i totally get it now

We've been engaged since the end of last March, and last summer my MIL basically offered to send us off somewhere if we eloped. Having a reception was really important to my FH, so we chose to just have a wedding so we could celebrate with family and friends.

Guys. I get it. I totally get now why people elope. I get why people say they wish they had. I wish we'd taken her up on her offer.

I'm sure when the day comes I'll be glad we made the decision that we did, but between the expense and my anxiety and now that I'm hearing from my MIL that my bridesmaids (three of whom are my FH's sisters) are frustrated with plans for the shower/bachelorette (that I have zip to do with as my MOH asked my opinion and I told her I trust her)... I just want to be done. I just want it to be October so I can marry the love of my life and move on.

I was on the phone with my MIL today when she was asking about the hall for the shower and these other plans and I told her I had no idea what she was talking about and she told me to forget the entire conversation because she thought I knew about it.

Just shoot me. Let it be October.

I'm so sorry this is happening, but I am totally with you. My parents eloped and I never understood why, but now I totally get it. It feels like as soon as one problem is solved there is another one. Hopefully, nothing else happens to either of us.

I spent the entire month leading up to my wedding day moaning and whining about how we should have gone to the courthouse. This is too much. I am stressing out. The week of I cried almost everyday half from stress, half from excitement and overwhelmed emotions.

I also cried before my bridal shower because I was overwhelmed with the idea of being the center of attention. I had a blast that day though!

My wedding day was really the best day of my life. I am so glad I stuck it out and threw the best party ever. Having all our friends and family there made our wedding day even more amazing and meaningful. I think you won’t regret it if you push through with your plans for a wedding!

Hi Kiley! I’m so sorry that you are feeling like this!
It seems like your FMIL is very supportive and hands-on. Are you finding your BM’s helpful with your planning? There is nothing wrong with asking for help with different tasks if you are feeling stressed about everything going on.
The light at the end of the tunnel is a beautiful wedding surrounded by your family and friends so it will be worth it!
