worry about? You are the love of his life. With or without an extra 3 pounds. Get some affirmation. Share a good kiss and a snuggle to start getting reacquainted physically before you full move to the main event. Buy a honeymoon nightie you feel really sexy in. If you don’t feel great when you look in the mirror, try one in a different color like red or black. Buy a cute pair of slippers or a nice robe.

4. Lean on your support system. Your “good”relatives, your maid of honor, your friends, your future in-laws. Coming down the home stretch, you need people to lean on.

5. Be kind to yourself. It’s a stressful time. Take a hot shower, have a good cry and an adult beverage, and then get back to business. Repeat to yourself “I’ve got this!” As many times as it takes. Because you do.

Enjoy this special time. Be kind to yourself. You’re going to be fine. 💕
