It doesn’t matter whether it’s love or arranged, weddings are occasions that strain the nerves. As most of the brides say that weddings aren’t how you plan it to go but how others have planned it for you. You are just being ushered from one ceremony to another and if you want to enjoy it, it’s best to be in the moment. The most special day in a woman’s life is often just a whirlwind of activity and perhaps even a storm of stress. Whether its family members getting paranoid or the numerous ceremonies you are required to sit through, it’s hectic all the way.
Marriage is a stressful affair. Since it is an important milestone in life, one faces a major transition anxiety. Besides worries about whether you will be able to handle the responsibility and whether marriages work in today’s times, in the Indian cultural environment, there is also the additional stress of adjusting to a new family, a new environment and leaving your family behind. A gap between engagement and wedding can help in reducing stress and pressure on the D-Day. You may be your Dad’s princess living in very relaxed environment but your in-law may be particular about certain things. So this gap between engagement and marriage can help you understand each other families.
Once the wedding has been fixed, start planning. It is a good idea to be sure of clothes, the look and the makeup you want for each occasion. This way you avoid last minute glitches.
