A Beautiful Bride

Leer en español

Brides always look beautiful. Well, brides should always look beautiful. Can you imagine waiting at the end of the aisle for an ugly bride? Even worse, can you imagine being that bride? Only in a nightmare.

A lot of pressure is put on the bride. Everybody is going to stare at you on your wedding day, the ones you care of are going to check every piece of detail in you: from the jewels to the shoes, makeup, hair, style, dress, bouquet, etc. So, before taking the big step you need to make sure that you are going to be as beautiful as ever. As you read bride magazines or navigate through wedding portals, a huge beauty check-list is elaborated in your mind: diet, style, make-up, spas, hair, really expensive treatments or even plastic surgery. Only after going through all of these you will here the magic words: “You look amazing!”

Meanwhile, the groom relaxes. He just needs to be impeccably shaved and well combed. And even then, nobody will look at him the way that people will stare at the bride. The point is that, oh dear! I start to feel under pressure. There’s so much to do! When and where do I start from?

Well, I will figure that out tomorrow, meanwhile I’ll say goodbye to bread, chocolate and sugar.
