Anyone else feeling alone in this process?

I moved to a new city 6 hours away from my friends about a year ago. I've made friends since but none close enough for wedding planning. I do what I can over the phone and facebook and friends here.

Why do you need people other than your FS to make decisions about your decor and invites to be happy?

I have done all the planning alone with FH's input. I still feel like planning is a happy time

My fs isn't into planning at all. He's basically given me all control and yes girl, I feel the loneliness you speak of... My best friend lives an hour away with a crazy work schedule and two newly adoptive kids. I do what I can with my mother and sister... It's not fun tho.

You can post your options and ideas on here! It's not the same as a bff, but most people are kind and helpful : )

Let Pinterest become your new best friend!

Yep. My FH is ridiculous he thinks tiered/dry weddings (amongst other things) are ok. I can't handle the trash-baggery sometimes lol So yeah it's all on me .

I'm not alone because I have my FH. I haven't asked anyone else. It's our wedding and our decision. I don't see why you need help picking out centerpieces. Go with what you guys like.

Yes, I do feel alone in this. Since we're only inviting a few people I really have no outlet besides WW and FH to talk about planning. Since I don't want to burn FH out, here I am. ^_^

Totally get it. My friends and family are to consumed with other things. You can do this! In the end, you not alone you have your fiancee beside you. The whole point is that you are marrying them. But yes, the process kind of sucks.

I hear ya!! Two years ago, I moved 3,000 miles away from my family, friends, and only life I knew for 25 years, to go live on the west coast with my FH and start a life together after dating long-distance. Basically I'm the only one planning the wedding, with some help from my family back home where the wedding will be. But all my friends and besties what I always thought I would share the wedding planning fun with, are all far away too. My FH helps where he can. But it gets to me sometimes too and I get sad. I went dress shopping by myself and that really hurt. Not even having just my mom there to help was sad. The good side!!!?? We as a couple, and make descions together and I have more control over what we want and can make desicions without hundreds of opinions from my friends wanting to give their input. The wedding will be more of a surprise for everyone!

I went dress shopping by myself and did not know that that was a lonely feeling until literally everyone that found out about it later made a huge bfd about it. Made me feel crappy afterwards

I chat plenty with my mom which is a nice outlet. But my closest friends live far away. I get jealous when I see acquaintances on social media that have a solid girl group they hang out with all the time. Oh well. WW FTW!

@Joselyn and Victoria, y'all are date twins, both new-ish to WW, and both feel lonely about the wedding planning. Maybe become wedding pen pals or social media buddies?

Yeah my FH is the same until the other day when i showed him dome centerpieces an he actually said he liked them...i was excited. ...o ther than that hed like its your day pick whatever and let me know how much i need to pay...smh

I feel alone too. My FH is really supportive but he doesn't really have any prefences for anything in the wedding and isn't as excited to talk about the details like I am. Most of my friends have moved or had kids and we don't talk anymore. I have no one to talk to about wedding planning except my FH.

I have my mom, but yea my fiancé doesn't help much with planning. He wouldn't know a rose from a lily lol. Decor, colors, etc just weren't his thing. He helped pick music & menu. But I luckily have my mom for most of it. Just try to breathe and know whatever you pick will be great. Also, make a decision and just move on from it. Obsessing after it's been made just adds unnecessary stress. Good luck !

Thanks everyone! I'd be happy to become social media friends with anyone who's in the same boat if you feel that will help. Updated finished my save the dates and I'm sending them out. People will always have opinions. Oh well

You are not alone! FH lost his mom to ALS when he was a boy and most of my family live thousands of miles away. Seems like whenever I bring up planning the subject gets changed. It can be very disheartening..

@melanieb I'm so sorry. I have found this app to be very helpful. I hope it can help relieve some of the stress for you as well

Yep.. pretty alone too. It seems like the folks with too many people giving opinions are equally upset. It is hard to please everyone. So maybe look at it like you are surprising everyone with your creative genius.
