Because It's a Once-in-a-Lifetime Moment: Do You Have the Heart of Compassion Needed to Become a Beloved Bride?

I Want to Be the Beloved Bride ♡

To all the brides-to-be preparing for your wedding, thank you for all the hard work in your busy daily lives to prepare for your big day! *

A wedding is often said to be a once-in-a-lifetime grand stage for women. Of course, there will be many moments throughout life that shine just as brightly, and creating opportunities for those moments contributes to a person's character as well. *

However, the day of the wedding is still special ♡ The ceremony marking the union of two individuals, who have walked separate paths, into a married couple is undoubtedly one of the happiest moments that should be etched into the pages of one's life. ♡

To make such moments even better and more wonderful, these days, one can gather various pieces of information and ideas.

In the past, wedding planners would suggest everything, and brides would only have to show up on the day of the wedding. Nowadays, more and more brides are taking the lead in preparing for their weddings, making it quite challenging for brides-to-be preparing for their ceremonies.

This may be due to the fact that the nature of weddings is slowly changing from traditional ways.

In the past, weddings were something that "parents and families prepared." However, as the nuclear family system has developed and we have entered an era of individuals, weddings have become commercialized, leading to ceremonies that are mostly organized by the couple themselves — a shift in which the couple takes on the role of the hosts... this is the background of the change.

The Most Important Thing is to Have a Wedding That Satisfies You ♡

That’s why today’s brides-to-be can freely create their ideal wedding ceremony, and that is a wonderful aspect! ♡

The advantage of this free era is that you can do whatever you want. Within your own limits, you can fulfill all of your desires. *

In the past, weddings were prepared based on family background and local customs, and one simply had to follow those established practices, but that isn't the case anymore nowadays. ♩ You can freely choose venues, outfits, performances, decorations, and create the best wedding for yourself! ♡

However, there's just one thing I want you to keep in mind. In this age of self-actualization, it’s important not to forget the people around you.

A wedding should be the most memorable moment of your life, but you mustn’t forget that there are guests who are there to watch over you. *

Losing sight of the people around you while engrossed in wedding preparations may be fun for you, but it may not be pleasant for those around you.

Feeling anxious and overly busy with the thought, “I’m paying so much money, so I just want to have a wedding I’m satisfied with!” might lead others to think, “She's in a wedding high and it’s tiring to be with her.”

Preparing for a wedding is fun. However, amidst all that, I would like to present you with a checklist to help you avoid falling into a wedding high.

To Become the Beloved Bride ♡ Don’t Forget This Bride's Mindset ① Be Grateful to Your Guests!

First and foremost, never forget to express gratitude to your guests ♡

You can have a happy wedding because many guests gather and create a warm atmosphere. *

It is the mix of the couple's happy aura and the guests’ blessings that creates the ultimate joyful wedding! ♡

So, brides should always remember to say, "Thank you for coming!" to express their gratitude. * Guests who take their time to celebrate your union are invaluable. ♡

To Become the Beloved Bride ♡ Don’t Forget This Bride's Mindset ② Offer Hospitality to Your Guests ♡

Ensure to offer your utmost hospitality to the guests attending your wedding ♩ The first step when you go around the tables is to express, "Thank you for coming!" *

Additionally, you must also be mindful of your budget. I believe the newlyweds' intention is to reduce costs wherever possible for the wedding, but I recommend not cutting down on what’s spent on the guests. *

When discussing the wedding details, a dilemma often arises regarding the quality and selection of gifts, food, and drinks.

Guests are not attending the wedding just for the food and drink, neither are they there solely for the gift bags.

Above all, they are there to celebrate the happiness and new life of the couple.

So, there is no need to feel pressured to provide the highest rank of meals, drinks, and gifts just to meet their expectations.

However, as the couple, you are in a position to offer hospitality ♡ We want to avoid creating a situation where guests can easily see that the food and drinks are of the lowest quality, which could be disappointing.

While the rank of items is truly not that important, what should be considered is whether you would be satisfied if you were attending this wedding.

If significant money is spent on performances and attire, but the food, drink, and gifts are set on a lower budget, it’s only natural for guests to think, “I wonder if they're only thinking about themselves?”

Balance is key!

With the goal of creating a satisfying wedding for everyone, let’s aim to provide guests the finest hospitality while considering the overall balance! ♩

To Become the Beloved Bride ♡ Don’t Forget This Bride's Mindset ③ Stay Lovey-Dovey with Your Partner ♡

Lastly, the most important thing for brides to focus on is “to be happy” ♡

Once you get married and take a new last name, you are starting a different life. *

Please welcome this new chapter of life with a heart full of happiness ♡ The guests will all be watching with joy and admiration at the dazzling start! ♡

Wedding preparations can be challenging. You may experience delays in your plans and arguments with your partner.

But during those times, I want you to remember: what is the purpose of the wedding?

A wedding is a time to say to those who have been supporting you, “We have become a couple. We will build a warm family. Please continue to watch over us.”

Therefore, above all, it’s the couple appearing happy and in love, creating a feeling that inspires support among the guests that is their greatest desire.

If you are arguing or have tense moments, it's easy for guests to pick up on that.

Embrace each other with an open heart, acknowledge one another, and approach your wedding day with happiness and love! ♡

Three Promises to Become the Beloved Bride for Your Guests ＊

Recently, there has been a strong trend of focusing on weddings, with wedding accounts becoming popular, so brides-to-be are well-equipped with information and in pursuit of ideals, making preparations incredibly enjoyable! ♡

This is truly a happy situation, but on the other hand, a wedding exists because of the guests who attend.

With terms like "wedding high" and "wedding terror," it appears that the efforts put forth by brides in wedding preparations can sometimes come off as “forgetting the gratitude for those who will attend their wedding in trying to create the best wedding.”

To avoid being perceived this way, while enjoying the preparations, please do not forget your feelings of gratitude toward your guests and aim to have a joyful wedding! ♡

The most wonderful wedding is one where all the guests, the planners, staff, relatives, and the couple themselves all feel happy together. ♡
