After all, Of course you want to marry him. Heck, even Kate Middleton probably wondered if William really is the Prince Charming for her happy-ever-after.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s easy \u2013 and very understandable \u2013 to worry about pre-wedding jitters that seem to strike out of the blue. Thankfully in majority of cases these jitters don\u2019t signify anything serious. Men, of course, experience them, but are much more likely to keep such worries to themselves. At least women tend to share them with their best friends and hopefully get much needed reassurance.<\/p>\n

Why do women get these jangling nerves?<\/p>\n

I find there are two main culprits responsible for most pre-wedding worries. Firstly, it\u2019s easy to start over-analysing a stress-inducing situation. And no matter how happy your big day ends up, the run-up to a wedding is almost always stressful. This means that getting stressed starts sapping your confidence and from there it\u2019s a downward spiral: the more stressed you feel, the more you doubt yourself and what you really want out of life.<\/p>\n

Left unchecked many brides end up with sleepless nights and even more jitters. They question things like is he right for me? Do I really love him? How am I going to feel in 10 years time? Once you\u2019ve put such questions into perspective (see advice below) your anxieties start to fade.<\/p>\n

Beware of the \u2018body-issue\u2019 jitters<\/b><\/p>\n

The second main reason women start doubting they want to walk down the aisle, sadly connects to their fears about their size and shape. When, as a little girl, they\u2019d dream about being a princess for the day, with all eyes on them, as a grown-up they suddenly they fear all eyes will be on any extra lumps and bumps \u2013 real or imagined.<\/p>\n

This is a sad and pointless reason for pre-wedding jitters. Your groom and guests will only be thinking about how radiant and beautiful you look as you and your happy glow come down the aisle. No one notices whether or not you\u2019ve gained weight \u2013 they\u2019ve come to see your big day and want to share in your happiness.<\/p>\n

Coping with your anxieties and jitters<\/b><\/p>\n

Start with issues you might have around your size and shape and get practical \u2013 have your dress fitted when you\u2019re at a comfortable weight, rather than after you\u2019ve dieted down to a level that will leave you feeling faint on the day.<\/p>\n

Resist last-minute dieting \u2013 you\u2019ll only have to get your dress taken in and you will not look at your best on the day \u2013 gaunt and pinched isn\u2019t a good look!\u00a0 Put into perspective any worry over your size and shape<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
