Just Said Yes August 2020

How do i get excited again?

Samantha, on May 25, 2020 at 9:48 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 7
Before Corona hit, we had pretty much the whole wedding planned. Our wedding was for July 11th. We were waiting to push it until mid May/ early June. Our venue is a museum so it's not even open. My fiance and I just graduated college. We planned on getting jobs and then a place together. For religious reasons we want to wait until we are married to move in together. My fiance's parents freaked out the first week after graduating that he didn't have a job yet and had a talk with him about there concern with him not being ready to move out (which wouldn't happen for another 7 or so weeks). In the process of this conversation there was a lot of hurt feelings and my mom now thinks his parents are trying to prevent us from getting married. So now we kind of decided to have a small postponed wedding in August and the original plan of the wedding next year when Corona has hopefully passed. The main issue now is that no one is excited. I don't feel like planning a wedding anymore. My fiance and I just want it to be over.

    I know it’s hard right now. You guys are young, but it’s so important to let your voice be heard.


    I took a month off after we decided to postpone from any wedding planning or scrolling online. Eventually I started looking at different details again.
    Maybe find something un wedding related, and let the inspiration come to you naturally.

    I'm not sure how you get excited again but I recommend just focusing on you and your future husband and doing what is best for you. You are young and have the world ahead of you. I'm sorry people aren't excited anymore, but I think this happens with weddings. I had to cancel my July wedding to next year so while everyone was initially supportive, any energy and excitement had now been turned to other things for people. I know they will get excited for me again next year.

    It's very hard. You're allowed to be sad and upset - this is a loss for you. Grieving isn't just for death, it's for loss in general. Don't rush it and don't ignore it, just try your best as a previous poster said to not obsess. This is a hard time for many people - so cut yourself some slack, and hopefully in future you'll feel excited again.

    You need to just put all of that out of your head. I went through a similar issue when I had to make the hard decision of uninviting my mother and her husband. You are going to be upset for probably another full week and then that feeling will subside. Trust me. It’s OK to dwell on these situations for a little bit. Sometimes you just really need to sulk and dwell on an issue and once you do that you’ll become desensitized to it. So be upset over it all you want but only for the next week. After that pick yourself up again and start looking at wedding stuff. Have you already picked out your favors yet? Focus on the fine details of your wedding and imagine what your day is going to be like. Play the song you will dance to with your fiancé and image the day and the excitement! There will always be an opposing opinion! Yes even with parents. This is something you’re going to have to deal with and at the end of the day just accept it and understand that nothing will stop you and your fiancé from spending the rest of your lives together! There may seem like there’s tension now but once everyone is together on your wedding day you will have so much fun and all of these little issues that people have will go right out the window. You are a giant boulder and nothing will knock you over! You are focused and ready! Just keep that in mind and congratulations! You’re getting married!!!!!!!

    I lost my joy for a bit. It has started to come back now that my date has passed. We had sent invites out, had rsvps etc. Yes some of it becomes tedious. But seeing your dress again, planning little details, etc brings the joy back.

    I understand totally but You two deserve to celebrate your Love!

    Why let hurt feelings and misspoke words change the fact that you are madly in love with each other and you deserve your special day!


    I wish you two the Best life is short and Life is hard. If he stands by you and support each other why live with regrets or let others interfere Celebrate Life! Celebrate Graduating (Congrats!You both rock) Celebrate Love! (there are millions of people still searching for what we have)
