The veil lifts dramatically to the left side of the image, creating movement as she turns slightly. The room has dark floral wallpaper behind the bed, a deep blue velvet bedspread, polished wooden floors, and soft natural light coming through tall windows on the right. A pale pink round stool sits in the foreground.]⁠

The arguments during wedding planning are rarely a The arguments during wedding planning are rarely about the thing you're arguing about.⁠
⁠
For our Mindful Issue, we asked four experts to help us name what's actually going on when wedding planning starts to feel like too much. The emotional weight, the unexpected guilt, the arguments about seating charts that aren't really about seating charts.⁠
⁠
Psychologist @drannabatho, counsellor and kinesiologist Carolyn King of @empowered.happiness, mindfulness coach @sachastewart_⁠, and confidence coach @fionaspence_noexcuses all weighed in, and what they had to say is worth reading, whether you're deep in the planning trenches or just starting out.⁠
