This is how you can be there for your friend who is also a soon-to-be bride.
Growing up, we all dream of our marriage and plan the details with our friends. When the day comes and it is finally time to see off our beloved friend, we don’t know what to do. We feel both, emotional and responsible.
So, what is the right way to be supportive of our friend as she begins a new journey in her life?
Here are some ways to take care of your BFF and ways in which you can help her out until D-Day.
- Don’t think this will change anything about your friendship. As this change comes, both of you will start to think of how it will affect your friendship. Remember, you got through a lot of things in life together and you will do it again by having faith in each other.
- Allow her to process things. It will be a huge transition in her life and everyone needs some time to adjust to that. Make sure you allow her to absorb everything around her and still be present when she needs her bestie.
- Help her through the major tasks and event planning. There will surely be a lot of things to help out with. Let her know that you are there to help and take tasks off her plate.
- Be as involved as she’d like you to be. It is only practical to accept that a few things will be changing. Allow her to sort things out at her own pace.
- Plan your girls night and have a heart-to-heart. There will be a lot to discuss and you can help your friend deal with pre-marital jitters. Spending some quality time together will make you two feel a lot better and prepared.
Here are some ways to support your friends before the big day. Remember, you will eventually learn to adjust to this new life so don’t remember to have fun and enjoy the celebrations.
