Engaged
One says "WILL YOU?" and the other says "YES!" and in an instant, both lives change irrevocably.
Your carefree days as a single person will soon be over and your priorities will all change.
You go to bed thinking of lists: wedding dresses, suits, hen/stag nights. You dream of venues and caterers and you wake up in the morning and read wedding and honeymoon brochures for breakfast!
In addition to these emotional stressors come the inevitable relationship challenges:
- Managing the 'new' you
- Exploring personal expectations
- Learning the art of compromise
- Strengthening your relationship
- Fear of being left at the altar
Whatever your challenges, face up to them and most importantly communicate effectively with your fiancé, both your families and all those involved in helping you prepare for your big day. If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed, then don't be afraid to seek help immediately.
