Overwhelmed

I’m so ready to just get this over with.. nothing is going right. I’m just ready to cry. It has nothing to do with my FH, we’ve been together almost 20 years, but if I had known it would be this emotional for me, I would’ve done the courthouse, and my parents would’ve killed me.
The venue had a change in management, so who I’ve talked to before is gone, now I can’t get the food I wanted. I was going to add a prime rib carving station, that was an additional $15 per person and $200 for the carvers, it was over $1000 to have prime rib.
Now my maid of honor doesn’t know if she’ll be able to come, completely not her fault, her father is sick, waiting game for that...which I completely understand, but without her I don’t even want to do it😢, I picked a song for the wedding party to walk down to and it was all for her, I was so excited when I picked it just to see her face, now I might not get that. I’m just super bummed about the way things are going.

I'm so sorry things aren't going well in your planning! Sadly, stuff happens. But don't let life overcome you. Instead, overcome whatever life throws at you

Take a few deep breaths. It's my opinion that the venue should try to work with you since you booked it before new management took over. Even if things don't turn out exactly the way you wanted, just remember, you'll still be marrying someone you clearly love and celebrating a true milestone.

Remember: This is for me and my Person... repeat as needed. Deep breaths in between...

With that said, I am sooo sorry that this is going on.
I feel ya! I am the SOLE planner of my wedding. And I can’t even pin him down to get the damn guest list! He simply flippantly says “It’s 15mo away- we have time!” NO WE DO NOT- it is a destination wedding, September 19, 2020, therefore StD’s Need to go out NOW. Website needs to go up. And all the things need to be booked. We have a venue- ceremony, reception & rehearsal.
And then there is a whole host of other issues and problems. Plus life itself: my health, behind in school, family drama/health...

We all get super stressed and sad at times. It is normal. Know we all are with you and support you. And you Will get thru this & your wedding will be perfect- you’ve waited 20yrs to marry your love, how could it be anything but perfect at the end?

Sending you a big big hug.
Have you met with the new venue manager and gotten them to explain to you why you can't have your carving station? I'm sure your menu will still be great without it but if you'd already arranged it it's really a shame they can't come through. I feel your pain, my venue manager and head of catering changed SO many times between when I booked the venue and my wedding, I actually didn't meet the final head of catering until my reception! It's stressful, but I put my trust in them and everything turned out fine.
I'm sorry to hear about your MOH's father. Even if she can't attend, that song you chose will still be a special moment in your ceremony and I'm sure she'll be touched to hear you chose something so special for her.

I can still have the carving station, it is just sooo overpriced I decided not to, it’s over $1000 just to add it. I don’t want to start acting like a bridezilla, I’m worried they’ll make other changes or deliberately ruin the day. I’m just ready for it to be over. I joke around with friends and say the next wedding I have will be better, lol, FH didn’t think that was funny.
