The sheer exhaustion of planning a wedding can bring a bride to the brink—not to mention, her beleaguered groom.
Every girl wants the perfect wedding. It’s something most of us dream about as we devour those Mills & Boon romances growing up. But to come face-to-face with the moment that we have waited for so long can be a nerve-racking experience. There are guests to be invited, budgets to stick to, and decor, food, gifts, relatives and in-laws to be attended too. In such a situation, it’s natural to be in a perpetual high strung, emotional state.
“Bridal stress is unique. It’s temporary yet it’s connected to much deeper family dynamics and bigger emotional challenges,” says Pulkit Sharma, a Delhi based clinical psychologist and psychoanalytical therapist. “It can be easily triggered by practical issues. There is often a decision to make and a challenge to resolve—add all this to your anxiety about your life taking a new turn and you can get into a momentary tizzy.” But sustained stress of this kind can negatively impact your relationship. To ensure that the run-up to the wedding doesn’t obscure the reason you’re doing all this anyway (hint: you love this man), watch out for these potential stress traps and save yourself some Bridezilla moments.
