Here Comes the Bride: Healthy and Safe
As you plan your wedding day and new life together, don't forget to add health and safety to your “to do” list.



As you plan your wedding, make sure you make decisions that support your mental and physical health. Add to your “to do” list things to keep you safe and
healthy before and after the wedding. Learn tips to help you be a safe and healthy bride.

Promoting a Healthy Mind and Body

Make healthy choices to help you look and feel good, not only for your wedding, but also for a lifetime. Having a healthy body includes eating right,
getting at least 2½ hours of physical activity a week, and not smoking. Are you concerned about your weight? Achieve and maintain a healthy weight by
eating healthy, being active, and balancing the number of calories you consume with the number of calories your body uses. Avoid crash diets.

Planning a wedding and getting married can be stressful. Everyone has stress, but when stress makes us more likely to get sick, we need to pay attention.
Learn easy ways to manage stress, including getting enough sleep, setting limits, and relaxing.

Planning the Wedding and Other Events

There are many ways to make health a priority in planning the wedding and related events. Prepare or provide healthy meals, appetizers, snacks, drinks, and
desserts. Choose smoke-free venues. Reduce the likelihood of injury by choosing and placing decorations in such a way that they do not increase the risk
for falls, burns, or other types of injuries.

Preparing for Your Honeymoon

Whether it's by car, plane, train, ship or foot, take steps to stay safe and healthy during your honeymoon. Plan ahead. To lower your risk for illness and
injury, check health scores for cruise ships; learn about common diseases for the area if traveling abroad; get vaccinations; and pack and use sunscreen,
insect repellent, and appropriate safety gear for activities (such as helmets, life jackets, and knee pads).

Being True to Yourself

Ask yourself a few questions. Is there any abuse or violence in your relationship? Is anything interfering with your ability to be safe and healthy or
increasing your risk for disease or injury? Are you depressed or feeling anxious? See your health provider, a counselor, or others for help.

Safe and Healthy Bride



Say, "I do" to your health! Follow these tips to help you be a safe and healthy bride.
Eat healthy.

Make smart choices to help you look and feel good for your wedding, showers, parties, and new life together. Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables every
day.

Limit foods and drinks high in calories, sugar, salt, fat, and alcohol. Choose healthy snacks.

If you want to lose weight, eat smaller food portions, lower the amount of fat in your diet, and be active. Avoid crash dieting. Meet with your doctor or
nurse to talk about your best approach, especially if you have any health problems.

Include healthy meals and snacks for your guests. Add seasonal fruit or vegetables, low-fat snacks, and low-calorie drinks or desserts.

Healthy Weight

Nutrition for Everyone

Rethink Your Drink
Be active.

Be active for at least 2½ hours a week. Include activities that raise your breathing and heart rates and that strengthen your muscles. You don’t have to do
it all at once. Spread your activity out during the week, and break it into smaller chunks of time during the day.

How Much Physical Activity do Adults Need?
Be smoke-free.

Choose smoke-free venues for the wedding reception and other activities. Breathing in other people's smoke (secondhand smoke) causes health problems
similar to those of smokers.

Prepare for your new life together by quitting smoking. Quitting smoking has immediate and long-term benefits. Within 20 minutes after smoking that last cigarette, your body begins a series of positive changes that continue for years. Know that secondhand smoke causes health problems similar to those of smokers. Keep your home smoke-free.

Quit Smoking

Manage stress.

Trying to juggle wedding planning, work, school, and the other activities can be stressful. Early warning signs of stress include headache, sleep problems,
difficulty concentrating, short temper, upset stomach, job dissatisfaction, and low morale. Take steps to recognize and manage stress. Talk to your doctor
or nurse if you feel stressed or if you think you are losing control.

Stress at Work

Stress and Your Health: Frequently Asked Questions (HHS)

Style your hair with care.

If you’re changing hairstyles or hair color on your own, follow all directions, cautions, and warnings on hair products. Dyes and relaxers can hurt skin, hair, and eyes. Do a patch test before using dye on your hair. If a rash develops, don’t use the dye. Never dye eyebrows or eyelashes, as it might cause blindness. If in doubt, let the professionals do your hair.

Hair Dye and Hair Relaxers (FDA)

Test cosmetics and skin-care products before use.

