Stressed to the max

Ahah yeah. A ton of my friends told me they think they'd rather elope after seeing me plan my wedding and all that goes into it

I feel you! What part is stressing you out so much?

View Quoted Comment My fiancé is out of town working and only comes home every three months for seven days and I'm stuck putting everything together so that's a starter lol But let's just say a bridesmaid and maid of honor are too opinionated on what I have done for this wedding and how I've prepared for my big day. And when you have no one to help you, you turn to your girls in the need of help. And I really do wish I could fire both of these girls bc they have brought nothing but pettiness and drama to this whole bridal party. And if it wasn't for my wedding being in two weeks they'd be gone. There's just so much more with them two they're just the problem of this whole wedding 🤦🏼‍♀️ And my maid of honor is supposed to be my "best friend" and that's what pisses me off the most

Ugh. I know what you mean. Every time I think about it I find something new to stress about. I was looking at pjots of the venue we chose on Facebook today and started obsessing over how ugly their chairs are. They're black framed with brown vinyl padding on the backs and seats. If I want to cover them it's $5 a chair. I can't rationalize that. I'm also not allowed to bring my own chair covers. Also..centerpieces and all decorations for that matter are a concern right now.. My mind needs to stop.

View Quoted Comment Oh my gosh I feel for you girl! Is it too late to find another venue????

View Quoted Comment I don't think the chairs are a deal breaker for me..but it does make me sad that I can't just put covers on them myself. Especially a stretch one that doesn't really need to attach to anything.

Our wedding is a little over four months away..so I just need to get over the ugly chairs. Haha

View Quoted Comment Ugh that sounds awful. They need to keep their opinions to themselves..and their drama. You don't need it.

Oh wow! Yea, I see where you're coming from. That's really unfortunate that they're adding to your stress. Your girls should definitely be there for you in your time of need and that work schedule is something vicious!

Very stressful! If it’s not someone complaining about something, it’s someone not sending back rsvp but still show, to bridesmaids not responding, to family drama! Lol but my big day is this Sunday, & though i will miss the planning, I’m glad it’s almost here!

View Quoted Comment I'm sorry you've had such a tough time with your bridal party! They are definitely supposed to be supportive instead of hurtful and making the process harder on you. I think you really learn a lot about people when planning a wedding. I would say drop those girls as friends after your big day because you deserve way better friendship than that!

My fiance has been extremely involved in this process which has had it's own challenges but being 5 days away I'm finding myself obsessing about last minute details and logistics! Just remember to breathe and keep up the self-care! Good luck!

I’m there with you. The amount of planning, shopping and phone calls involved is insane.

Yes! I can't afford to have someone plan for me, but am beginning to understand why people shell out for it. Also, tack the word "wedding" on anything and I swear the price jumps 500%. 🙄

These are awful situations! I had pretty bad venue experiences that unfolded during my wedding in April. But the important thing to focus on during stressful periods is the marriage versus the wedding ❤️ That always cheered me up! And at the wedding itself, when everyone was celebrating my husband and me, only my crotchety old aunt looked at my chair style 😉 I couldn’t tell you what color cushions they had as I sit here today! If details slip through the cracks, let them - everyone will still have a grand time 🥰😘

I hear you!!! I have taken a wedding planning break for a little while now and getting back into it recently. The little detail things are what keeps popping up. I created a few Word documents to help keep it all organized, we have Wedding Questions, Wedding To-Do's, What we need to get and what we have, etc.

My day was exactly... even MORE than I had Hoped- even MORE than I had Ever dreamed of since I’m a girl! HOWEVER- it was no small feat and if there were any word of advice I could Give the next bride to be is DONT UNDER BUDGET PHOTOGRAPHY! If you’re anything like me you will easily lose sight of the day/days being busy planning and pulled in so many directions you will miss a lot of moments 😪. Your photographer is there to capture those - so make it count! I used Amanda Seeley photography out of NYC/Long Island and my photos are my prized possessions- beyond spectacular! Getting your memories in print and seeing your vision come to LIFE make the stress of battling your 85 year old grandmother the day before the wedding on her 4th wardrobe change.. and your brothers missed flight... and your bridesmaids being late to rehearsal... and your other friend screaming at hotel staff in front of your husbands entire “normal” family (would’ve been fine if it we’re mine 🤣🙄)... Oh and the food being put out late (and some not seen at all... shall I continue 🤣) ALL GO AWAY! Seriously none of the hiccups of the week or day... and there will be plenty... will matter once you see what you and your NOW husband pulled off! Don’t lose sight of what it’s really about- not to sound corny- but I wish I listened To brides who told me that beforehand- It’s impossible to create a perfect day on your own- but it will be a great story for your kids and their future spouses one day- and if you’re not as into funny stories as my husband and I are- DEF budget some Day of Help as well- trust me, they mean well, but your friends will be too drunk from dealing with your ball of stress all morning to do the job 🤣! Hope this helps xo

Yesss!!! but it is all worth it in the end, i promise!
