Sometimes you just need to cry

Suzanne, on April 2, 2020 at 2:58 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 5

Wedding planning is stressful under normal circumstances, but this pandemic along with financial collapse is making it a formidable challenge. I'm trying to hold it all together, but it's hard to take it one day at a time and pray that I can keep it all together for the wedding of my dreams.

    I hear you. It's that factor of uncertainty that's really killer. But remember that just because things don't go according to your original plan, doesn't mean that your wedding day won't be an amazing day regardless! Maybe it's a different season/location/budget, but as long as you're married and having a wonderful time with your friends and family, it can't be too bad right? Some of my fondest memories were spur of the moment outings, cheap trips, and unintentionally amazing parties, while some of the best planned events and pricey vacations turned out to be completely miserable. Don't think that it won't be a total dream even if it's not what you orginially planned. Keep your eye on the prize (which is hopefully marriage and good company), and I don't think anything can really go wrong. Smiley smile

    Deep breaths, chin up, and best of luck. Hopefully everything starts to calm down soon and we can all carry on with our weddings.

    Hands down it's all stressful and current affairs i.e. virus doesn't make it easier.
    A good cry is normal - were human. I certainly did it.
    But at the end of the day its about you, FH and having strong support system during these tough times.All the best !!!

    Hi Suzanne,

    Cry it out! There's so much happening (or not) right now. If you're like me, your feelings can range from relief (that you're safe at home or that your wedding is still 3 months away) to stress that there's a ton of uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and our return to normalcy. It's a lot, so it's okay to be nervous or worried.

    You're not alone! Here's a recent discussion with other July brides: Covid-19 July brides.

    Thinking of you! Smiley heart

    I'm so sorry! It's such a tough time right now. Thankfully being able to post on the forums here has been really helpful to me.

    There's nothing wrong with being stressed/worried/panicked/whatever emotions you feel It's such a big day, and we've all put so much into planning it. Allow yourself to feel the emotions when you need to. But also make sure you take some time for self-care and do things to relax - whether it's drinking wine while soaking in the bathtub or eating a bunch of ice cream. I keep telling myself eventually this will pass and someday it'll be a good story.
