Whispers to a Bride: Emotional Insight for your Wedding Drama

So much of wedding talk is about wanting to create a vibe.

So many brides think a lot about how to create the vibe they going for on their wedding day. And while the atmosphere (venue, decor, etc) communicates certain energy or vibe, the strongest factor in creating the wedding vibe you want is to learn how to communicate it with your own energy.

In this episode, we are discussing how you can create the vibe you want for your wedding now just imagining it.

Is it bad to be knee deep in planning and just ask yourself and your fiancé “wouldn’t it make more sense to just elope?”

Whether it's the complicated logistics of hotel blocks and transportation, the unhappy family members who aren’t getting their way, the ballooning expenses, or just the overwhelm of the sheer amount of decisions.

Maybe it’s just that the wedding has become a bit of a monster that has taken over your entire relationship and you miss the life you had before wedding planning.

In this episode, we are talking about how it’s normal and predictable to be completely over it and want to just bag it all and elope.

How can you manage your feelings on the big day?

How can you make sure you feel the way you want to feel?

You want to feel good. You want to enjoy it. You want to be happy. You want to be present and soak it all in. But how?

It can feel like it’s the thing you have the least control over. You think that you have to wait to see what happens in order to know how you are going to feel.

In this episode, I just want you to flip the paradigm a bit. Your wedding day isn’t going to tell you how to feel, you are going to tell your wedding day how your feel.

I want to remind you today that your wedding is a changing thing.

At one point, it was a dream, a vision, or a fantasy. Then at some point, your wedding becomes a possibility. You are dating someone you can envision marrying, suddenly the possibility of your own wedding is within your reachable reality.

Then if you are engaged and planning a wedding, your wedding becomes a choice, a reality, and an event. It can become a source of joy, and pain. It can be a dream, a nightmare, or both at the same time.

Then as your wedding gets closer, it’s a day, an event, and a significant moment in time. Then, poof, it will be done. It will be over. It will be gone and it will morph into a memory, a photograph, a story.

In this episode, I want to remind you that the story of your wedding is a changing thing. What it will mean will change over time.

When we think about weddings, we think about what we want them to be. Where we want them, what it will look like, the flowers, the music, the dress, the food, the dance floor, the guest list, and all the details.

We think about Pinterest, Instagram, and Tik Tok. We think about the movies we have seen, we think about the weddings we’ve been to, and the images that have been in our minds.

Yet, if we don’t ask ourselves the deeper question, our wants can feel really empty. They can fail to deliver on the happiness that they seemed to promise.

In this episode, I want you to ask yourself a million times what do I want and let yourself go nuts.

So many brides have strong visions of their weddings. Often based on old visions, movies, Instagram, or Pinterest.

Have you ever heard the phrase Le Pause?

Le Pause is a french baby sleep training technique where when you hear your baby cry in the middle of the night, you don’t rush straight away to get them, you give it a pause, and see if they resettle.

I love this idea and I am advocating that we bring Le Pause to the bridal journey.

Most brides jump right to wedding planning as soon as they are engaged but what if we took a pause here instead?

In this episode, I explain why pausing is so important not only for yourself but for your relationship.
