Dating has always been part of the entire courtship experience.

What happens when you see this handsome guy across the hall?

He saw you too and walked up to you. You don’t know why but your heart was pounding faster and faster.

Both of you chatted for a short while and he asked for a date.

Do you say “yes”?

I have heard of this saying that if you want to drive a woman crazy, all you need to do is to let her plan a wedding, preferably her own.

I think it is very true.

She will go insane because of the people around her incuding her parents, her fiance, her family and the people she has to work with.

1. How will her parents drive her insane?

If you are planning your wedding, you will know what I meant. Parents want the best for their daughter, but they didn’t know that they cause more harm.

Have you ever feel as if your parent, especially your mom is planning for her own wedding?

She would want you to wear certain color, especially red for the Chinese as it represents good fortune.

I remembered my mother-in-law wanted my wife to choose a bright red wedding gown and it looked so odd. Nowadays, youngsters like us want to choose contemporary color which suit our character and the current trend.

Can you imagine wearing your mom’s wedding gown now?

Being bombarded with 101 things to do for your wedding?

It sounds really common as almost all brides and grooms feel really stressful while planning their wedding.

I have heard of brides who can’t take the stress and ended up cancelling weddings.

Others were more fortunate in the sense things do work out at the end even though there are many nerve-wrecking moments while planning the weddings.

What are some of the common stress you could be facing?

Unrealistic expectations from your mother-in-law, insufficient money for your wedding, not being able to take time out to plan your wedding outside work, feeling unsupported from your husband-to-be…

the list goes on and on…

So what kind of stress are you facing now? You can write in the comment box below.

You are at your half way mark planning your wedding and you feeling stressed out.

All along, you thought that planning your own wedding is fun and relaxing. Everything should be happy as it is a happy occassion after all. And you neevr expected your wedding to be a stress filled wedding!

While planning your wedding venue, you met up with an uncooperative staff who was not very responsive.

While trying to get your photographer, the price of hiring a good one overshoot your budget and you are confused if you should get one at all.

While planning your wedding, your fiance is too busy to help you out in anything at all and you are collasping.

These are real scenarios and yours may be worse. Your so-called responsible wedding helpers may leave you halfway because of disagreement in simple things like the color of bridesmaids’ dresses or they have to work that day.

You thought you are in safe hands but sorry you are not.

Oh know, you feel yourself exploding from inside out and you are just another thought closer to cancelling your own wedding.

So, how do you remove all these wedding stresses and have a stress free wedding?

I always hear from my friends that they are always very busy with their work.

All of us have the same amount of time per day and some can do more while others can do less.

I seriously think that it is the issue of time management that determine if a person has “enough” time for himself.

I believe that work is a very common excuse that all of us use during some of the times.

When we can’t go for some gathering, we will use work as a reason.

“Oh, I have so much work to do. Maybe next time.”

I can really empathise with those who truly have alot of work to do.

However, I would like to remind ourselves that the amount of work we can have is endless.

It is never-ending. However, the time we can have with our wife is unpredictable.

It may be a few tens of years or even just a few months or days.

We can never tell. No one can.

Can you?
