Water
Water is the element of flow. When people use the cliché, “go with the flow” they are, in essence, talking about the element of water. At many points in your wedding planning and during your wedding, you will need to invoke the water element. Yes, what I am saying is that you will need to learn to just go with the flow. There will be unexpected and sometimes unwanted happenings even with the best laid plans. When things happen that are out of your control, remember to be like the element of water and find your way gracefully and smoothly over any metaphoric rocks that you may find in your path. Water is often used to depict tranquility and calm. Try to create a peaceful place inside of you (perhaps by reciting an affirmation or a mini-prayer or a biblical verse). Then when challenges do arise, you can go to this place of peace.
