10 Things Brides LOVE Hearing

There are so many blog posts and magazine articles about things that brides are TIRED of hearing but there are also things that Bride’s adore hearing! Here are my top ten things that Brides love hearing!

  1. “I am SO happy for you!!” Obvious but it still feels amazing to revel in your joy with a friend or someone you’ve never met.
  2. “You and _____ make such a wonderful couple. I know how much you love each other.” (This is what the entire wedding should be about, how much you truly love one another. I love it when people remind me they see it too!)
  3. “How is work/school/sport?” (It might sound strange but sometimes I just don’t want to talk about my wedding. I know. Totally nuts. It can be easy to forget that there is more to life than weddings when you’re about to have one. I always appreciate when anyone asks how the REST of my life is coming along!)
  4. “What can I do to help?” (Being a bride is extremely overwhelming at times, and even though she probably won’t take up your offer to help it feels good to know someone cares enough to ask. <3 )
  5. “Would you like me to come to your _____ appointment with you?” (This is one of my favourite things anyone can say lately because there are so many meetings, appointments, fittings etc. and especially when family isn’t close, having friends around for support means the world!)
  6. “Where are you registered?” 😉 (Self explanatory)
  7. “I can’t wait to be part of your special day!”
  8. “I love your choice of ______! It’s so beautiful and unique!” (Even though a bride is confident in her personal touches for her wedding, it still feelings ah-mazing when someone else recognizes all the extra effort you put in!)
  9. “I know of a great app/site/person that can do ____ for less!” (Everyone knows how incredibly expensive weddings are/can be, and if someone finds a great deal and wants to share their tips and tricks with you- it’s even better!)
  10. “I wish and pray for a long life of happiness together”. (This is the thing that can bring a tear to my eye no matter who says it. Giving your well wishes to a couple who is about to embark on a new journey together is truly the greatest gift you can ever give a couple.) <3

    Awww now I feel like a horrible friend. It’s been a while since I walked down the isle but I nearly feel apart LOL. You’re always so smiley and happy that I forget how much stress you must be under. You’re one of the sweetest, kindest people I know and I’m so happy for you.

    Aww, this post makes me think of my wedding and as a former bride I totally agree with all these, especially #4 and #5! Wedding planning (assuming you do it yourself) is a lot of work, so any help is always appreciated!

    It’s great that you love these things because it’s some of what I tell brides when I see them. It’s always nice to be a part of the planning process and take some of that added stress off the bride!

    Being a bride you must be tired of hearing all kinds of stuff about the wedding so that’s why I liked number 3 as that takes your mind off from the wedding for a little while and lets you realize, hey, I still have a life both before, during and after my wedding, haha. So I’ll be that friend who asks you how work was. 🙂

    Awe I love this! Number 3 was such a surprise, but I can totally see why brides must love it – a girl has got to have other things going on in her life too! Great post.
