Are You Obsessed With Your Wedding?

Kansas Wedding Articles » Wedding Planning

Many young women plan their wedding from the days when they were little girls playing with dolls. They imagine having a pillowcase over their heads and pretending this is a veil. As they get older they start deciding who would be their bridesmaids and perhaps even where the ceremony would be held. Lots of young women spend lots of time daydreaming about their wedding.

So it is little surprise that when these young women actually do get engaged, their wedding planning takes them quite a bit overboard. They talk about their wedding to just about everyone – their family, their friends, their manicurist and anyone that comes by their place of work. While some of these young women are happy, some of these young women are truly obsessed with their weddings. Being obsessed with anything is unhealthy.

You can tell a bride is obsessed about her wedding if she leads every conversation to her wedding. So if you begin a conversation about perhaps a current event and somehow it winds up becoming a conversation about wedding flowers. An obsessed bride will take any conversation and turn it into one about herself and her wedding plans. That is the most important part, an obsessed bride is actually not obsessed about the wedding but she is obsessed with how the wedding relates to herself.

An obsessed bride is also very focused on every detail of her wedding. She may be very funny about her wedding flowers. Or selecting each and every song that the dj or band plays. The obsessed bride doesn’t focus on the fact that it is the entire day that will be a joy; she gets tied up in fussing about every little thing. She worries that everything needs to be “perfect.” A rational person knows that things truly are not perfect.

So how can you not be an obsessed bride? Focus on the relationships in your life. Your wedding is but one single day in your entire life. Hopefully your marriage will reach its fiftieth anniversary – or even farther. That is much more important than whether you have roses or lilies at your wedding ceremony. Focusing on what is truly important will actually make your wedding so much more special. You’ll enjoy it much more. If you are having trouble letting go of the obsession, try to journal your feelings out about your expectations of the wedding. You may be expecting something unrealistic from your wedding that it just can’t deliver. It is important to let your wedding be what it is meant to be.
