Pre wedding fights

JoAnna, on February 7, 2012 at 3:28 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 15

Two of my closest friends just got married and they BOTH told me how they fought with their FHs. I know I still have a little ways to go yet but is anyone experiencing this? I told both of my friends it wouldnt happen to me lol!

    You mean about the wedding? I'd say it would be pretty unnatural to have at least one fight about the wedding! It's something that you're likely hypersensitive about since you've dreamed about it forever and getting everyone to agree on everything is impossible. So yes, I'd definitely expect a wedding-related fight or two Smiley smile

    The months, weeks and days leading up to the wedding are stressful. But you have to remember to take a time out and try not to let things get to you and cause arguements. Everyone has them though, no one is immune to them. The key is how you handle them and work them out. DH and I didn't fight before we got married and we don't now. Every once in a blue moon we don't see eye to eye but we talk things out. You have to keep the lines of communication open. Another peice of advice is have a date night each week or every other and don't talk about the wedding! Just enjoy each others company.

    I have argued with FH about wedding planning but not anymore. We take it one day at a time. I have been told that once you're married the same arguments you had before it doesn't change. It stays the same. I just hope the arguments are low keys not the same as it was. Since we have had a rough patch in the coming years but things are working fine now.

    Totally normal, at least for us. Our engagement has been the most stressful time of our 4 years together. I don't think it's just the wedding, there is a lot of pressure to make our families happy and proud, we each have very different ideas about things that we have to agree on, plus we're working out how to merge our households and finances at the same time we're reviewing vendor contracts and compromising on the menu. It's a lot to handle all at once.

    We go on dates where there is no wedding talk allowed at least once a week. Even if the "date" is watching a movie together on the couch. It helps. Smiley smile

    We didn't have fights or blowups, but there was definetly an edge to the both of us near the big day. For us, it was just frustration about people! Our families/bridal party gave us a lot of trouble at the end about a month before, so we were stressed and venting to one another about it all. Thats one thing I recommend to all "brides to be" is to try really hard to be happy and enjoy the last moments, as it goes by so very very fast!

    We're three months out still but so far haven't gotten into any fights about the wedding, my FH is very supportive and knows how important the details are to me and lets me take the ropes, I still ask his opinion because it is important for me to make sure he is happy on our day as well. I am hoping we continue this nice flow but who knows it could happen, I think as long as both of you talk to each other and both of you see where each other is coming from things should be fine Smiley laugh (I am NOT saying if you do fight your FH isnt supportive, so please don't take it that way, this is just how our relationship is)

    We've had little ones, but they were more like me freaking out because he will be gone for so long soon and there's literally less than 1 month for us to get everything done. And we have a few extra things military related to get filed before he deploys.

    My friend told me that the week before the wedding all her and her husband did was fight, after it was all said and done he told her he was sorry for acting the way he did he was just really nervous about the ceremony!

    The biggest argument we ever had was the night before the wedding. I just chalked it up to him being nervous. He wanted me to tell the DJ something AGAIN and I wouldn't.

    Yep we had one. It was about something stupid but it happens. One of his friends gave him the best advise. He told him to stop and think before he says anything. Its the day the girls have been dreaming about for years and they want everything to be perfect. It maybe something stupid that they're stressing over but its important. Just support her and listen. We have some great friends.

    We've been planning for over a year now and we haven't fought about the wedding at all.. Maybe that will change as the wedding gets near, I could totally see a fight about finances there are a lot of things we want to do with the money, it gets hard saving all of that money and not being able to use it for other things that, although we could use aren't so important that it can wait until after the wedding..

    We have argued a little about him taking forever to get his friends addresses. He didnt get all of the ones that he wants to send out but I have already mailed the STD's. In his mind it's not an invitation so he still has time. I have decided not to ask anymore. It's obviously not that important to him if he cant find the time. I have to admit though he puts things off all the time, it's just his way.

    Ugh, Josie, my FH did the exact same thing. I get he works a lot, but seriously? It takes two seconds to email or text your friend and ask for their mailing address.

    Thank god we did STDs. Otherwise, we would have been scrambling to get addresses in time for the invitations and it would have been a total disaster. There are still 3 people on his guestlist that I have no last name or partner/spouse name for. &@$%.

    We keep fighting about honeymoon plans. Since we are buying a house and have a lot of expenses to pay for it might not be feasible.
