When it comes to preparing for your wedding day, it is not uncommon that you end up trying new diet regimes to cut down in order to look your very best for the big day. However, aside from this there is certain non-physical 'diets', which you must take into consideration a lot more in the hopes of having a smooth wedding event. The days and months leading to your wedding day can often feel like a roller coaster of emotions. And you can take wrong actions when negative feelings filter through your mind without restraint. In order to avoid any meltdowns, wedding jitters or changes of plans there are a few things that every bride-to-be should avoid doing before the big day:
1. Don't play with fire. The short time you have leading towards your big day is not a good time to be talking to your ex-boyfriends and/or other guys you may be attracted to. For some of us doing this may not seem like that big of a deal at all. As long as nothing has happened or is happening – there is no harm in it, right? Unfortunately, your emotions can be running up the wall right before your wedding day that anything is in fact possible during this time. Taking the risk in communicating with the opposite sex during this period especially is the equivalent of playing with fire. Instead of gamble your future away by doing something, which could potentially cause you to have cold feet and/or a change of heart, it is best to simply cut down on any contacts with anyone you were in love with or are remotely attracted to.
2. Don't start any drama with your parents and in-laws. The process of wedding planning can feel stressful enough especially when your parents and/or in-laws have certain preferences about the wedding, which clashes with yours. Tension is already going to be high with them therefore; it would not be wise to start any kind of drama with them around this time. This is the moment where you should be picking our battles and understand that under no circumstances should you lose your 'cool' before the wedding especially towards your parents and in-laws. Be as patient as you could possibly be with them because it will all be worth it in the end.
3. Don't pick a fight with your fiance. This is probably one of the hardest things to cut back on because once again, wedding planning can feel incredibly overwhelming. And when you feel stressed out or exhausted you can end up lashing out on the people closest to you – your fiance unfortunately, will most likely get the bad end of the stick. If there are certain things, which triggers arguments to happen – be aware of the root cause of the problem. It may just be that you are worried about the wedding day, which has nothing to do with your relationship. Do not mix and confuse the two together as it can end up causing you to have doubts on whether or not you should get married. Be careful not to take out your anger towards your partner.
It is completely normal to feel nervous about your upcoming wedding day but it is important that you have some control over your emotions. Cutting back on doing these things above will help you manage your emotions better and avoid the possibility of you having a major breakdown before your wedding day.