Trying something new for your wedding? Test any new cosmetics or skin care products way before the wedding. For some people, using cosmetics like make-up
or deodorant may cause itching, redness, rash, sneezing, or wheezing. Allergies may happen the first time a product is used or after multiple uses. Always
test a product in a small area first. Follow all directions, cautions, and warnings on the label. Stop using the product if problems develop. Remove it
before bedtime to prevent skin and eye irritation.

Cosmetics (FDA)

Use Eye Cosmetics Safely

Prevent injury.


Wear comfortable shoes that won’t affect how you walk, stand, or dance. High heels may be in style, but they may also increase your chances of falling if
they’re too high, uncomfortable, or not something you usually wear.

Long dresses or trains should be comfortable to wear and not be a trip or fall hazard. Be aware of these issues when getting your dress fitted.

If you’re using candles at your wedding, ensure that they are placed properly so as not to burn anyone or set anything on fire. Place other decorations in
such a way so as not to increase the risk of injury.

If alcohol will be served at the wedding or other activities, be aware of how much you and others are drinking. Do not drink and drive. Encourage others to designate a sober driver before the event.

Injury Prevention and Control

Get a check-up.

Check with your doctor or nurse to see what tests and exams you need based on your age, sex, and health history. Regular health exams and tests can help
find problems before they start. They also can help find problems early, when your chances for treatment and cure are better. By getting the right health
services, screenings, and treatments, you are taking steps that help your chances for living a healthier life.

Talk to your doctor or nurse about preconception care and your and your partner’s family histories. Are there any issues that are of concern that both of
you need to discuss with your health care provider? Are there any issues that can potentially cause health problems if you decide to have children?

If you have a health problem, make sure you are taking steps to manage it. Don’t neglect your health while planning your wedding. Continue treatment plans
unless your doctor or nurse instructs you to do otherwise. Be sure to get any refills on prescription medications. Be realistic about what you can do.
Talk to your doctor or nurse if you have any questions.

Preconception Care

Regular Checkups are Important
Get enough sleep.

Get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. How you feel and perform during the day is related to how much sleep you get the night before. If sleepiness interferes
with your daily activities, more sleep each night will improve the quality of your waking hours.

Sleep and Sleep Disorders: A Public Health Challenge
Be true to yourself.

Being a bride and having a great wedding are two things some women dream about. There is sometimes a mix of reality and fantasy in thinking about being a
bride and wife. After the honeymoon, life and marriage may not live up to the expectations.

Determine if you have realistic expectations of what marriage will be like and what your and your partner’s roles are. Do you or your partner behave in
ways that may not demonstrate a healthy relationship? Have you or your partner verbally, emotionally, or physically abused the other? Are there things
about your partner or relationship that make you uncomfortable? Several factors can increase the risk that someone will hurt his or her partner. Talk to
your doctor, nurse, counselor, or someone else you trust if you need help.

If you are a victim of intimate partner violence, contact your local battered women's shelter.


Intimate Partner Violence

Sexually Transmitted Diseases
Travel safely.

If you’re taking a cruise, know your ship’s recent inspection scores. If you're traveling internationally, make sure you have all the vaccinations
required for that area. Always wear your seatbelt while riding in a motor vehicle. Protect yourself from sunburn, mosquitoes, and ticks.

Fight the Bite: West Nile Virus

Protect Yourself from the Sun

Stop Ticks

Travelers’ Health

Go green.

Recycle all the magazines you read while preparing for the wedding. Consider using favors, utensils, decorations, and accessories that can be easily
recycled or reused.

Nearly 400 years after Galileo first observed the heavens through a telescope, we continue to seek answers to age-old questions about the universe. And while the technology has evolved over the centuries, the inquiry remains essentially the same: What's out there, where did it come from, and what does it mean?

At the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), we're working hard to study and explain the once-unimaginable celestial phenomena now made visible using Hubble's cutting-edge technology. In the course of this exploration we will continue to share with you the grace and beauty of the universe, because the discoveries belong to all of us.

Probe deeper! Explore the following links to learn more about who we are and what we do.

If you are visiting the Baltimore/Washington area, make it a point to come to our monthly Hubble Public Talks and learn about Hubble's latest discoveries first-hand.

HubbleSite is produced by the Space Telescope Science Institute's Office of Public Outreach.
