Well there is someone you can talk to, and who can help you deal with the dilemmas and situations that come up, on your path to the temple, gurdwara, mosque, church (delete as appropriate)

| Psychologist Mamta Saha, knows the importance of being calm and collective on your big day |
Who wouldn't like to know how to keep the in-laws sweet and eating out of the palm of your hand or handle family meetings with ease and confidence.
We all want the transition from being engaged to be married be a smooth one. So wouldn’t it be great to have that ‘exclusive’ support just for you throughout this once in a lifetime journey?
I asked Mamta for some top tips...
Brides it is important that even throughout the planning of your wedding you have space for yourself. Plan to take a minimum of 20 minutes out everyday for some ‘me time’. This will help you get your thoughts in order, calm yourself down and regroup.
Also, if you find yourself getting really stressed project yourself out of your situation and take a helicopter perspective on things. Doing this helps you to get some context on your situation and also helps you to appreciate what is going on rather then become stressed by it.
Lastly, know that every action has a reaction, So choose your words and behaviour carefully. Weddings can be extremely tense and stressful but don’t make anyone your punch bag. Count to ten, take a deep breath and know that when you ‘calm down and carry on’ you will feel less stressed, a lot clearer and certainty lighter – hopefully creating that glow just in time for your big day. Good luck!
