Not the first wedding for either of us so we are going to Vegas. I invited close friends and family. No one that will be there is a friend of mine (The people coming are close friends of my FH and are now my friends too) or family.

Not the first wedding for either of us so we are going to Vegas. I invited close friends and family. No one that will be there is a friend of mine (The people coming are close friends of my FH and are now my friends too) or family. I am trying to stay away from being depressed about it but I feel Iike I'm going to have a heart attack from the anxiety. I have been stressing to make it special and I'm getting to the point that the anxiety is just getting to be too much. My FH offered to change things and I just can't handle the idea that I have no one there, what it says about me and my family/friends, and that it makes me feel like I don't deserve this amazing man who I get to marry. So anxious and depressed. I've looked for articles to help me deal with these feelings and nothing really seems to make me feel less anxious.

    I live in Chicago and having my wedding in Vegas. My FH family lives in Vegas so it was easier for his family to attend. None of my family is going including my mother. Ive given everyone atleast a years notice yet they wont entertain the idea of going. Mind you my mom went on vacation to vegas many times i was growing up never took us on a family vacation and my brothers planing his 5th time going to Florida instead of attending my wedding. They blame me going to far but yet my FH family all live out in vegas so its not for selfish reasons that we decided to have it there. I feel resentment towards my family now and now i definitely wont change it for them. They're loss i guess cause Itll be a blast without them. I dont want anyone to go who will just complain about everything anyway

    I'm late to this thread. Has your day passed? If so, how did it go?

    I'm having a really low turnout for my DW. I was ok with it before (I guess trying to convince myself that the location and date was perfect, and it didn't matter that some people may not be able to attend for financial reasons), but now that it's only a few weeks away my anxiety is out of control and it's all I can think about.
