Wedding Planning Therapy: Should Couples Consider It for Their Nuptials?

Couples are always so surprised when they begin to plan their wedding and realize it's not all flowers and lace. It's logistics, it's placating, it's navigating heightened emotions. That being said, all the bellyaching (usually) results in what is the happiest and most memorable day of both of their lives. But for those who think the stress is just too much, there are therapists like Landis Bejar, founder of Aisle Talk in New York City. Bejar brings couples in for sessions specially-tailored around wedding-related issues, like dictatorial in-laws or religious differences at the ceremony. "Therapy is an evolving space and a sanctuary for many people that can grow with you through life stages and transitions," Bejar told Insider. "Some find that it becomes a part of their regular self-care routine and want to work on new goals once the wedding is over. Others feel content to wrap up at the conclusion of the wedding."
