Stressful Wedding Planning?

The toughest for us was finding a venue. We finally found our venue and now waiting to make our deposit. Hopefully everything else goes smoothly or at least as smooth as possible.

Honestly every time I start on a new part of planning I get super stressed out and then once I've made the final decision on that item I'm fine. I just finished the invitation part which I obsessed over for months! And now I'm onto a new item which is finding a make-up & hair artist, let the stress-ing begin!

I think the most stressful part was booking the wedding with the town hall and obtaining my visa to where we are going. To get a date, we had to inquire four months in advance by providing a notice to marry plus a bunch of documents and we nearly missed the deadline for June. At the same time, I needed a visa to visit whereas my partner doesn't and the visa was specific for certain dates. Thankfully we were able to get the date we wanted and the visa came through. I was really nervous about it all.

I haven’t had any one single part that is more stressful than the rest, but I have had a few times when just looking at my to-do list was overwhelming. I have to make myself little weekly lists to make it feel more manageable. I have decided that I absolutely hate making centerpieces though lol it’s not stressful necessarily but I did not enjoy it (they are so pretty now that they are done though!)

For sure venues since we haven't been able to find one in our price range and I've been looking for 4 months! Oh and dresses, very disheartening for people to say that I should just go to value village. I don't have any issues with value village but I haven't seen any wedding dresses from there that aren't from the 80s lol. Also just makes me feel super poor

To be honest, it's just all the decision making. I am not very confident with making decisions. I typically know if I want something or not, but when it's a this or that situation and I don't feel strongly about either, I am at a loss. I keep defaulting to my FH to make the decision because it stresses me out so much!!!
