Thank goodness. I didn't want to sound ungrateful and I love my FH but I hate the expectations put on us by others and trying to make sure everybody is happy.

October 13th will be here before you know it!! Congrats!!

YES! Date twins and I am SO over it. I have gone out of my way to accommodate everyone and both of our families with everything they want. I've been second guessing every decision I've made and literally just want to cry or scream or stress eat or something. My dress also is too big now and is being taken in again and the woman literally told me to start eating, except I am eating so that was frustrating too. I wish all the time that we had just gone to the courthouse and I just want the day to be here already...and it feels like these last few days are just dragging. Thankfully we're almost there and it will be a beautiful day...we just have to get to the finish line!

Girl we all have those feelings. I just got engaged, will be planning for the next two years, and I'm overwhelmed and want to elope 😂 I have the luxury of time and being able to step back of course but the point is it gets very frustrating at every turn. I think when all is said and done, it will be worth it. Or at least that's what I tell myself haha. Eat some fries and take a bubble bath; relax.

Hi DATE TWIN!!!! We are almost there!!! I tried on all my dresses on Saturday and just could not believe that they were all to big!! My MIL told me that I need and like you I've been eating! I eat all of the time!!! Hopefully once the day comes I will completely forgot about the pain of planning and just enjoy the day.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one!! Thanks for the support!

LOL!!! I've asked my FH a hundred times can we just cancel, chop the money up as a loss and go to the courthouse. We've been to Vegas 3 times since we've gotten engaged and each time I ask if we can just go to the Drive Through Wedding Chapel.

You're right it will all be worth it in the end. At least that's what his family keeps telling meXD

Yes we have all felt that way.

Hey!!! I’m stating to feel the same way. My wedding is 8/30/18 and I’m so over it. I’m tired of having to deal with everything. I’m not stressing myself if the small things anymore. I can’t wait 15 days left. It’s definitely not just you!!

For sure. We are getting married 9/23 and I looked at FH last night and said “why didn’t we just elope?” And I wasn’t kidding. Ugh. So over it!

Hi date twin!! Yes super over it. I cannot wait to be married already and jet off on our honeymoon! I think the tipping point for me today was my final floral consultation.... price magically went up $800 from my original $2100 quote ... and I literally only added one wrist corsage for a step grandmother and some loose greens for the escort card and gift tables. I had a feeling she low balled the price at the initial consultation for all I wanted, and that was really confirmed today 😑

I got married at the end of May and I still occasionally write to people on these message boards because of all the help I got when I was planning my wedding. Let me tell you, I was pretty darn stressed leading up to our wedding and had a bit of a meltdown, but now I honestly feel like it was all worth it. Everything didn’t go perfectly at our wedding but it didn’t even matter. There was just so much love and happiness from all the people who care about us, and I got to marry the love of my life! All the little things don’t matter, the feelings are what matters. The people who love you will support and the people who won’t, don’t really matter! Forget about them. Your FH must love you a lot, that’s why he is marrying you. That is what really matters. I’m sure some of your family and family are loving and supportive, try to focus on them and ignore the haters. Even though there was some weird drama and nonsense it didn’t even matter...for me my wedding really still was just such a beautiful and wonderful day that I will look back on fondly for the rest of my life and I think it will be the same for you!

Planning can be so stressful. Even though I’ve been pretty chill about the process, I’ve had my share of breakdowns. It will work out ok. Try to take care of yourself and relax. Find what you can enjoy from the process.

I am still in the in the 300's but I can only imagine the stress you ladies are dealing with. At this point you can not stress the little details and become sick. You are the second bride who stated that a vendor increased a price just before the wedding. Is this a thing? It our responsible as the brides and grooms to make sure we host our guest properly. Which is the goal for most of us however some guest family/friends are just self centered and thank everything should be revolved around them. When your pre wedding days become hard and you be discouraged and frustrated. Remeber what lead to your pre wedding chaos you feel in love. And after you guys say your I do's when all the money grabbing vendors, self center guest /family are long gone. You guys will be sharing a unconditional love that makes it all worth it. Wishing you all a wonderful wedding day 💖

Girl. Eat some fries with no regrets. The stress will eat you up. And you should eat it. At least for today. The finish line is near!!!

Our wedding is September 15th and thought today .. no wonder people elopt, lol. WE can only do the best we can and NO guests will know if our plans are perfect. Do the best you can do!

You are doing great!! We are 66 days out, 10/20, and I have so much to do, but it's getting done. Our reward will be seeing all the smiling faces at our wedding and having great pics to help remember. Congratulations!!!

View Quoted Comment This was refreshing to read and a lovely reminder! On top of FH’s mother throwing a fit over not being able to have 13 people at her table, I then found out that my older brother and his two kids can no longer attend and they were our ring bearers! Had to fix some seating charts, can’t fix the programs but oh well! It’ll all work out in the end!

I'm getting married 8 /31 /2018 as well. I understand. There has been a few times I have felt like that but just take a deep breath. It's going to be okay.
