I certainly wouldn't claim to be an expert at this (avoiding bride-zilla), but I have come to notice the power of music to influence. I have also come to notice as wonderful and exciting as starting my life with J is, planning a wedding is emotionally, physically, and mentally exhausting. My advice to fellow brides and future brides is this, get yourself a KILLER PLAYLIST. Include songs that make you happy wedding related or not, relaxing happy songs that remind you of your guy. I choose songs from Father of the Bride and songs on my sisters wedding video, just good tunes that remind me of the joyous giddy feeling of being a bride. Whenever I feel stressed I pop in my playlist and enjoy. It's also good because these songs will always take me back to wedding days later in life. My suggestions below...
