FREE ADVICE BEFORE SIGNING UP FOR COACHING
Weddings are the most complex event—logistically and interpersonally—that most of us plan in our entire lives. Does any of this sound familiar?
- money is promised and then taken back or given with "strings" attached
- a mother who tries to get her way on everything
- divorced parents who put you in the middle
- a bridesmaid who acts like it’s her wedding
- a groom who doesn’t follow through
- a wedding list that no one can agree on
The advice in bridal land is simplistic at best "It's your day, do what you want." Honestly if it were all about you, then why would anyone be stressed out planning a wedding? They would simply steamroll over their loved ones, show up and have a wonderful wedding. But we all know it isn't that simple. Afterall, the very people stressing you out are the ones you love and want to be part of your big day.
Why is there so much bad advice out there? Wedding professionals are amazing at what they do - wedding coordinators, florists, bakers, dj's. But they aren't necessarily trained in individual counseling, let alone marriage and family counseling. Weddings are an extremely intense environment for families and engaged couples. So many competing notions of etiquette, wedding roles and money come crashing together for the day two families come together to watch a new family be created.
The immediate problems you are facing are in fact part of a larger system. The more perspective you can gain in what is going on the more you will be able to resolve current and future stressors that will come up.
