To the ladies who are left wondering, “When will it be my turn?”, here’s advice to help you through this should-be a happy time.

1. Don’t fall into the comparison trap. The relationship you have with your partner (or potential partner) is in no way related to that of your friends’. 2. Know where you, and your man, stand. Before you put unrealistic expectations on your relationship because of pressure you may feel from attending a wedding, explore what YOU want.

3. Turn envy into inspiration. Jealousy gets the best of us sometimes, but when has jealousy helped anyone? Change envy into inspiration. Be inspired by love, but don’t be upset over not being there yet. It will happen when it’s meant to happen. Understand that someday, you will be the bride.
