Are you planning a wedding? Step away from the ledge

Fear

Anxiety

Stress

Overwhelmed

Exhaustion

Congratulations!  You're getting married!

Ha!  Oddly enough, many brides planning their weddings know the dichotomy of the above list.  

Take some advice from a photographer that we know from a wedding vendor forum.  She writes:

I spent the last week up until my last bride's wedding sending her daily text messages reminding her to take a deep breath and have a glass of wine.  

She was one second away from epic melt down so I played therapist/wedding planner/best friend/photographer hats the whole time.   

I sent her little notes like: 

"this is your daily off-the-ledge text message.  You hired professionals.  All you have to do is show up and let us handle it.  Now, go have a glass of wine and pet your dog."

Good advice.  :)
