Hello! I am in school and getting married less than a month after this semester ends (1 more final!) It's been a priority for me to do well, and I have consistently wanted my wedding to be pretty simple to save myself from getting too stressed and fatigued. I'm okay with that! But it seems I can't avoid the "every detail must be EXACTLY what the bride wants" mindset from those helping me out.
The thought is sweet, giving me control of such a wonderful event in my life. But I've been insisted that I put a lot of thought into everything. More than I feel necessary. Recently, I mentioned we needed to buy cups for the beer keg and wine. This turned into a 15 minute event of being shown all these different cups for sale online even after begging to just have clear cups and to just move on 😭🤣
It's not so much being angry at the helping family members, more of "I need to kindly let them know I prefer simple because thinking too much about these unimportant details is giving me gnarly decision fatigue just in time for my final exam"
I know, be open with them. I will. I love them and appreciate their help very much. Kinda just wanted to vent. Destress. Even simplified, wedding planning was a ton more responsibility than I expected and I wasn't the best person for the job. But it's coming along. Fake it til I made it? Lol
I hope everyone else is having a good time planning. I'll eventually pick myself up after this exam and enjoy the last month 💕
