Most brides focus on the wedding but not what comes after. This is expected because it is such a huge event and all the attention goes on the bride and what needs to get done. However, not too many people talk about the actual marriage and the real work that comes into play following the festivities. I found a book that has really helped me to understand what is involved in a marriage and has helped me significantly in putting my wedding into perspective. Think one day versus a lifetime and you’ll understand what I mean. The book is called, “What No One Tells the Bride,” by Marg Stark. And I really recommend it for all of you brides-to-be out there who feel the pressure of your wedding day. This book helps you with that and gives you information on everything that follows.
In that same respect, there are a lot of other details that follows the wedding that you may not even think about until later. Have you chosen your thank you cards yet? I know I’ve mentioned them in previous posts, but I had a great idea about how to take advantage of using your new name on your sweet notes of appreciation. How about making address labels with your new last name on them and attach these to your cards? This, I think, would be a fabulous end to your wedding and beginning of your marriage.
