Brides.com: What It's REALLY Like to be a Bride

1/26/2015

Seems like this blog of mine on Brides.com has really resonated with brides.  It even prompted one to just pick up the phone and start working with me!  

What's It's REALLY Like to be a Bride:  Hap-hap-happy and excited every minute of every day, 24/7/365: That's the public face of being a bride.

Friends, family, co-workers mean well, but meeting hyper-enthusiastic and hyper-excited energy about your wedding can be exhausting. 

As a bride-to-be, you find yourself saying things like, "Yes, my wedding is in 19 months, and it is very, very, very exciting!" 

Or, "I really am enjoying every single moment of getting to know my future mother-in-law better!" 

And "Thank you, so very much, for offering me so many creative ideas for my wedding!"

The pressure you feel to be only happy and only excited can really wear you out.....

Brides.com: What To Do If you Freak Out Like Carrie Bradshaw

Brides.com blogs by Allison Moir-Smith
This was a fun one to write! -- Allison

From Brides.com: 

You know the scene: On a whim, Carrie and pregnant Miranda go to a downmarket, tacky bridal shop to try on wedding dresses, just for fun. 

"One, two, three!" they pop simultaneously out of the dressing rooms and screech with laughter when they see the other in big bows, poofy sleeves, lace flying everywhere. 

Carrie steps up on the pedestal, dons a veil, and then totally panics: "I can't breathe! It's too tight! I'm burning up! Just rip it!" An attack of hives. 

Thanks, Carrie Bradshaw, for traumatizing a whole new generation ofwedding-dress shopping brides.

Don't miss last week's post on Brides.com.

Who was the random person who popped into your mind during your proposal...and why?  

From Brides.com: 

The first thought that crossed Rachel's mind when her fiancé got down on one knee: "OMG! OMG! I totally want to marry you! Yay! Yay! Yay! OMG! OMG! OMG!"

The second thought: "This is going to break Dad's heart."

The third: "Seriously? Why am I thinking about Dad right now?"

What a great attitude and approach to marriage.
