Coping with being the
Center of Attention
|
|
For most brides, their wedding day is the day they have been dreaming about since they started playing Barbies! Every detail has been planned, including walking down the aisle, hearing: "and you may kiss the bride," and having your first dance with "Ken."

The thought of all eyes on you makes
some feel extra special - but for others, it makes them weak
in the knees. From the moment he proposed, attention begins
to shift to you and your wedding plans and will continue
through to your wedding day. Family, friends and co-workers
are delighted and excited! If the thought of being the center of attention terrifies you, here are a few suggestions:
| |
| -
Instead of the "traditional"
wedding shower, have a couple's wedding shower. This way you both will share in the "limelight".
-
The thought of every watching you as you sit at the head
table can be a real scare for many! There are many
options to choose from when deciding on the head table
- including a sweetheart table with just you and your
husband (and perhaps the maid-of-honor and best man) or
sit at a regular table with your parents. Learn more on
Head Tables.
-
Start the first dance together and then request
family and friends to join you on the dance floor. If
possible, take dance lessons or practice at home before
the big day. The more confident you feel, the easier
this will be!
-
Be sure to tell your family and friends that you would like to keep a relatively low profile, so they won't plan any surprise parties for you.
-
At the ceremony, include special people to do a reading, sing, speak;
include children as ringbearers and flowergirls to
divert the attention to others.

Remember that this is good attention! Your family and
friends are just excited and want to share this moment with
you. Try to relax and enjoy.
