How to Overcome Wedding Stress
There are four causes of wedding stress:
Money is the major cause of wedding stress. After all, a wedding is about spending money, and nancial stress is often a byproduct of a wedding. To put it in perspective, an average wedding in the United States may cost between $20,000 and $30,000, and a 5-tier wedding cake could have a price tag of well over $2,000, not to mention the other accessories that come with the celebration, such as wedding attire,
the ceremony and the reception, among others. Everything costs money, and money creates stress, especially in this economic environment.
The second cause of wedding stress is the many details that come with wedding planning. Although it
is often just a one-day event, a wedding involves many details, such as the ceremony, the reception, the honeymoon, the bachelorette parties, the rehearsal dinner, the bridal dress, the bouquets and flowers, the gifts and favors, the decoration, and the photography, among others. These many overwhelming details involving multitude of venues and personnel are often a source of conflicts, disagreements, and disputes among those involved in the planning.
