When Close Family and Friends Cannot Make it to Your Destination Wedding…

The majority of destination weddings will have a slimmer guest list than a hometown fete.

Stave off Stress

  • Eat nutritiously every three hours. Try to include protein at each meal—this slows down the digestion of the meal, which ensures that you will have a steady release of energy to sustain you throughout the day. It will also keep your metabolism revved, help stabilize moods, prevent you from getting too hungry and help minimize cravings. Always have breakfast! This will set the tone for the rest of your day!
  • Drink plenty of water. It will help keep your skin glowing, flush toxins from your body, increase energy levels, help manage your appetite etc., etc., etc. Herbal teas are also great!  Make sure you constantly have a bottle of water handy—on your desk, in your bag, at the gym….
  • Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. They are loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fibre and water—all the things you need to stay healthy and vibrant! Frozen fruits and vegetables are great, as well as homemade soups. So stock up and make sure they are always available for you.
  • Dry skin brush. This is a fantastic way to stimulate circulation, improve your complexion and skin tone, help reduce signs of cellulite and make you feel vibrant and healthy. You will need a soft natural fibre brush with a long handle so that you are able to reach all areas of your body.

Days Away

We are officially 12 days away and the butterflies are bouncing all around my stomach. The thought of my girl in her gown with a big smile on her face sends me soaring. It’s like I see everything in slow motion. All the friends and family coming together—what a great idea this marriage thing is.

I plan to breathe deep and be present and open myself and mean what I say. I’m really excited to do this. There’s gonna be lots of love going around.

And Brandy and I have realized we’re going to be broke as soon as it’s over. Anxiety aside, there’s something fun about that—starting our lives together with nothing but each other. It’ll make us appreciate everything we build.
