Keep Your Friends Closer

Today, I attended a 50th birthday brunch for the fabulous Joyce Dungee Proctor (Seminars by Joyce: www.seminarsbyjoyce.com) at the Christiana Hilton. Throughout the day, I listened to the reflections that were made and it made me tear the whole time. She has a host of friends from all walks of life. Today she received her flowers while she is alive. It was awesome.

The importance of friends was made apparent and it is important that on your wedding day that you specifically select the friends that will be able to openly communicate with you to inform you of your behavior or question the style for the betterment of the wedding day.

I have experienced having conversations with brides that have added additional bridesmaids and groomsmen to make their wedding look larger than what it actually was. Unlike the bridezilla mantra of the bridesmaid is supposed to be the bride's maid, the bride should gather the bridesmaids that mean the most to her and that are special in her life. The same goes for the groom.

Remember that your decision to get married will change some of your established relationships and your true friends will be there during and after the wedding. Keep those friends closer so that you have someone on speed dial when you have job or relationship issues.

Call one of your friends today and let them know how much you appreciate them!
