The wedding planning experience is different for each couple, but most experience stress and anxiety that can negatively affect the relationship. During this time, remember that you are both a team and working towards a common goal. Romantic gestures and moments together during the pre-wedding time are very important and will not let you forget about the love that unites you. Love is beautiful in all its forms: coffee in bed, caring for each other during a cold, and the ability to share moments of happiness.
BRIDELIFESTYLE compiled 7 romantic activities to enjoy before the wedding with your loved one, which will create as many happy moments as possible before the special day.
There is nothing more romantic than handwritten letters. You can send thousands of text messages to each other, but the most important words are those written on a piece of paper. When writing a letter, think carefully about what you are saying because it will not be possible to delete or simply correct it, as in the case of text messages or e-mails. It creates a pleasant excitement, the desire to gather thoughts and choose the best words. This is a great exercise to prepare for wedding vows.
Love can be expressed with words and also with movement. Try going to a dance class together. As you dance, you will both be free and learn to be in sync. Even if you are preparing a special dance for your wedding day, attend extra classes for no particular reason. When preparing for a performance, you will be more tense, trying to remember the steps, but, while dancing for fun, it will be much easier to relax.
A great way to spend time at home is a movie night. If you go to the cinema, relive the feeling of your first date, but if you are at home, you can safely choose comfortable home clothes or pyjamas. In this case, it is possible to install a film corner, putting a lot of pillows and soft blankets on the carpet, where you can enjoy time close together if it gets cold.
Regardless of the place you choose, hold hands, share popcorn and enjoy the time together. You can choose a romantic movie that will remind you of the importance of relationships in your life, or on the contrary – a horror to watch embraced.
A picnic together is always a good idea, but a picnic at sunset or late summer night under the stars will be unforgettable. Imagine the slightly cool air of a summer night, a cosy blanket on your shoulders, and the starry sky. Leave your phones at home, get or prepare delicacies, light lanterns or outdoor candles and spend time talking.
In our daily lives, we often do not hear our partner's wishes, dreams, and needs. This is the right time to listen and share.
Twenty years ago, American psychologist Arthur Aaron compiled 36 questions, and by answering those strangers can fall in love. He experimented with a previously unknown girl and a boy who got married half a year later.
Even though this news shocked the whole world, not everyone knows about this list of questions. As you answer the questions, you gradually get to know each other. You may discover unfamiliar thoughts, experiences, or personality traits of your loved one. Answering questions will be accompanied by laughter, thoughts, tears, joy, and emotions that may be unexpected for you and your partner. Find these questions on Google, just type "36 Arthur Aron questions".
We are used to giving gifts on special holidays, anniversaries, or when we ask for forgiveness, but such a gesture will be much more unexpected and special just for no reason. Maybe your loved one has been wanting something for a long time. The gift does not have to be big, important that it is thoughtful. Experiences are also a great gift, such as a visit to a SPA or a horse carriage ride.
Romantic dates, gifts, and time spent together are wonderful ways to show each other your feelings and increase love and positive emotions, but you should not forget about small gestures. They do not require much time or resources, but they are important and will give each other a pleasant feeling. Chocolate left on a pillow, a cute note by the refrigerator or a text message is a pleasant reminder for a loved one and will strengthen the relationship. When your loved one is doing something you really like, say it out loud.
