Follow this mini blog series, get to know these brides, and learn about the range of emotions they experienced — so you can get a sense of what you may go through on your big day. Here, the brides share how they felt 15 minutes before their wedding ceremony.

Dear Newly Engaged Me:  Here's a laundry list of what I wish I'd known from the start:

This bride worked with me for 6 months.
​She wrote this blog 3 months after her wedding.

Dear Newly Engaged Me:

First, slow down.  Enjoy getting engaged. Let it really sink in.  Float on Cloud 9 for a while. 

Do not listen to everyone who says you must run out and pick a venue a year in advance. It’s simply not true. 

Enjoy ring shopping

It’s the best part of the wedding-planning process, because you’re the only one involved. 

​Your opinion is the only one you’re hearing.  
It won't always be like that.

Everyone will have an opinion -- simply. everyone. Your boss, co-workers, cashiers at the grocery store, every sales person in the wedding industry.  Everyone seems to have opinions about everything.

Educate yourself about what's normal -- but not talked about

Your engagement will be a wild ride, emotionally.  

You will be exhausted, emotionally, early on. Be nice to yourself, take a step back, don’t think about the wedding for a while.  Take a break, you will need it. 

Read and re-read Allison’s book, Emotionally Engaged: A Bride's Guide to Surviving the "Happiest" Time of Your Life again and again and watch the Happy Bride's Secret Toolkit videos.  Educate yourself on what's normal for brides-to-be to feel, but not talked about.

Let go of any expectations you may have.  You won’t be able to anticipate what happens next.
