Am I the only one with wedding burnout?

I'm burnt out, thankfully I have only 11 days to go. Hang in there, two more months to go and it will all be over. I want to tell you that you will be more excited the closer it gets, but I'm not feeling it. I honestly can't wait for this wedding to be over so I can resume normal life. I am too tired of babysitting my FMIL, she's just not with it because of all of the meds that she is taking. You are almost there, and thankfully two months fly by quick.

I don't know if I'm burnt out, but I'm in more of an I don't care mode right now. Most things are done, and the few things that are left I've been pretty nonchalant about. My excitement is still there, but no more OCD about the little details.

Oh wow, things sound rough with your in-laws.

I have definitely felt burnout in the past few months, but I took a weekend off to spend with friends and feel a bit better about planning the rest of the wedding. The other thing that I've decided to adopt to reduce stress is the IDGAF club's mentality. Seriously, just say "I don't care" about the little problems or details and you'll feel better.

I don't know that I would call it burn out as much as stress. Things were going great until a few weeks ago. I discovered we are over budget (our fault), which made me realize I could have sent several less STDs and been fine. I couldn't care less if some of these people show up and it would save us money, but I was so excited about the wedding at the time. There is so much family drama on both sides, and FH 's parents don't want to burden him w it so they keep dumping it on me. His dad is pitching a fit about wearing the same suit as everyone else... Not bc he doesn't like it but just bc he doesn't want to be told what to do. Seriously?!?!? Grow up. My dad keeps thinking the wedding is on Saturday but it's on Sunday and he has to fly down to attend. His wife won't make hotel reservations yet bc she may be able to save $5 if she wants. Honestly. I told FH last night he and I should just elope.

I'm sorry that you're going through all of that .. You're not alone in being burnt out though. My hiatus from this site was due to burn out. My FH has stepped up so much though since I told her how over it I was a few weeks ago. He's gotten a lot done since then and I'm actually starting to get excited again.

18 days left here and I was burned out about a month ago as well. Im ready for it to be over . my fiances family as well as myfathers family has made my wedding planning experience miserable and stressful many times in the past year

Thanks guys - it's good to know I'm not alone and that it's okay to feel this way. I feel terrible feeling so IDGAF, when my mother and father (and me and FH) have poured so much time and money into the thing. And now it's like I just don't care! Hopefully once all this calms down with the in laws, I'll get my excitement back. Right now I'm just feeling worn down. It's not even like I'm stressed about any of it, I just legitimately don't care. FMIL wants to wear an inappropriately fancy gown with a train, while my mom (who has paid for 85% of the wedding) is wearing a $100 dress from a department store to save money? IDGAF. Cousins we broke the no kids rule (meaning we had to invite ALL kids, not just theirs), are now not even coming to the wedding? IDGAF. Best man being a complete and utter jackass? IDGAF.

Seriously, it's not even like I'm talking myself into not caring. I just don't.

I'm not there yet but I can feel it coming the closer I get.

Mine waned too. It's definitely back now. You will feel excited again, don't worry. I would take some time for yourself, and just zone out from what his family is doing.

You will care again soon. You're just being bogged down with other crap at the moment. Everything will turn out just fine

I wouldn't say that I'm burnt out, exactly, but I'm feeling really calm about it all. People ask me about the wedding and expect me to gush, and when I don't, they think that I'm not that into it.

I'm right there with you date twin! I'm trying to keep going on my various projects for the wedding but am definitely feeling like "can't we just get on with it now". There are so many things we keep saying "after the wedding" to, plus money is just ridiculous at the moment as FH had to buy new glasses and prescription sunglasses last week (as his prescription has changed and he was getting headaches from using the ones that weren't right), and the car died yesterday so we've had to pay £480 to get it back on the road for long enough to use it to look at replacements ('cos buying a new car right now is just what we want to do when we have two weeks to pay for the wedding!!).

I just want to get everything over and done with and focus on getting the debts paid so that we can go back to normal.

Jemma, why do you only have two weeks? Your wedding date says you still have over eight weeks left.

Yep, just ready for it to get here already

I agree with the others on here, it's not really burn out as it is the stress of taking care of everyone else. You sound like a very good responsible person and i would just let the "babysitting" for someone else. That may be hard for you because you seem to be so caring, but it really isn't your responsibility to take care of drunks. Chin up and focus on that honeymoon with you and your fh it will be great.

@JulyBride, I'm assuming Jemma has final balances due in 2 weeks? Depending on her vendors, that's a pretty normal possibility. That'd be about a month before her wedding.

I know how you feel, except mine is more disappointment than burn out. Because of issues with venues/vendors and all around budget, this isn't at all what I wanted. Had I known before how this was going to go I would've just got married at the courthouse on the original date I wanted and had a small dinner party afterwards.

I am burnt out as well. And I have a lot left to do these last 12 days... urgh.

I'm a little burnt out, but I'm sure that's just because we're at a lull. We took care of SO MUCH so early in order to relax later on. Now I still have a year to do any DIY stuff, which I'm not leaving much to DIY.

I got burnt out multiple times, then I would get excited over something new for a little while and then burn out again. The last 3 weeks I stop caring at all. I just wanted to be married.

I was burnt out early on - which is bad, but the whole situation was a mess. We didn't know what we were doing.

We were going to have a wedding this year, it wasn't going to work. So we have it next year, everyone complained. We do not want to leave out the grandma's, so we have two weddings. Everyone thinks having two weddings is stupid, this upsets FH BIG TIME and causes a fight.

For 6 months it was one thing after another. I think we finally figured out what we were doing regarding this weekend - this is the first time I feel like I can relax.
