Over the last six weeks I\u2019ve been interviewed on multiple occasions by writers and radio hosts from across Canada with questions relating to the impending royal nuptials of William & Kate. We don\u2019t have any clients getting married on \u201cthat\u201d day \u2013 but even if we did it would never occur to me to compare their wedding to the royal wedding.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s enough pressure on brides to feel like a princess, lose weight, look perfect, etc. I think the pressures for a wedding spectacle get bigger all the time. Even if a couple has a $25,000 budget they still feel a certain expectation to have their wedding look like all the six- and seven-figure celebrity weddings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I received an email this morning from someone concerned that royal wedding comparisons can overshadow a bride\u2026and she speaks from experience:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Lisa\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I had the misfortune of getting married two weeks after the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana.\u00a0 My wedding was always being compared to the fairytale wedding and beautiful bride.\u00a0 No one spoke of my dress as they couldn’t stop talking about Lady Diana and how beautiful she was.\u00a0 If people only knew what a bummer that was to an already stressed out bride!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

During my ceremony the preacher stated, “We know this can’t be as beautiful a site as the wedding of the royals, but the love is still there<\/span>!”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every bride should feel like a princess on her wedding day \u2013 just don\u2019t worry about competing with \u201cthe\u201d princess (unless the Queen is planning to pay for your wedding too). And to all you Officiants out there with weddings on April 29th<\/sup> \u2013 DON\u2019T MENTION WILLIAM & KATE during the ceremony!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
