If there is one thing you should not include in your wedding that is: expectation! It can become all too easy to have others influence your wedding day and what should happen. But did you know that most of these expectations are wedding myths?
Your wedding is whatever you want it to be! It is an intimate moment that brings you and your fiance together as husband and wife. You don’t have to abide by whatever myths circulate about how to create the perfect wedding day.
To help clear the air, here are a few wedding day myths…debunked.
WEDDING MYTHS: DEBUNKED
MYTH: “You will cry the entire time!”
From the proposal to saying I do, many brides and grooms feel as though something is wrong with them if they aren’t tearing up during the emotional moments. This is definitely not true! Some people will wear their hearts on their sleeves, others will keep their emotions for a more private moment. Either way is 100% normal and shouldn’t have an expectation attached to it!
MYTH: “You need to include wedding traditions during your day!”
From a veil, a garter, to the bouquet toss…there are dozens of wedding traditions around. You may have gotten swept up in the ideas since you were young, but don’t feel like you have to follow tradition. Not all brides want to wear a white dress! Some don’t like the bouquet toss, so skip it. As for the veil, it’s stunning but won’t make or break your day! Be sure whatever you do, is for you and not for the sake of tradition!
MYTH: “It will be cheaper if you DIY!”
Bringing an element of DIY to your wedding can be truly magical, and is often done in an attempt to reduce costs and make the wedding process easier. It may seem like a great idea, but trying to be a DIY queen can actually increase your costs. Be sure to do lots of research first and don’t overcommit yourself!
MYTH: “You HAVE to stick to a timeline.”
Many people believe that weddings have a rather strict timeline. Whether it’s how long you should be engaged, or how long the reception should be, there are expectations surrounding every element. Your wedding timeline should suit you as a couple and can be chopped and changed to work for you. Be sure to always respect your vendor’s contracted time in your timeline and have fun with building it!
Sure there are other wedding myths, but these are the ones I wanted to put a spotlight on today! Which wedding myth is your favorite to debunk? Leave your favorites in the comments!
Until next time…
