Weddings are stressful. Even when meticulously planned and fully paid for, the day of the wedding can be really intense for everyone involved — but especially for the bride. That's because, chances are, they've spent a lot of time and energy on making the day perfect, and they know that all eyes will be on them. Stress is understandable, and honestly, so normal! But if someone falls into the category of zodiac signs most likely to be stressed-out brides, well, then you can bet they're really going to need the support of their friends and loved ones on the big day.
The reason these signs tend to feel the heat so intensely comes from the fact that occasions like this mean a lot to them, so they just want to everything to go as planned and create beautiful memories for themselves and the people they're sharing this special moment with. Sometimes, that need for perfection can result in fiery tempers (ahem, Aries) or some serious micromanaging of the wedding party (Virgo, yes, I'm talking to you). Just try to remember, if you're a member of their wedding party, to be understanding. Or if you're the bride, give yourself a break, because if you happen to be one of the following signs, some of this stress was written in the stars.
ARIES (MARCH 21 TO APRIL 19)
While Aries is always up for a challenge, the stress of their wedding day can really bring out the fiery side in this Mars-ruled sign. Typically, easy-going Aries is also known to have a temper, and can be a bit, ahem, impatient with others. So, if you happen to be in the bridal party, there's a chance you may get the brunt of an Aries bride's emotions. But hang in there, because once the big ceremony is over, Aries will be back to their usually charismatic and fun selves at the reception.
LEO (JULY 23 TO AUG. 22)
Leo is ruled by the Sun, the heavenly body associated with reason — but also the one the rest of the solar system revolves around. Can you guess which personality side is going to come out on Leo’s wedding day? Yep, this normally warm-hearted and generous sign has a tendency to let their diva flag fly high when the event is all about them. But here's the thing: It's not really about their ego, although it might feel like it, but rather, just Leo feeling the pressure to be “on” and please everyone around them. Be gentle and understanding, and before you know it, Leo will be back to their kind and loving self again.
VIRGO (AUG. 23 TO SEPT. 22)
Let's be honest, we all knew Virgo would be on this list because stressed is kind of their usual state of being, so of course, their wedding day is going to cause them to take it to the next level. That's because this perfectionist sign needs every little detail of the wedding to go perfectly, and, if it doesn't, they blame themselves. They also have the discerning and critical eye to know if anything goes astray — and they can be really harsh when doling out constructive criticism. But hang in there, Virgo, and just remember that you put in the work to make the big day come off without a hitch. Trust the process and just be in the moment.
Whether you're one of these signs are not, the big day can feel like a ton of pressure. But it's also an incredible moment between you and people you love — one in particular. So, just take a moment to calm your nerves and say “I do” to a couple of deep breaths. You got this.
