Why this blog?

Beauty blogs are afloat aplenty, fashion advice comes dime a dozen. They make sure you look the best on your big day, but how do you keep yourself from going mad in the run up to the first life changing event that you would have a full recollection of, by way of the numerous photographs, videos, facebooks posts and what not!!!

 So in the interest of bridekind (the dictionary would take some time to adopt the word, but you get what I mean) I've decided to take a stab at it.

But first a confession, before I started writing this I did search the net for "Bridal Stress" and what I got was adverts for psychiatrists who tell you feeling stressed is normal. I mean.. Come On!!... That's the best they could come up with? Given that they are licensed and have access to anti depressants, does that excuse them from even trying to understand female emotions? I get it.. who would listen to a woman ramble when it's easier to pop a placebo and tell her it will take care of her "stress".

Mind you I'm only exaggerating a bit :) don't take it personally. I too agree it's alright to be stressed before your wedding, but what I wanted to tell you really was, that it's completely natural to not be stressed too!!
Yeah I know we women!! How can we have stark opposite reactions to one situation? The answer is simple.. we're special (not crazy.. just special :D) each and every one is different. And yet, we might connect in some strange way.

The bottom line is that I'm super freaked that I'm not the least bit stressed about my wedding at all! The psychiatrist website says I'm supposed to be a emotional roller coaster 4 months away from my wedding. And all I'm feeling right now is elated on the free pass on the unlimited guilt free shopping!! So I thought, maybe if fellow brides-to-be validate my non-stress as completely normal, I'll save shrink money and buy another super outfit for myself ;) great plan no??

Looking forward to more heart to hearts in the future!

Lots of Love,
A clearly non-stressed yet "Bride-to-be"
