Dahling, I don't know how it feels like to be a bride who's planning her wedding, but after the events of last April, I think it's pretty safe to say that if my cousin and I could do it, so can you.

Don't know if you recall, but my cousin Lori decided to do a shotgun wedding THE DAY AFTER WE BURIED MY GRANDMA. She literally only had 3 weeks to get an officiant, secure an outdoor area for the ceremony, and book a banquet room for the reception. What was supposed to be an intimate 40-person affair turned into 150! Mind you, this was all done in three weeks in addition to preparing for grandma's funeral.

I pretty much lost my mind because it was my duty as her best friend and maid of honor, but it was a great bonding experience between she and I.

Just remember that it's okay to relax when you feel like you need a break. I'm positive that you're gonna have a beautiful wedding!
