Don’t be surprised,
however, if suddenly you feel blue for a moment. Many brides describe
being flooded by an irrational sadness at some point during the
holidays.
Perhaps it happens
during an engagement party thrown for you. Or as you’re opening gifts
on Christmas morning, your fiancé by your side for the first time. Or
as you go to sleep in your girlhood bed.
You can’t predict when
this sadness hits, but it’ll be easier to bear if you understand why.
The sadness hits when
you realize that it’s an end of an era in your life. Next Christmas,
you won’t be sleeping in your girlhood bed, but in the guest room, with
your husband.
Or maybe it hits when
you’re driving from your family’s house to his family’s house. You’ve
never had to leave your family before: indeed, this is an end of an
era.
So, as excited as you
are about getting married to this great guy, and as much fun as you’re
having celebrating your first holiday season together, don’t be
surprised if you feel blue. It’s the end of an era, and any change, no
matter how positive, is hard.
