3 days and i am stressed

We made a conscious decision to not focus on wedding planning yesterday. We got our mani-pedis, picked up our son from the airport, had dinner, and just ran basic errands. It was so relaxing and the reset we needed. I too have been second guessing EVERYTHING but it's all coming together and I can't help but believe our day will be perfect even if it isn't exactly as I envisioned. If you can, just take a couple of hours without any wedding talk and do something you enjoy. We're almost there!!!

View Quoted Comment That’s a good idea! Tomorrow and Saturday we’ll be in NY and have some downtime before the wedding on Sunday and I’m thinking of planning pedicures and/or a hike so help us relax a bit.

You are not alone. I was a big ball of stress before the wedding, but I made a list of things I needed to get done, did them. Then relaxed, took a bubble bath, got my mani-pedi.

Trust me, the day will be here in no time, and once you see your FH at the altar, everything will melt away and it'll be magic.

I haven't gotten married yet, but I'd like to say comparing your wedding to others is so exhausting! Each wedding is beautiful and unique in its own way

View Quoted Comment I agree. I don’t compare my wedding to others. I meant looking at our wedding stuff and second guessing if I like it as much as I thought.

Honestly, I couldn't tell you any of the little details or decor from our wedding. I remember H crying while I walked down the aisle, being so thrilled to say my vows and hear his, practically skipping back up the aisle. I remember fun with our family and friends. I remember wishing my dad could have been there to walk me down the aisle and to dance with me. If it weren't for pictures, I wouldn't remember what anything really looked like - it's very much an emotional blur. You have spent 18 months picking the things that you like, and you've made the right decisions. Take some time away, as PPs have said, get your nails done, get a massage, go to dinner with FH (or anything really, just be together), and try to stop thinking about the details - everything will be beautiful.

I have second guessed EVERYTHING since day one. My dress, the colors, the theme, my hair, the flowers, the date, the location, my bridesmaid choices, everything. After agonizing for months, I finally just made a promise to myself that once a decision was made I would stick to it, no matter what. And I haven't had any regrets since. I see something I'd like at the reception and then I say, "Nope. I already have X amount of decorations and this isn't in the budget." And that's that. It made things so much easier. Now if only I could commit myself to that same willpower when it comes to my diet... 🤔😂

View Quoted Comment Love this. Thank you

View Quoted Comment I need that will power with everything 😂

I completely understand what you mean because that was me a few months back stressing over everything actually. Just remember the details wont matter that much when u are at your wedding. Besides people dont pay much attention to the details. I went to a wedding last weekend & the only thing I can remember is how bad the DJ was lol. I saw the favors but didnt grab any & there was a lot left over

All the hard work is over. Now just try to enjoy it! Good luck!

The little details brides stress over is because that's what we envision and think as a good host would be nice to have but in reality people won't notice it as much as we think or at all. So now I tell friends to keep it simple

Most things will fall right in place without you worrying. Don't change anything. A while ago when you were less of a nervous wreck, you made great plans. Trust yourself!
