4. Take time to reassure your partner...<br />
It’s a good idea to make it clear that<br />
freaking out about the wedding does<br />
not mean you’re not super happy about<br />
getting married. It’s just the same old<br />
crap you’ve had to deal with for years<br />
being magnified by the wedding stress.<br />
You’re both going to feel a bit weird<br />
at times – it’s a big deal – but let your<br />
partner know that it doesn’t mean your<br />
relationship isn’t 100% solid.<br />
5. It’s OK to not enjoy being the centre<br />
of attention...<br />
As an anxious person, being on display<br />
isn’t really part of your MO, but it’s an<br />
integral part of any wedding. Selfconsciousness<br />
might not be something<br />
you consider until quite close to the day<br />
itself, but it’s a good idea to plan for it.<br />
6. It’s fine to be selfish and put yourself<br />
first...<br />
You’re going to feel pretty delicate the<br />
week before the wedding, even if you’ve<br />
been careful and looked after yourself.<br />
7. Don’t be afraid to let things go...<br />
You might feel the only way for things<br />
to go “perfectly” on the wedding day is<br />
if you keep a close eye on all of it, but<br />
that’s actually the best possible way to<br />
utterly exhaust yourself, which can make<br />
anxiety worse.<br />
And after the big day...<br />
You didn’t let anxiety hold you back, you<br />
got married, and you’re awesome. It can<br />
be a scary time for anyone and you did it!<br />
Until next time...<br />
