A blank page.
I can talk all day long, but put a blank piece of paper in front of me and I tend to freeze up. I think it all comes back to honors classes in school and hearing, “This could have been a little tighter on the wording.” Or “Could you expand on that thought?” I understand that the teachers were pushing me so that I could become more. I became worried about putting thoughts on paper and someone judging my thoughts. So, I began to speak. Often times I will carry a voice recorder with me in the car and just talk to myself. I have an entire novel saved in recorded voice format. Someday, when I don’t have three kids to assign and check their schoolwork (they are home schooled), when I have a little more time, (yeah right) I will publish.
How does all of this relate to wedding planning?
Many times I will get a call. “I put off finding a caterer (florist, dress-yikes!!) How do I find someone now, a month before the wedding?”
While this may be a difficult situation, it can be done. The very first thing is to STOP procrastinating!! Sit down RIGHT NOW with that blank piece of paper. What do you have? What do you need? If you need a list to check off, find one on-line. There are many wedding websites that have free planning information. If you need help get it. Mom, sister, and best friend can be enlisted to help. Wedding coordinators are also a source to call upon. While a coordinator is not free, you do not need to be rich and famous to utilize a professional. The money that you save may well pay for her services. She is being paid for her time, which means that she is making the time for your wedding that you may not have.
At any rate, get a plan in place, seek help when needed, and most of all, enjoy your wedding.
