You wouldn't expect a football team to head to a game as important as the Super Bowl without someone on the sidelines guiding them toward victory, would you? As a recently (or soon-to-be) engaged person or couple, having someone standing on the sidelines helping to guide you through your wedding and the changes your life together is about to take is just as, if not more, important.
You're getting married and every book or magazine you've ever read, every dream you've ever had, and everyone you've ever spoken to says that your wedding day is supposed to be the happiest day of your life and your engagement period pure bliss. But, suddenly, you're not feeling very happy. You feel stressed out, overly emotional or perhaps unusually combative. What's wrong with you? Nothing.
Getting married is one of the biggest life-changing events you'll ever experience. You're entering a time where you are legally and emotionally committing yourself to another forever. You are giving up a single life where possibly you and you alone were the most important person in your existence, a state where, since you became an adult, you didn't have to account to anyone else about your decisions, your feelings, or your general state of mind. Now, there is someone who is going to be your partner in life, someone who is just as accountable to you as you are to him or her.
Add to your tension, you have now entered a phase where planning your wedding has become like a second job. Plus, it's a job that you have never been trained to handle. Whether you are working with a wedding planner or not, there are dozens of decisions that have to be made on an almost daily basis to achieve the perfect, blow-their-socks-off, fairy tale wedding that your guests will talk about for years to come.
How can you be expected to achieve such perfection and maintain your sanity when the "wedding wackies" attack?
Unless you are a rare individual, one without any genuine emotions, you most likely can'tÉby yourself. That's where a bridal coach comes into play.
You are facing the most major transition of your life and you don't know where to turn. Worse, your support system, those friends and family members you normally lean on to help you through any of life's bumps may not be able to help in this situation because they, too, may be adding to your "drama." After all, they, too, have an emotional investment in your special day's outcome.
A wedding coach, a relatively new, but growing, area of expertise in the wedding industry, can guide you through the highs and occasional lows, of not only the emotional aspects of planning your wedding but also starting off your married life together properly.
And that's why we're here to help you. We'll help you determine what is truly important to you. We'll assist you to navigate all of the ups and downs of planning your wedding. We'll work with you to guide you toward setting goals, reasonable expectations and negotiating compromises that are essential for any long and happy marriage.
Of course there are books available about relationships and seminars to attend, but we will offer counseling that is personalized to YOUR situation. Each person or couple has his or her own needs and we will work with you to achieve your individual goals.
This is not psychotherapy. This is practical guidance that has helped individuals or couples like you for decades Ð the type of advice that we have shared with our bridal clients and readers for years.
With our combined experience of more than fifty years helping brides and grooms (and occasionally their families) plan their weddings, we will share with you practical guidelines for a successful wedding and the beginning of your lifelong happy marriage.
It's like getting invaluable advice from a trusted and wise friend who always steers you in the right direction, except that we can approach your problem without the emotional baggage or agenda that a friend or family member might bring to your situation.
