Most
of us turn into Bridezilla at one time or another, whether we like to admit it
or not. Usually, however there is only
one witness, your Mom. This is an
extremely stressful time for the mother of the bride. She has to be so many things to so many
people but most of all she has to see her little girl walk down the aisle and
away from her side. This is the woman
who has been someone’s daughter, someone’s lover, a caregiver and a
nurturer. She planned your first
birthday, took care of you when you were sick, consoled you when you were
heartbroken and now she will be there on the most wonderfully special day of
your life…..your wedding. This is no
easy feat. She will cry when you put
your dress on for the first time, help you through the stressful times and
agree with you when you are clearly turning into bridezilla, telling everyone
else how well you have handled the stress of organising a wedding.
She will fold invitations, remember the
things that you forget, pay vendors and still love you at the end of it. Why? Because she is your mother, she has
brought you into this world and because she loves you with every bit of her
soul.
Your
Moms efforts should not be expected or go unnoticed by you. Yes, she will still love you after you abuse
her compassion but you need to love her back.
Before
the wedding invite your Mom to a special day with just you. Go to a botanical garden for a picnic or go
to a spa for some relaxation sessions.
You could also get a bottle of wine and buy some beauty treats for Mom, like Esses' organic skincare range for more mature skins.
