Tips For Newly Engaged Couples
Many couples often feel pressured by society to rush into making decisions or planning extravagant weddings. However, it's important to remember that you have the freedom to choose your own path based on your budget and personal preferences. Take the time to savor the joyous stage of being engaged, as it is a unique and irreplaceable moment. Don't succumb to the pressure of doing things too big or quickly. Instead, concentrate on what truly matters to both of you as a couple, allowing your genuine energy, vibe, and uniqueness to shine through. Embrace the present, cherish the love surrounding you, and relish in the anticipation of the next chapter of your life. Your wedding day is a magical day that is very important to mark the next chapter of your life.
In today's podcast episode, Rhea shares tips to help newly engaged couples in their journey. Your engagement and wedding is about your personal journey and unique story. Don’t allow the pressure from the industry, society, friends, and family to sway you into something that doesn't align with your desires. While everyone may have an opinion on what you should do and how you should do it, their opinions may not hold significance to you. Stay focused on what you want, what matters to you, and what you care about most.
Listen in and learn from the wisdom Rhea imparts. Take her tips to heart, but also trust your instincts and intuition. This is your love story, and only you and your partner can write its chapters.
