My Wedding is a disaster Before It Even Started 😭

Maria, on September 29, 2023 at 4:49 PM Posted in Planning 0 8

Our wedding is TOMORROW and everything feels like it's falling apart.

1. I woke up with pink eye and the makeup artist canceled when I told her. I loved our trial but now I have to do everything myself which is extremely stressful on top of everything else + my eyes look like crap.

2. I found out our church doesn't allow ANY music on its property. No live instruments or recorded music. We hired an amazing Greek singer to perform traditional songs and more contemporary dance/disco tracks so now we have to either cancel last minute or have her sing without music the whole time. That alone ruins so much of what we planned.

3. The stress is killing me and I can't even feel excited about this anymore. I'll admit I can be a total control freak at times. I want to feel happy about seeing everyone and having "our big day" but it ended up feeling a huge project with so many moving parts. I'm overwhelmed and exhausted. How do I make this work?!?

    I’m a perfectionist and understand stressing out about getting it all right. But stop and breathe. The most important part about your wedding isn’t your makeup or the music or all the other details. It’s getting married to the one you love. If you accomplish that, it’s a hugely successful wedding. Try to keep that as your focus and roll with the punches! ❤️

    Thank you. I'm trying to be positive but ugh! So much going on. I feel like we need to rethink everything at the last minute and it's so stressful.

    Sorry to hear honey, I can be a bit of a control freak myself so, I get it. Andera is right however, the most important part of that day is becoming one with your love. Now I have heard this already many times, I know that but if i was in your situation, I would be feeling the same and would want to cancel.

    A-capella is becoming very popular so that might be a blessing in the dark. As for the pink eye you might want to try some natural remedies and you might want to look at some eye protect for the make-up.

    I hope everything turns out enjoyable and congratulations.

    Thank you! I'm trying to think positive but it can be hard lol. The singer has a strong and amazing voice but I'm a bit worried she might not feel as great about singing without accompaniment. Instrumentation is a big part of Greek music you know?

    I am not to familiar with Greek music but I’ll take your word for it. Would using the church’s musicians or w.e work? Just a thought.

    Our church doesn't use instruments. Everything is in acapella.

    I would be most worried about the pink eye as it's highly contagious. Exposing guests to pink eye probably isn't the best idea. But since your wedding is tomorrow I would limit contact with guests as much as possible. I wouldn't be hungry or shaking hands with people. I would also limit what things you are touching.


    I guess I'm confused how you just learned the rule about music especially you said that the church normally doesn't include music.

    I assumed the no music rule was just for church services
