Whispers to a Bride: Emotional Insight for your Wedding Drama episodes

  • Episode 6: Your Parents

    Our culture is so singularly focused on the romantic love narrative that I think it really misses out on the love story that’s also wrapped into the wedding day- specifically with our parents.

    Parents think about the day- who they will be on that day, how they will feel, it’s a completion of their job in many ways. They think about how they pay for it.

    The bottom line is your parents are going through a major change and all of the emotion that comes with it. They are dealing with the relationship reshuffle, the new family dynamic, and the new life phase.

    What you’ll learn from this episode:

    • How much focus is on your wedding day from childhood (2:34)
    • How this is a new chapter in life for your parents as well (5:08)
    • The one thing that can help you when you are having conflict with your parents (5:53)
    • What to give your parents to mark your wedding day (9:32)
