25 days out and just don’t care? Anyone else hit a rut so close??

Tiffany, on May 27, 2019 at 11:30 AM Posted in Planning 0 3
We have an extremely demanding life with kids, 4 jobs between the two of us, etc. Wedding has been such an extra weight. We hired a wedding planner/doc to help with all the stuff we didn’t have time to do and set up/break down and coordinate day of.
well our coordinator backed out due to family reasons and here I am holding the bag with only 25 days left.
Need to assemble favors, practice wedding makeup, make signage, inventory and organize all wedding decor, make timelines, order the rest of the things we need after inventory, write vows and ceremony, and a bunch of other little details.
i just don’t care anymore. Fh is working the most hours with two jobs (paying wedding and debt), I have the kids, my full time demanding job and our side businesses. The kids father has pretty much disappeared recently so I don’t get a reprieve there either, and am dealing with hurt and needy children.
Wedding party not local to help or too busy, no family. How can I get out of this funk? Has anyone else hit a rut so close? Can’t get excited as I’m just too stressed and exhausted.
Cant wait to marry my best friend and have this madness over!

    Hey Tiffany!

    I'm so sorry that you are going through all of this. It's tough trying to work and raise your family, but planning a wedding on top of that really is an incredible achievement! Did your DOC recommend the services of another DOC that you could work with for your wedding? I know you may be feeling a little overwhelmed but is it an option to try and find another DOC to work with and alleviate some of your time? Presumably, you were refunded by your original DOC who backed out?

    You should take some time to list exactly when else needs to be done and organize it into what needs to be done on a certain day. I know it seems like a lot when you list everything out but it may seem more manageable when it is listed as 2/3 tasks per day.

    I wish you luck as you count down the days to your wedding day!

    I went into that rut about 6 months out. Now we are nearing 3 months out and I am back on the wagon again. Breath in and breath out. Know this is going to be one of the best days of yalls lives... Sounds like you have a veryyyyyy busy life...

    Just take one step at a time.
