7 Bride Chilla Ways to Get Ready for Your Big Day

A lot of people are asking me about wedding preps and how I’m dealing with the stress of it all. Honestly, I’m actually doing fine! Yes, it can be quite challenging to balance expectations and make sure everyone involved is happy. Slater and I had something similar in mind- a quiet intimate ceremony somewhere out of the country. However, our immediate family want us to do it in the Philippines- and in the most traditional sense. A big wedding with all 99999 members of our family and friends to join us. Even though we weren’t so keen on the idea, both of us know that wedding celebrations are really a family affair, and we would much rather have our parents happy and involved than rub elbows the wrong way just because we want something different. I’ve come to realize that all these preparations don’t really matter in the long run. If they go smoothly-great. If not, it’s okay. As long as I get to marry the love of my life- I’m good. So in the middle of it all, it’s easy to take a step back and really think about the reason why we’re doing all this. It’s not for show, it doesn’t have to be perfect. And when you realize that- it will be so much easier to turn from Bridezilla to Bridechilla. Oh, and these 7 steps below won’t hurt either.
