At some point, the fairy tale bubble bursts. You thought this was going to be a time filled with every dream coming true, agreeable parents and loved ones, every plan coming together without a hassle. It was supposed to be all rainbows and rose petals. And then [insert sound of screeching tires] a friend says she can't make it to the wedding, the church won't allow videography (what?!), the tulip crop froze overseas so they won't be available, your hairstylist has another booking that morning and you have to find someone else to do your Up-Do. Every bride faces these unforeseen problems, and every bride is at a crossroads:

Do I let it get to me or not?

Think about the law of averages. You have literally hundreds of elements to your wedding day. It's more realistic that some things will go wrong than that nothing will go wrong. So when your bubble bursts, and you see that you haven't been granted some kind of Cosmic Perfection Blessing, you're now in a GREAT position to work more rationally on your wedding plans. You won't be thrown by the next snafu...and there will be one...you're not operating under an unrealistic mindset that everything should go your way. Some things are just out of your control, so you get to find that solution and move on to the next fun part of your planning.

It's a good thing when the bubble bursts. You're finally a 'real' bride.
