Hi all! Thank you in advanced.
My FW and I are planning a wedding that is taking place on a family property. It is a beautiful setting, and upon getting engaged, I stressed how special it would be for us to get married there. She had no complaints, but concerns. After discussions, etc. she was on board. Over time, she became very excited to the idea.
We are 6 months out from our wedding day. We have the caterers for all food and cake, DJ, tent and other rentals, rehersal venue is booked, bar tenders, lux toilet, flowers... it is completely covered from top to bottom (in my opinion). We got a month of coordinator. My father and I are landscaping in anticipation and are ahead of schedule. Because it was my family property, I did most of the phone calling, schedules, meetings, etc. It has been a TON of work, but I am over the moon about how amazing the day will be.
That said, most mornings while having coffee, my FW is incredibly stressed out. Oftentimes, It is about a small detail (where will the empty boxes go? What if someone doesn't like chicken?). I try so hard to be patient, and then to reassure. However, no matter how reassuring I try to be, something will come up in the morning, or over dinner. I do get frustrated, but moreso because I feel like the answer is simple, or we aren't trying to solve the problem.
I asked her to keep a journal where she can write down her anxieties so we don't have to address them right away (during dinner, coffee, tv time, walks).
Do any H or W have skills that have helped in the past? Do I just let her vent to blow off anxiety? Thank you!
