The obsession for perfection and weddings
From a very young age, we are led to believe that our wedding will be a key defining moment in our lives, and therefore, it must be absolutely perfect. While a wedding is the first chance for a new couple to announce and celebrate their love and identity together, there doesn't need to be such an obsession over perfection.
The obsession with perfection is what can lead to such sicknesses as wedding fever. The wedding must have the ideal location, food, flowers, music, etc., while the bride, groom and their parties must be wearing flawless outfits and look like they've stepped out of a movie set.
It is these unrealistic expectations that often take the joy out of wedding planning, and the big day itself. With such great pressure for everything and everyone to be absolutely stunning, it can become overwhelming.
