Sophie had no reason to stress before the big day and yet, as her wedding day approached, she literally made herself sick. She gives us her advice as a young bride.
Getting married to the love of your life, bringing together all our friends and family… A unique and wonderful moment to enjoy. If all the service providers are booked and your fittings for the wedding dress take place on time, there is no reason to worry before the big day. And yet, many future brides stress, not because They doubt their choice, but because they simply dread the moment. Not to mention the small hazards (cancellations from a service provider at the last minute, missing accessories, absent guests, etc.).
This is the case of Sophie, who married Fabien at the beginning of July, and who has internalized a lot. “I felt totally relaxed and zen, but my body was telling me otherwise. A week before the wedding I had rashes on my elbows and knees, huge itching and the day before the wedding as well as in the morning I had a very bad stomach ache. she tells us. One of her colleagues, who is getting married in a few days, encounters the same problem: “I also had redness and itching on my lower legs and arms, and when my witnesses were worried about not arriving on time, I started vomiting“. So, what can you do to ease the drama as the happiest day of your life approaches?
Sophie has tried everything: anti-stress spray to put under the tongue in case of peak anxiety, a massage, antihistamines to reduce itching and even a glass of vodka to try to relax on the big day… “Whatever you do, the most effective thing is to sit down and take a deep breath.”. She advises future brides to surround themselves well: do not bring people who could stress you out, but on the contrary, who have a rather calm temperament on the day of the preparations. Plan a small dinner with your best friends the night before and go to bed early to get a good night’s sleep. Also try to delegate as much as possible to reduce your mental load (assign someone to collect the bouquet of flowers, contact service providers, and all the little details that will save you from thinking about a thousand and one things on the big day). Finally, take some medications that may be useful to you in the event of stress, such as Doliprane or Spasfon in the event of digestive disorders.
After consulting her doctor, Sophie confirms that all these little inconveniences disappeared the moment she saw all her guests. The evening also allowed him to release the pressure: so relax and enjoy these precious moments. In a few days, everything will be better!
