Why do we need the Wedding Doulas?

It seems like such an easy thing. You fall in love. You want to spend the rest of your life with this amazing person. Happily, you set about organizing your wedding. Then, unexpected issues pop up.

Wedding planning can bring surprises. Your mother may want you to wear an heirloom dress she has been saving for the occasion. Uncle Frank wants to actually officiate - and he has no clue that is illegal.

Your friends are pushing for a certain reception hall, but you want a smaller setting. Your bestie confesses she's never actually liked your partner and feels you may be making a mistake. Your grandmother wants a church wedding and you have already booked a hall.

Other challenges you might be experiencing include:

* issues around different faiths or cultural traditions
* blending families
* step-parenting issues
* big wedding vs small wedding
* pressure from parents (who may be footing the bill)

Loved ones' well-meaning suggestions can leave you spinning. It can even cause disharmony between the two of you as you try to please everyone. Little by little, the wedding of your dreams becomes a wedding by committee.

While you love your family and friends, you want what YOU want. How do you tell them? How can you move forward in a way that is comfortable for you?

That's when you call The Wedding Doulas!

A "doula" is someone who assists in the milestones of life. Birth doulas provide ongoing emotional and practical assistance as couples prepare for a new baby to come into the world. Death doulas work with those preparing for their journey into the next adventure, providing support, guidance, and assistance to the person and their family.
