How to stay calm on your wedding planning (100 days to go)
So last year we hit 100 days before.

It was a great mark for both of us because when fiance was in school, they had this event of 100night count before graduation. So hitting 100, we were like! Oh my!

 Now I undestand gasp! Attacks!

But I decided to stay calm on all this.

And here are my tips:

1. Take a deep breath. Remember and count what the wedding is for. Its about your union. and not about the event. We should never please the people, but please the Lord.

   It worked pretty much because as I informed Paul, we exchanged Iloveyou's and taaadaaa! We are back
to a great posture of poise and beauty in the midst of this planning.
            

2. PRAY...PRAY...PRAY... AND TRUST IN THE LORD

God is the provider of everything that we need. He sustains us. Blesses us.

And he wrote this love story that you have. He gave everything. Now, why would he let you stumble in just the remaining 100 days. At most you should be happier. The best day of your life is getting in closer. And its going to be great.

When we think that we are the one who will solve the problem it isn't gonna work.
As for us, we were already realistic with the wedding expenses but something happened that we both cannot do anything. Because of work, fiance has no access to any banks in his area. No way to send me some money. When I was thinking I can do this on my own, I fell apart. It was difficult. I felt deprived.

Then I was moved by the holy spirit to trust in God more. Let him take over this.
And then miracle after miracle happens. I was provided. I get what I needed and even with extra for myself. :)

3. Take a Breather
      Believe it or not, I took 2 weeks off the planning. :) yup!
      I've heard from a young pastor and church-mate named Elijahmar that there are 2 types of being tired: Emotionally/Spiritually and Physically. So let me say this, wedding planning has been great. I loved every part of it and even thinking of having it as a back up profession, but it is tiring too and taking a rest was cool. Now, I'm back and I'm on a roll.

4. When Ready, re-establish

        So after the breather, we can check a look back on our time frame. And see what needs to be done, whats the delay, the cause of delay and illiminate.

        As a future wife, part of this too is getting ready for submission. And there are things on decision making that I like coming from Paul. I respect him and his thoughts counts. :)

5. Ask Help

Now now... who ever said you can have and do it all is a lier. A helping hand is a helping hand.

   Biblically speaking from www.reviveourhearts.com and the lies women believe, God has designed us for a purpose and once we accept that, just then do we feel most contented. You can check out (Lies women belief and the truth that sets them free from the link to know more)

Anyway, going back to the help. I have several people who are helping me. And though I may be working on all this directly, the help I get from family and friends are very much appreciated.

So there it is Brides... KEEP CALM! It's going to be a great day.

Cool stuff about this wedding:
