This past weekend I've had the privilege of getting to witness a beautiful ceremony between two people who truly care about each other. Not only was their wedding beautiful, but their love for one another was remarkable. You could tell as soon as the bride walked down the aisle, the groom was speechless. He had never seen anyone as beautiful as his wife before, and on that day he was grateful to be marrying her.

Most women who are about to get married go through the pre-wedding jitters. These jitters can either make or break you. Some brides will let those jitters take over their feelings to the point of no return; they no longer see their wedding as a happy day, but they see it as a day to be over with.

Coming up in the next month, I have the honor and privilege of being in my best friends wedding as her maid-of-honor. Not only am I excited about this, but so is she. As I've been to many weddings and seen how this process goes, I want to remind the soon-to-be brides these three things:

1. Don't let those pre-wedding jitters get to you. This should be a day that both you and your soon-to-be husband are excited about. This is a day of celebration, so you should be happy and joyful.

2. Remember, your soon-to-be husband is going through the same emotions. Men will get those pre-wedding jitters too but in a different perspective than we see it. They get those jitters because they know they are about to marry the woman of their dreams. They don't care about the decorations or how things look; all they care about it being able to marry you.

3. You gain a forever best friend. Yes, sometimes you will get in fights and times will get hard. Life is never going to be perfect and easy, sometimes you will go through the motions; it's like riding a roller coaster. Even though you all will go through the motions, you will also experience new memories together, such as: buying your first house, introducing yourself as "Mrs." to new people and living together in the same household.

Remember these three things and use them to strive in your relationship and to have a remarkable wedding day. As you are walking down the aisle to your forever best friend, just remind yourself that this is your day and your celebration. Everyone is at that wedding to see both of you come together as one. No one there is going to notice that you accidentally forgot to say a word, or that some decorations aren't as even as others; they only care about seeing you.

So to the ladies who are soon-to-be brides, I want to wish you many years of happiness. You will go through the motions, but the journey you spend with your forever love outweighs the struggles you'll go through. You'll become a team and you'll find that two is always better than one.
