Chapter 7 begins the second stage of my book: Beidging. 

In Bridging, brides start to look into their futures with happiness and excitement rather than with the anxiety that was so present earlier on.

Emotionally Engaged Chapter 7

Looking forward, not back

Many brides-to-be describe their transitions out of the Ending stage and into the Bridging stage of their engagements like a fog finally lifting. 
For the early months of their engagement, they walked around consumed by feelings of loss and disorientation as they let go of old ways of being. 

They felt that the confusion would never end. They’ve been afraid that they’d be in a down, depressed funk on their wedding day, and that they’d never feel happy or excited about getting married, even though, deep down, they trusted that that was what they wanted to do.

As the wedding approaches , joyful anticipation creeps back in

Once you enter the Bridging stage, you will have made the internal psychological adjustments necessary to begin you new life as a married woman...
