Tips to keep nerves calm on your wedding day
Keep calm
There are a few easy ways for the bride and groom to calm
their nerves on the days leading up to their wedding, which
can be integral to the success of the day. (Ms photo)
MS — When couples tie the knot,
many changes are in store, many
compromises will be made and
many lasting memories will be
created. But in the weeks and
months before their big days,
couples can easily get caught up in
the whirlwind of wedding planning,
never taking inventory of their
feelings until their wedding days
have arrived.
Come their wedding days, couples
should not be surprised if some
nerves set in. A survey from the
anxiety self-help resource The Fear

anxiety. Maybe you have doubts on
financial choices or where you will
be living after the wedding.
Communicating openly and honestly
is one of the foundations of a strong
relationship.
• Slow down and breathe:
Wedding planning involves making
many decisions, and sometimes
couples move at breakneck speeds.
Make slowing down a priority. Try
