Exhausted and Emotional Bride

Mine is in 4 days. And I got a call from one of my grandmothers saying that if I don’t find a place for my brother to stay Friday night he won’t be at the rehearsal. He’s part of the wedding, so now on top of my FH emergency dentist appointment tomorrow to get a tooth pulled, which guests coming in starting tomorrow I now have to figure out how I can get my brother at the rehearsal. Hopefully you can figure out your dresses. And keep in mind that once the day is done and you look back you’ll be thankful you incorporated his family traditions! It will be beautiful!! Just a few more weeks!!!

Haha, uhh, I totally relate to this and my wedding is more than 9 months away 😂 I had all but a meltdown this past week about how I felt like the wedding wasn’t even for us anymore.

The thing is, no matter what you do it isn’t going to be perfect. I’m trying to remind myself that at least we’ll be making our friends and family happy to, and trying to just make the best of the day. I think losing the expectation that it’s supposed to be the best day of my life has really brought me back to sanity lol. It’s just one day of a very long life together! Ditch the expectations, enjoy the day for what it is, spend time with family and friends, bask in your new husband’s company, etc. Your marriage will be full of days that are much more wonderful than your wedding day, I guarantee that!

Last week I couldn't even think wedding. It is a celebration of you two. Try to brainstorm ways you can make it feel that way

Hang in there, couples! The last 30 days I was soooo over it. Then the week before we had family stay with us, hubby got sick & we had a major spat. (Our stress was so bad our sweet girl kitty got TWO bladder infections that month. After $1K in tests, it was stress). After we packed up 4 SUVs with DIY decor and headed out for our DW...we relaxed. Went into bliss mode. Everything was amazing. Hang in there...it’s so worth it!

Yes girl! I feel your pain! I’m having a November wedding and I’m already stressed because things are adding up really quickly! I’m also stressing of getting into my dress and dieting. It all just takes a toll but it helps to breathe, relax, and remind yourself why you’re doing this to begin with. You’re not marrying your FH family or yours, you picked him! So I’m the end when you wonder if your guests are talking bad about how the cake tastes in the end his happiness is most important

I hope it made things less stressful!

My husband is Indian too We had our traditional Indian wedding back in his hometown on 7/5/2018.

It was a three day event, and that was already a consolidated one... I did feel exhausted and annoyed. I even got angry the last night of the wedding when it finished at 4am!!

But it was lots of fun when I look back

OMG Thank you all so much for the support and laughter!! This thread made me feel 100 times better and yes I did eat some french fries and my FH took me to a movie and we ordered lots of snacks.

I am 15 days away and I'm ready for the process to be over but I know when that day comes I will only care about the memories that I will make with my family and friends.

I WILL NOT SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!!!

OMG!!! The whole 3 days is a lot for me but he and his parents assured me that it's going to be lot of fun. Now that I've calmed down I'm excited about the whole thing.
