Am I the only one struggling with decisions?

Jaemi C. fka Jaemi S. :-), on April 27, 2010 at 4:08 PM Posted in Planning 0 24

During this whole wedding process I can think of two decisions that I did not agonize over; one, saying yes when FH asked to marry him (duh that was simple) and two where to get married, I saw it on line and once I saw it in person…I just knew. Other than those two things I feel like I have been Future Mrs. Wishy Washy and that is so not me. I am usually Queen of Decision Making. I tend to quickly weigh my options, look at the bottom line and boom decision. When it comes to clothes, colors or anything like that I either like it or I don’t. I have no idea what the heck is wrong with me…honestly I have spent like almost three months deciding on a BM dress, favors, invites…food…do I want this do I want that?? UGH! Anyone else or am I alone on indecision island?

    Usually I kind of take a little longer making up my mind but for some reason this time around (I guess because there are so many decisions to make and I'm not that patient) I just want to say yes to everything so that I can say I don't have to deal with that anymore, it's off the list. So in that respect, I am different with the wedding.

    I'm right there with you. I think they need to start serving cocktails on this island. Then maybe we can get somewhere! haha. Hang in there. I'm just starting to see mine come together little bit by little bit, but yeah, it has been a rough process for me. I havent been 100% with anything but wanting to married my FH too. Smiley laugh

    I think the hardest decisions we had to make was deciding on approximately how many people to invite and then choosing the wedding colors. Outside of that, I mean you weigh the options and toss ideas around but it's really not been that bad.

    I completely understand... sometimes I am completely efficient in my decisions, but others I DRAGGGGG on. After looking at a few venues online, I toured mine first and booked it. But, after looking for months at a DJ I actually had to give it a rest for awhile because I was starting to hate wedding planning. It was so frustrating! Then, when I went back, I found one in a week. Now, as you can see from recent posts, I have gone back to the "why is this one decision so hard" thinking. Like, I've been looking at candles for hours... and it's like my brain isn't all the way there.

    LadyLee I will say guest list was painful. I wanted smaller 100ish and FH wanted like 300 hopefull we won't get more than 150.

    @NBA don't worry just think in a few short weeks it will all be behind you and you and FH can just sit back and relax.

    I think some of it comes from wanting to throw the ultimate but beautiful party within a budget and not letting people down...the outside stress. PS What does a girl have to do around here to get five stars.

    I can NEVER make decisions... i am horrible in the fact that i have to get a concensus before i make my mind up. my FH even hand me the menue to a restaraunt b4 we are even seated because i am that bad with food too!i tend to shut downif i have to make too many decisions... i am "trying" to be better with the wedding or else i know i will be planning for ever. i have been really lucky where ihave not had to interview many vendors or anything like that. my sites prefered vendors worked perfectly for me so that was a godsend.

    i wish you luck with your decision making... and i hope for the best for mine too ;o)

    I too am in the same boat. I am usually the "go to" person for my friends and family. But for some reason with my own wedding I can't make a decision to save my soul. Before reading this I thought I was crazy....now I know I'm not aloneSmiley winking....it makes me feel much better!

    @jaemi-I told my FMIL this past weekend that if there is going to be an stress during this whole period it will be because of FH, he soooo drags his feet on everything and I can't control him and make him do things at my pace so it's very frustrating. Everything I think is important (like the wedding basically) is not important to him (timewise)!!!!

    My sisters have threatened to hang me if I change my mind one more time. I haven't ordered my cake yet, haven't ordered my invitations yet, all because I can't decide what I want!!!! So not me!!

    I usuallly have no trouble making decisions, but this whole wedding business has me wishy washy too. I think I just want everything to be perfect and my vision of perfect keeps changing.

    I can't decide on colors or flowers. What I think makes the indecision on colors worse is I already bought my invitations. oops! :-/

    Oh, I absolutely know how you feel!! I went to Hobby Lobby today to buy some things that were on sale. I spent more time taking pictures with my cell phone (for FH to approve) than deciding on anything! I did but a cake set (I don't honestly care about having a fancy cake set, so I bought the cheapest one they had) but I was going to pick out some ribbon to decorate it with. Nope, couldn't decide which ribbon to get: grosgrain or satin, chocolate or ivory, pattern or no pattern. It's so pathetic. I've already bought ostrich feathers for the guest book pen, but while I was in the store I worried that the ones I already had were too yellow so I bought a more ivory colored one. Ridiculous. I did buy some wooden letters to use as a cake topper, but I couldn't decide which I liked best so I bought one of each. Good thing they're cheap!

    I know how you feel. Right at the beginning of planning I had the hardest time. It has gotten a bit easier for me now that things are so close. I have all of the big stuff done just the little stuff left.

    Whew...@camlynn2. I am glad to hear I am not alone! I think some of it just might be the perfection pressure.

    I've changed my colors, date, location just more than I've dyed my hair (and that's a lot).

    I think...hope...that once I get the big stuff nailed down some of the little stuff will be easier. I need to stop second guessing myself, pull up the big girl panties, and just make a darn decision.

    .....i think i just gave myself a pep talk......Smiley smile
