Yes, You Are Having A Celebrity Wedding!

Congratulations, you’re a star! The minute you announced you were getting married, you became special to friends and family in a way you’ve never experienced. So believe it or not, in their eyes, you are a having a celebrity wedding! Here’s the low-down on how to handle the fame.

The “paparazzi” chasing you may be a little nutty – everyone wants to spend time with you and find out how the wedding planning is going. Just like Hollywood celebrity brides, you’ll get the same questions repeatedly. Have you chosen reception centerpieces? What’s the wedding dress like? Have patience.

Keep in mind, no one’s actively trying to drive you crazy, they just want to share your excitement. So when they ask a million questions, smile and know you’re loved. Enjoy your moment in the spotlight. And use a little powder. You know, for the cameras.

Be well, and love well.

No Good Wedding Shows On TV? (Psst- Your Best Option May Be on The Channel Of Life)

There’s nothing on TV, and yet you find yourself sitting on the sofa flipping through the channels.  Let me throw some metaphysical theory at you. Maybe the universe is telling you “Hey! Go do something else already!”  Whether you’re planning a wedding or not, keep an eye out for hints that you’re not using your time in the best way. Not that the best way is always sorting place cards or organizing bookshelves.  Sometimes a bubble bath is just what the doctor ordered.

 

Be well, and love well.
