I read about this in Modern Bride and it finally makes sense of my deep sadness of late:
"For the bride who thinks she should be blissfully happy -- but is freaking out instead -- comes this smart, compassionate guide to surviving the emotional upheaval of engagement.
At last – you’re newly engaged, with a beautiful ring on your finger and a great guy on your arm. There are parties planned in your honor, and you’ve found the dress of your dreams. This should be the happiest time of your life, right?
Not necessarily. The elation of engagement is often accompanied by a cocktail of unexpected emotions:
Anxiety about making a lifelong commitment
Sadness about leaving your single life behind
Confusion when even the simplest decisions – should we serve chicken cordon bleu or beef Wellington? – bring you to tears.
Worst of all, since everyone around you expects you to be happy, few brides feel there’s anyone (who won’t judge them) to go to with these conflicting feelings."
So many things have been happening. I have moved, I am graduating, friends are shifting and getting jobs, family management is always weird and did I mention, I am getting married?
Please pray for strength.
