Are You Planning Your Dream Wedding or Someone Else’s?
The Pressure to Please
Wedding planning can sometimes feel like a delicate dance between personal desires and external pressures. From well-meaning family members to social expectations, it’s easy to get swept up in what everyone else thinks your wedding oughta be.
But here’s an important question to ask yourself: Is this wedding really mine, or am I just fulfilling someone else’s dream?
A Deep Dive into Authentic Desire
When you’re planning your wedding, take a moment to check in with yourself. What do you truly want?
Are you envisioning a grand ballroom with hundreds of guests because you feel it’s expected? Or do you dream of an intimate ceremony by the beach, surrounded by a few of your closest?
Your wedding is an opportunity to express who you are, as an individual and as a couple. It’s a chance to make decisions that reflect your love, your connection, and your vibe.
Your Inner Voice
Your inner
Do you feel excited about a decision, or do you feel obligated?
Are you inspired by an idea, or are you doing it because it’s what “everyone else does”?
The more you check in with yourself and your partner, the more your wedding will reflect who you are, not who anyone else thinks you should be.
Reclaiming Your Wedding
If you’re feeling the weight of external expectations, it’s time to take a step back. Your wedding is a reflection of you.
Find the courage to say no to what doesn’t align with your vision. It’s okay to outgrow old traditions if they don’t speak to your heart.
Remember, your wedding is the beginning of your life together. Make it meaningful, authentic, and true to who you both are.
Your dream wedding doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. It’s important that it feels resonate to you. Trust your intuition, listen to your heart, and create a day that’s a true expression of your love and your future together.
