Anyone else wish they just eloped?

I have said this many times. I wish we had just eloped. But I know that at the end of the wedding day I'm going to be so glad we didn't.

@tealwedding. That's what I keep trying to focus on. Having all those great memories to look back on. It's just I never imagined it could be this stressful!

We've put money down on a few things, but yes I wish we did just elope! I'm not sure if I'm just going through something, but I just haven't been interested in planning lately. I just want to be married.

I hear this all the time. I do these all the time.

I think that sometimes excitement and shock take over and people start planning giant parties with big guest lists and they get sucked up into the vortex faster than they can think about what all that entails.

it's never too late to switch gears if you TRULY want to do that.

Yes! I totally feel that way sometimes. We've actually talked about it too. But now we put money down so there's no backing out lol. I'm sorry that your wedding party is so meh. I'm new to the community but a lot of people have written about how stressed or overwhelmed they felt beforehand but it all worked out in the end. Have faith! Maybe as the day gets closer, everyone will get more excited. But don't forget this is a celebration of YOUR love and YOUR relationship. At the end of the day, it's about you!

I just got the bill for my catering. I am really wishing we just eloped. Im now about 10k over my original budget. Yay huge families.

I definitely have been feeling this way lately! I totally get it! I just have to tell myself to breath, and that it will be worth it in the end! The bartenders won't get back to me on the amount of alcohol we need still, I had to tell a bridesmaid she couldn't be in the wedding because she still hasn't ordered her dress, and so much more lol. I'm going insane. Our wedding is 10/6 and I don't know how much more I can take.

Yes but I know in my heart that I wanted the wedding that we're paying for because we considered eloping for quite a while. That said I'm sick of all the planning, I just want to do it already!!

I have those days, but just focus on you and your FH and how special the day will be for the two of you, don't worry about the bridal party. But also, if you really want to it's not too late to elope!!

I'm starting to feel that way now. I wish I could just get the money I paid so far back. I've become very emotional at 1st I was happy. Then sad where I want to cry. And angry because no one want to answer my text when I ask question.

YES!!! If I knew planning a wedding would be such a pain in the ass, I would've stuck with plan A of going to Vegas.

Yup. The end.

Gurl yes.

But for real, date twin, just remember that it will all be worth it in the end.

I think I've meantioned eloping every month within the last year. He wanted the local wedding so we went with it. I could care less about this huge event. All I care about is maintaining a healthy relationship with my Fh and child and continuing the peaceful atmosphere within our home.

I keep saying this to myself. Everything would be so much easier that way!

Everyday! I haven't even sent out invites yet and if one more person asks me to bring a plus one for a random friend I may flip out.

We are eloping! It's both of our 2nd marriage and we are doing what's best for us and will make us both happy, while maintaining our sanity. We're keeping our photographer and having a beautiful civil ceremony.

You're almost there! It'll all be worth it in the end.

Every day. Boy do I wish we would have eloped. But here we are, 37 days out.

YES

I asked and asked my FH if we could elope or just go to the local court house. He really wants the party (and it's an expensive one) and to celebrate with friends and family. While I understand this, it would have been SO much cheaper to just do something just the two of us. I don't regret planning the wedding and I know I'll love the ceremony and reception. It's just really hard for me to feel "okay" with blowing over $23,000 on a day...a few hours to be exact.
