i hope I'm not alone in this

I HATE wedding planning. I can't wait to be married and I know when the day comes it will be wonderful and beautiful but I literally hate everything about wedding planning. It has not been fun for me and I have never cried as much as I have while I've been planning this thing. Please tell me I am not the only bride who feel this way.

    Same here. There have been a few high moments but overall I just can’t wait for the party to happen and the marriage to start. I’m not even worried about anything going wrong, it’ll be fine and I won’t have to deal with it anymore 🤣 no more questions, money spent or frustrations with people (at least regarding the wedding)

    You and I are in the same boat. I've said that so many times. You are not alone.

    Girl I’ve cried over napkins. This wedding is making me literally go crazy. I hate wedding planning with a passion. It was fun months ago when I was just pinning pinterest inspirations and looking at my “maybe someday” dress. Now it’s contracts and money, time frames and lots of suck. Wedding planning is only fun when you don’t have to do anything yet.

    This!!!!

    I'm so sick of dealing with people. If you knew you didn't want to pay for your stuff, then why did you accept and not take any of the chances I gave to drop out? This wedding is really showing me who to rock with after all this is over

    Whomp whomp - sorry you're feeling that way. But think on the bright side - there appear to be a lot of ladies who get so obsessed with the wedding crap that once it's done it's like there's a vacuum in their life and they get all bummed out. Hopefully being so non-thrilled with the process will give you a post-wedding silver lining vs. post-partum wedding syndrome. Smiley tongue

    I go back and forth between mildly enjoying it and hating it immensely. I really don't like how much it has consumed my life and time in general. My MOH is more excited than me. She sends me ideas everyday and I just want a break from wedding planning. Especially since we're getting married next October and we've done most of the important stuff. I work full time and just started school back up so this is not my entire life. I almost broke down in Michael's when choosing my flowers because I have a mild form of color blindness and I couldn't see all of the colors at once. My MOH just kept shoving flowers in my face and not giving a moment to process them. I understand that she's excited and wants to help but it's a lot. Point is you're not the only one that hates this lol.

    Bridgette, I also decided to go back to school this year. I work 10 hour days, go to school and I'm planning this wedding. I'm just burnt out. Plus there is so much family drama.

    Exactly my MOH I thought was one of my closest friends and she’s been such a flake for no good reasons either, my other friend and bridesmaid has pulled through in ways that just make me go wow when I thought that it’d be the other way around!!

    Thank you everyone. My schedule is insane and all the family drama is making it hard for me. My dad passed almost 2 years ago which is an added sadness on top of wedding planning. I'm just totally burnt out with wedding planning. I work 10 hours, go to school and am trying to plan this wedding. I know it'll be worth it in the end but I have not enjoyed the planning process.

    We're in the same boat! I work 12 hour shifts and I decided to go to school for cyber security (I have no prior experience in the field either 🤦🏼‍♀️). I haven't hit the family drama yet but it's coming. I can feel it lol. My fiancé have wedding free days and that helps alleviate some stress. Good luck with everything!

    Yes girl you are not alone! As much as people tells me all the time to enjoy the WHOLE process all the time it’s hard.. because it can’t get stressful and overwhelming. I’m trying to stay positive and organized as much as I can and not allowed anyone’s opinion or comments get to me! I can’t wait to get married already that’s my motivation 😁💕💍

    I FEEL YOU.

    I was enjoying it until my FMIL started having so many opinions and then told people in her family were invited when they weren't, AND told all 20 of the high-school age cousins they get a plus one.

    Yay wedding planning....

    You are not alone. In April/May I had a full on breakdown & was seriously crying every weekend. I just kept saying that we should have eloped. Over the last few mos. I started enjoying wedding planning a bit more. I’m still nervous at times, but most of the time I’m pretty excited, and I’m glad that we didn’t elope - I’m excited to share the day w/ us & our guests.

    There were times I didn't enjoy it. I always thought i would and for the most part it was pretty ok and some parts were fun but it definitely is not enjoyable for all

    I wanted to elope but due to FH family being huge, it wasn't an option. I have siblings but no other family so i Didn't care to have a big thing but caved due to his family.Im great at planning things, so i feel like this inevitably fell into my lap due to that but it feels like I'm planning something i didn't want and it makes it more a job than anything else. I try to get him involved In making appointments and things but it never gets done unless i do it. It sucks. Mt situation is probably different from yours but i get the hate of planning. I just wanted to marry my person.... not plan a party for everyone else but here i am. Everyone asks “are you excited for your wedding?” And i just say, i am very excited to marry my best friend. Everything else is just SO MUCH STRESS.

    You and I are in the same boat. The stress of planning gives me horrible anxiety and it's wearing me out. I almost backed out..,twice lol

    I’ve cried over some of the dumbest things planning this wedding. Trust me you’re not the only one! The first month of planning was fun because there was no stress but everything after that just felt like way too much for me. Definitely looking forward to the honeymoon and relaxing in our new apartment after everything is said and done.
