The big day brings big stress
Anyone who has ever been involved in a wedding knows it is not an easy task, especially for the bride.

Last summer, Erin Crum, of Washington D.C., accepted her fiance's proposal on Sugar Loaf Mountain, one of their favorite places to go.

"In the beginning, I really wasn't stressed at all, and I found a great dress pretty quickly," said Crum 32.

The couple decided on a date relatively quickly and found a location for the reception. They chose a location in Delaware near Dewey Beach. The ceremony itself will take place on the beach right near the water.

Now that the wedding is just about three months away, the bride to be is starting to feel the pressure.
"I'm slowly realizing how much I have left to do." Crum said. "I also just found out that I might be loosing my job."

With the added stress she has been trying to take her days one at a time.

She has been trying to get in touch with her bridesmaids, making sure they are getting fitted and ordering their dresses. She has given her fiance the task of talking to the groomsmen and deciding on a wardrobe, which she will approve of course.

"I'm still incredibly excited, I just need to take a step back and not get overwhelmed," she said.

Lets hope for good weather on the big day.
