From what I've been told, weddings are a hotbed for stress, anxiety and a hell of a lot of finicky details.
As You Beauty co-host Kelly McCarren wrote for Mamamia about her wedding: "I had nightmares about things not going right, I was controlling and pedantic about every tiny little detail, and I was incapable of delegating anything for help. The wedding consumed my time and money for a solid 18 months of my life. And it was a disaster."
Of course, not all weddings end up being "disaster" days. Yet for many brides and grooms alike, it can be a pretty stressful event to plan – both emotionally, logistically and financially.
It's at this point that the Pollyanna in me screams: "Weddings should be fun, exciting, special and only a little bit stressful."
