Sunday, Monday Wedding Days. Tuesday, Wednesday Wedding Days. Thursday, Friday Break Days. Saturday What a Day to Take Another Break With You

Let’s do an exercise. Close your eyes… wait open them back up to read this.

Think back to when you were five years old, in kindergarten. It’s a sunny day outside. After eating lunch out of your Transformers or My Little Pony lunch pail and playing on the monkey bars or sand box outside, the fun gets interrupted when the bell rings to go back into the classroom. Dreading the schoolwork to come, the teacher surprises the class and tells all of you to lie down. And close your eyes. Why? It’s nap time. Quiet time…

Now open your eyes to the present. What was so great about the quiet time then that can be applied now? If you’re thinking: the fact that we need quiet time from all of the wedding planning, then you are correct!

Ladies! You know we love you, but you have to give us men a break from the wedding talk. The thoughts of the wedding and its planning do not run through our minds constantly. Set days to talk about the wedding planning, and set quiet days and/or times where absolutely no wedding talk goes on. You’ll give your man the refreshing break his ears need.

That’s not to say we’re not listening or don’t care. We do. We just don’t think about it 24/7 like you do. It’s more like 30 min/4.
