Big Wedding Energy
Planning your wedding should be one of the happiest times of your life. Why then are so many brides mentally and physically exhausted by the time the big day rolls around? The answer is simple – they are suffering from Big Wedding Energy Drain! In my new book, BIG Weddings SUCK! I introduce Kayleigh, a bride who almost suffered a nervous breakdown while planning her wedding. You see, planning a big wedding can almost be a full-time job! Kayleigh likened her experience to being a full-time event planner without any experience! She soon turned to sleeping tablets just to get some rest and says the wedding day itself passed her by in a blur.
How Common is Big Wedding Energy Drain?
The sad part is, Kayleigh’s story is not an unusual one. A recent study suggested that around half of all couples believe wedding planning placed a tremendous amount of strain on their relationship. Anyone who has ever been engaged knows that from the moment you announce the happy news, every single person you know immediately starts offering you advice! Then comes the overwhelming number of decisions to make and the ever-increasing big wedding costs that I spoke about this blog. I think it is easy to see how big wedding energy drain happens, right? The bigger the wedding is, the more energy goes into making plans!
Exploring Big Wedding Energy Drain
I explore big wedding energy drain further in my book, including a look at the direct link between how the high cost of a big wedding increases the likelihood of divorce. I’ll leave you with one important thought to consider. When you are planning a wedding, it is important not to lose sight of why you are getting married in the first place! It’s all about spending your lives together, not the perfect floral arrangements and the most expensive cake! If wedding planning is taking its toll then maybe the time has come to hit pause and rethink things? Downsizing to a small wedding elopement package could be healthier for your relationship.
