United States - Sept 2nd 2013- Your engagement might be new,
but, this wedding planning tip is as ancient as time! There is an old adage
directed to the phenomena of a person not seeing something staring directly at
them – “If it were a snake, it would have
bitten me!” Stop, think for a
minute. There are many things that we do
not see, but affect us none-the-less.
For example, you can’t see the air that you are breathing in. – But, stop breathing it, and you will
die! We can’t physically see a “thought” or a “feeling”, but, perhaps their expressions. What about the human
cells which repair your body? - They produce healing, whether you see them
or not! None of these can be seen with the naked eye, yet, they navigate
the fate of the essential things which support life. Our living is influenced
by countless unseen protagonists and antagonists.
BRIDES JUST DON’T SEE IT COMING! THE
VENOMOUS WEDDING SNAKE STRIKES FAST, HARD AND, IT IS POWERFULLY RELENTLESS
Question - How does this relate to wedding planning? Answer, “You take you wherever you go!” “What!” you exclaim!
A True Bride Dilemma - The
Solution Is Both Simple And Profound!
“She, a bride-to-be, had a
horrible time deciding what wedding cake, dress, shoes, location, etc. After all, it was all about the budget, and
sticking to it. In fact, she and her groom had so financially little, well,
there really wasn’t a budget!” They
planned their wedding on a “hope and a
prayer!” And, with every bombardment of suggestions, the dilemma accrued
momentum, to the point of “critical mass”. Does this describe you, yet?
In short, my dear bride, our culture has hold
of you, and it will not let you go! Twisted communications come from every where demanding
you obey. – This is exactly what you must have to be a happy bride! From the “greedy” wedding professional to
the celebrity’s $ 6,000.00 for a pair of bridal shoes! – Also, weighing in are magazines,
Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, your friends, or mum who wants you to have what
she didn’t! Help! Brides are screaming from the four corners of
America, “Stop The World, I Want To Get Off!”
IDENTIFYING THE PROVERBIAL VENOMOUS WEDDING SNAKE BEFORE IT BITES
“A Perspective Check, More Important Than A Financial Reality Check”

My father used to say, “Well, when I found out what was causing it,
I stopped!” - This to be the solution
to that “unwanted thing” repetitively
occurring. But, me, I would rather
identify the phantom before it bites.
This is what I mean by, “You take
yourself with you every where you go!” So, why not know you better! Who you are is
identifiable, if you take the time to be a “self-identifer”.
And, this is true to determining the
wedding planning values that really matter.
These values go far beyond the wedding day. So, begin a “Wedding Values” List today.
– This idea and practice, is a Dr. Linda original! I will even start you off, and, then continue
the series of “Wedding Planning Values”
questions in the future.
1. Picture yourself 20 years
after your wedding. Perhaps, long after
your Great –Aunt or Father or dearest friend has passed away. When you look back, what gives you the “warm and fuzzies”, or “puts a smile on your face”? What really
matters to you then? – The pleasant memory of that “frozen in time” hug with
your father or dearest friend, or your rhinestone Louis Vuitton wedding shoes? -
Those hours talking about your joy-filled future marriage with your Great-
Auntie at Starbucks, or your rhinestone Louis Vuitton wedding shoes? Your answer says a lot about you, now. And,
it makes a statement about how much you need a “Wedding Planning Values” List before you start planning!
