4 days to go & I'm so moody!!

Charis, on June 6, 2018 at 12:42 AM Posted in Planning 0 15

Honestly, I'm posting this because I feel totally alone & like this should be the happiest week of my life.

The wedding is on Saturday. We don't have a planner so I'm doing most things myself except for what my FH can help with on his days off. I keep finding that I'm super snappy (or witchy...), especially to him! I'm really trying not to be but it's like everything he does is wrong and annoys me. I DO NOT want to be that kind of wife so I apologize like 10 times a day.

Don't get me wrong, I love him so much and can't wait to marry him. I'm just hoping that the excitement will kick in soon. Especially as my to-do list goes down.

    I was doing the same and I had to step back and say this isn't worth it! All that matters is marrying the love of my life. I let all the other stuff go, meaning if it goes ok great, if not I'm married to my best friend. I'm still not as excited as I thought I would be. But I'm happy! Here's to saturday!!

    I think every bride to be is like this. Earlier this evening my FH was trying to have fun with me while I was tidying up the budget for the wedding in 24 days and I yelled at him! 😞
    His response was perfect though! “If we can’t relax and have fun sometimes then what is the point?”
    I think you should just take a step back and remember why you’re going through all of the stress. It’s to start off the marriage with a beautiful wedding and marrying the person you love and want to spend the rest of your life with. And just remember that every bride has a little bridezilla inside of her. Just take deep breaths or go for a quick job or walk and listen to your favorite music for a little bit. Or a nice relaxing bubble bath works wonders also!

    Lol. Totally normal! I’m laughing with you, not at you. Last 30 days the details annoyed me. DH & I were tense and a few spats gave our poor kitty two bladder infections ($1K later in tests, no reasons so vet said stress). Major blow-out a few days before. Once we hit the road (for DW) we were anxious but relaxed to be on our way.

    Hang in there. Try to take a walk together or any chance you can book a couples’ massage? Forget the extra cost, your health is worth it. If you really need to, take an extra unpaid day off work. They’ll live. This is biggest time in your life. Breathe...

    Everything will come together & you’ll have an amazing day in love & fun.

    Tbh, I burst into tears at my decor planning meeting today (not my proudest moment). It’s all so much and overwhelming. I have 65 days to finish planning a wedding, find a job three hours away (to where FH and I are moving), find us an apartment, furnish said apartment, etc. So I totally understand.

    I should be giddy non-stop. I’m marrying the man of my dreams. And instead I’m anxious which makes me a grump. Luckily my FH is insanely patient and knows how to jokingly snap me out of my stress and forgives me when I go all ‘Zilla on him. Hang in there!! In 4 days you will be standing face to face with your NEW HUSBAND 😍😍😍. I’m confident that in that moment your stress will melt away and it will all have been worth it.

    P.S. More than a year later, we still relive our wedding. And we’re more in love & better friends than the day we married. Yay!

    Don’t be so hard on yourself. Wedding planning is NOT 24/7 giddiness. I cried several times (mostly over budget which we kept exceeding). I was mostly composed with vendors but FREAKED out when the venue explained to me how dinner would be served different than what I thought (finally realized I needed to let it go cuz not important detail). I swear we brides look as good as we do on “game day!”

    Don’t worry about furnishing new place. You’ll live. Take care of yourself more right now. Hang in there! You got this.

    I feel like this will be my furture. Unfortunately with 10 days left we do not have another day off together until the wedding. we are getting married and my fiancé is working till 5pm next Saturday. I work overnights. I work up until next tueday morning in which I am going to have to be preparing the last minute wedding things, dropping off things to the vendor, getting my dress, preparing the rehearsal dinner, getting ready for day of, day before and vendor thank you and tips. I already feel the stress. Luckily I got the time off four days before, because working overnights I wouldn't have been able to

    Getting married on Saturday as well and I am right there with ya girl! FH is on his week of nights right now, so I've been scrambling like a mad woman trying to get everything done. I've snapped at him a couple times, mainly when he calls/texts me to take care of other last minute things or wants me to change something last minute. It's hard, and if you need to vent, vent! On top of the stress, I'm 14 weeks pregnant today and hormones have been running wild the past 2 weeks. It's so hard to not be moody, but keep your eye on the prize and remember that none of this little stuff, or even the days leading to the wedding, are going to matter. Good luck and congrats! 💜

    I am also getting married Saturday and it’s also been a hard week too. There is a huge “to do” list. Take it one thing at a time. Maybe get some friends to help you or family when they start coming in. You’ve got this!

    congratulations!

    I was the exact same way! Lack of sleep was a factor for me too. Just hang in there. Our day went super smoothly and after sleeping for 12 hours the next night after it, I feel totally back to normal. He’s not on my nerves in the least bit anymore, whereas the week before the wedding every thing he did annoyed me, LOL.

    Same thing as well and we have 18 days. I was stressing and getting snippy with FH. We are going away this weekend coming up so hope this helps me relax. You will be fine and remember to look at the big picture.

    I think it's normal. I was like this the week before my wedding. I was suppose to have the W-Thu-Fri off but only got Friday off so I was in a panic because I thought I could do X,Y,Z and I had to cram it all in after work. Even Friday I was working from home while trying to get everything inventoried and loaded up (which I forgot things because of this, oh well). BUT Thursday evening I remember being so annoyed at everything (including H) I just took a shower and I had an epiphany, like..literally "F*** it" whatever happens or doesn't happen at this point it is what it is.

    It is completely normal. Some people get moody, some emotional... I held myself together as much as I could but I know people were stepping on eggshells around me. Try to remember that you will be married in a few days and that is the most important. Id the details are not coming together as you want, take a deep breath and do what you can. Sometimes we have to compromise and let things go so we don't turn the whole things about a wedding more than about a marriage. I know: it is frustrating. Remember that no one knows what you have planned entirely, so to your guests, whatever they see on that day is what counts - take this from someone who had a lot of hiccups from a caterer on her wedding day and no guest knew or noticed exactly what was going on.

    Try to be on the moment, try to realize that these are final days before you start a whole new journey that will be beautiful! Have fun with it, try to see the humor on things more than the stress.

    I keep telling the brides that think they have too much time to plan that this (what you are living now) is most likely to happen so having everything in place early is not that bad!

    I wish you the best final days, and that the excitement kicks in soon! I miss those thrills and my wedding day so much! Make it count as good memories, I promise the effort will be worth it! Smiley heart

    I am so glad to be reading this. We will be getting married Friday and everyone who asks if I am excited my only response is no I am stressed. Problem is, I don't know why everything is lined up and at this point out of my control. I feel like and am told I should be excited and that just makes me more stressed. I know (or at least hope) once I get through my last day at work today.

    I am excited to be getting married to my FH!!Smiley heart

    Happy Wedding Week!

    Same here.. wedding is 10 days out. I have been in a funk. I woke up this morning and decided this was not the person I wanted to be before getting married. Total mindset. Having a great day today.
