i hope I'm not alone in this

You sound like my fiancé i find it fun and stress free but I’ve also been engaged for 25 months before my wedding so I had plenty of time to plan

You're definitely not alone. August 17th is not coming fast enough. I'm tired of being stressed, spending money, people dropping out the wedding, feeling frustrated, etc. It was wonderful at first until things started to get real. I get so emotional over everything now. I'm excited but ready to get it over so I can have my life back. For the past 18 months it's been nothing but wedding everything.

While I don't cry much about planning it has caused more fights than one between FH & I. He doesn't want to participate in the planning and the stuff I really need to get out of him I feel like he's just gonna have an attitude and another fight occurs. We argue about the honeymoon. He won't decide and says let's go somewhere close I said no. A honeymoon is a once in the lifetime trip we aren't going somewhere in the US. He just doesn't get it and doesn't appreciate everything I've done to make this day happen. I will be glad when it's over.

I AM WITH YOU I DID CRY AND FELT LIKE THROWING UP! I end up getting a lot of help from my Mom and support!!! My Grandma gave me some money towards it but my Fiance has been helping me out so much and calming me down it paid at least 92% of the wedding and I feel so bad. When you least expect it, it will come.

We are almost done and we are over 70 days out. I just updated my To-Do List this morning which is a BIG help to cross things off and have progress. Please breathe and take your time and it will all come together. I have been truly blessed and luckily I was in 2 other weddings so it kind of help me know the Do's and Dont's.

YOU ALWAYS FIND OUT THE TRUTH ABOUT THINGS WHEN THERE IS A DEATH, WEDDING OR HOSPITAL STAY!!!!!!!! It is so sad how people are and how things work.

The planning process is stressful but it's all worth it in the end.

I completely understand how you feel. My wedding is Friday and I can’t wait to be finally done. This has been so stressful and full of tears! My anxiety got so bad I had to go back on medication. I’m ready to marry the love of my life and Relax too

I have cried a lot and had many fights with my FH about the wedding. He wants to know everything going on, but when I tell him things he has an argument with me about how I'm doing it wrong and I should do it his way.

We had a big fight over having 60 kids at the wedding and when to receive RSVPs (because he wants a b-list). Finally I got him to agree to NO kids and inviting all of the people that he wanted on the b-list. He still wants to receive RSVPs back early from some people, but that's an argument for later.

We also argued about the honeymoon. He wanted to go to Florida (Hawaii was too expensive), but a lot of his family lives in Florida. I don't want to spend our honeymoon with his family. We finally decided on Jamaica, but he hasn't gotten his passport yet and doesn't seem to have any intention of getting it soon. Either he will be paying hundreds of dollars to get it expedited or I will be going on our honeymoon alone. He gets mad at me whenever I ask him to do something, so I won't bother asking him anymore!

Seems like it goes either way - you love it or you hate it. I'm sorry to hear that you're not enjoying the process. Is there anyone you can rely on to ease the frustrations for you? Maybe if someone could give you a hand, you'd be able to have more fun with it. I know how overwhelming it can be - I'm in AK, FH is in NY and our wedding is in the VI. So yes, it can and is a lot to deal with, especially if you don't have any help. Ask around; there may be someone you know who would be happy to assist you.

View Quoted Comment I’m sorry to hear about your dad.
I saw one bride begin walking down the aisle carrying a single red rose and then gather roses from special family members as she walked down the aisle. The pastor said the red rose resembled the father she had lost and those extra special to her gave her the flowers to complete her bouquet.
Maybe take a break for the contract planning and focus on sweet ideas like that that can warm your heart and make you smile and cry a bit

I've loved it for the most part but since I have hit the 30 day mark i am so done! Tired of reaching out to people to make sure they've gotten things done or paid for. Wedding party and guests! Whether it be RSVP or booking rooms, etc. I'm tired of babysitting! Can't wait for wedding day to be here and on to the next phase in our lives!

Yes. me. my mom and i fought every time we talked and i was in tears almost every day, so we pulled everything and are having a micro-wedding instead. i didn't send out invites, just told the people invited, we don't even know what time or what we're going to eat. I'm 59 days from the date, and maybe that's why no one has bought their plane tickets yet, but this is happening whether people come or not. We're just going up to the mountains by our house whenever everyone is awake, having a quick ceremony (my bff's husband is officiating), then a cookout in our backyard with lots of yummy food. The food is going to depend on what they have at the grocery store and Costco that day. This is the easiest and least stressful way I could find to do this. i'm not even decorating.

I'm seriously with you! I feel so guilty because my FH's parents are paying for the wedding so I am trying to be as cheap as possible and pay for as much as I can without telling my fiance because he gets mad if I don't split the cost with him. We're also planning from Montana and getting married in Oregon and it just stresses me out so much! When are you getting married?

Me as well, but mainly because I’m broke.

Absolute same. I’m so stressed and can’t wait to not have this on my shoulders anymore.

I'm on and off with it. You are definitely not alone. I think a large part of it for me is that I was expecting to not have to worry about the money aspect of it, and instead, it's been nothing BUT worrying about the budget. I expected to have a larger budget, plus a MUCH larger "incidental allowance" from my own earnings..... instead, the budget is smaller and my incidentals suddenly became pretty much zero AFTER we committed to our wedding venues and vision. Go figure.

If money weren't an issue, I'd be enjoying it more.
