Weddings, dresses and dreams

Ah, weddings… No matter what they say, it is the most important event in every girl’s life. Most of us start planning our wedding as little kids. Drawings of you and your fiancé walking down the aisle, dreams of your future home, names of your children traced out carefully in your secret diary… Years later, already as a married woman and mother, you will find all this in one of unpacked boxes from your old place and flip through your clumsy notes with a quiet smile. Every bride wants her wedding to be perfect, but getting through it will take all your self-command. There are so many things to take care of – the dress, the hair, the catering, the music, the wedding wows… Much of this stuff will actually be done way behind schedule and you’ll be running late every second. Believe me, I’ve seen it hundreds of times :) If you weren’t married at least once, you can’t even imagine how many hours and nerves are spent on measuring, try-ons and fitting alone! Sometimes I had to stay in the atelier overnight for a last-minute makeover! By the time of your triumphal appearance – the moment you’ve been waiting for all your life – you’ll be a total wreck. That’s when you need to pull it together and make yourself shine even if you are on the verge of fainting. Don’t let anxiety ruin your day! And though there may (and will) be unplanned changes, awkward moments and all sorts of discrepancies, remember: even if your wedding doesn’t go exactly as you fancied, you still have a whole life together to make the rest of your dreams come true! To cheer you up, here is a list of songs for your first dance: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/19/fashion/weddings/your-first-dance-songs.html?_r=0  Mine was Para Tu Amor by Juanes :)
