Your bridesmaids are stressing you out.

The dresses aren’t right.

You have to go to another fitting.

Umm, sorry, this wedding coordinator is not going to work.

Future Mother-In-Law has now turned into current witch-in-law.

You can’t agree on the menu.

The flowers won’t be just right.

Oh the day in the life of a bride.

But admist all of this, all I have to say is what have you done for your future marriage?

Because after the bridesmaids are gone, the dresses are put away, the wedding coordinator is on to her next gig, the food has been digested and the flowers have wilted; all you will have is you and the person you are spending the rest of your life with.

I hope you’ve taken as much time to prepare for the rest of your life as you have preparing for one short day.

Good luck.

With all this wedding talk I thought it was time to take a step back and think of what comes after the wedding- marriage.

In an interview with Glamour, Jennifer Lopez tells how she and Skeletor Marc Anthony make it work:

“We made all these promises to each other in the beginning of the marriage, because both of us have difficult careers to manage with a partner. We don’t have 9-to-5 jobs; our day could be 24 hours long if we let it. So you have to carve out your time and make your agreements: ‘We are going to travel with each other. If I’m working, you’re not going to work. If we both have to work, we’re going to make sure we keep that to a minimum.’” [SOURCE: US Magazine ]

I have a hard time trusting relationship advice from someone who is a home wrecker in Hollywood; but she makes a good point. In order to make it work, you have to discuss things beforehand, you have to lay out all of your expectations, and you have to make time for your partner.
