Stressing out

A small ceremony would definitely save you money! You or him could also doordash or grubhub etc if you were looking for easy ways to make more money. Hopefully your situation gets better though! Try not to stress, you have a little while to go

View Quoted Comment Hi thank you we dont have a car so that is out. Even tho that it is next year you that alot of things and venue is a great deal but we have a had these unforeseen situations that came and threw us off. Dealing with our mourning of family members I just pray that we stay strong together we dont live together yet. And thank you so much for your time and help

I’m sorry to hear about your struggles. Sadly, all wedding planning during covid has been especially crazy. Definitely scale down if that will help reduce the stress. A few weeks ago, we canceled our October wedding plans and decided to elope with just the 2 of us instead. In our case, finances weren’t the issue. I was just tired of chasing the path of this virus and trying to create a wedding based around a deadly pandemic. It was no longer worth the mental roller-coaster. We we’re originally 10/10/20 in Las Vegas… then we postponed a year to 10/30/21, still in Vegas…. and then we moved the wedding locally to San Diego for 10/30/21 (especially for the comfort and convenience of our guests)…. But now the final plan is to be elope in Hawaii because our honeymoon was already booked there (we also jokingly moved the wedding date back a day to Halloween because this planning has been a straight nightmare 🤪). This has honestly been the BEST decision during this ongoing pandemic!! Let me tell you… I immediately felt pure relief as soon as we canceled and no longer had all of the uncertainty weighing on my shoulders. I feel extremely excited again! So, next year, we’ll celebrate our 1st anniversary with family and friends without the wedding worry.

View Quoted Comment Yes I feel that way I should have just listened to him when he suggested it the first time but I talked him out of it and he was doing it for me but now more and more ppl are are asking too come. And now its feeling very overwhelming and I feel guilty about it. Yes and it is a lot and crazy. I'm really leaning towards that

I'm sorry to hear of the physical and financial stress, on top of the losses in the family. Sending you guys wishes of strength and healing and perseverance! I love the idea of a small ceremony to focus on you two and your love and your strong bond!

View Quoted Comment I hear you. At first I felt a little bad when I first thought about about canceling because we had already postponed and then switched locations. So, a part if me felt like another change would be so annoying to our guests. But, I also knew they’d be fine with it… and they totally were. Their support and understanding decreased the stress even more. It’s still a secret to most of our guests and only our parents and four friends know about the elopement. So we’ll inform everyone else afterward with a “surprise” message and photo. Luckily, you still have a lot of time left. I wish you the best with your decision and hope things get better overall.

View Quoted Comment Hi thank you so much Allie for that yes both sides of our family we are helping with in this sad time. Thank you again for the spiritual support I just keep praying and give it to God blessing

View Quoted Comment Oh ok and I sorry I forgot to say Congratulations to you both on our first correspondence. Yes it will be a surprise well for the most part most of our friends understand and say to do what we think is right for us. But I dont want to pressure him in any way. I just want us to get married and start our lives together. God bless you and your husband with a great life together

View Quoted Comment Your welcome ❤

I’M sorry to hear this!! My husband and I had planned a cruise wedding, but then COVID hit and we just said bump it we want to be married. I had my immediate family and close people I love, and had a small ceremony at my church!! I loved it that way, but I knew my family wanted to see me walk down that aisle, and I wanted my sibilings to experience that!! Overall do what you can afford now, and then have something bigger later on I say. Don’t allow it to cause a strain in your relationship. I so too experienced death of loved ones, and I realize life is so short so I’m going to make the best of it!! At the end of the day you and your future husband are the ones that have to live after having a big wedding!! Don’t break yourself trying to make everyone and they mama happy!! Sending love, peace, & prayers your way😘

View Quoted Comment Thank you for are absolutely right now we are trying to heal and revisit our own wishes because it was a lot of ppl wanting to be invited and I convinced him to go with my plans because this is both our first and only marriage ever and I wanted us to have a beautiful wedding but now with all this going on I need a mental pause. So I'm hoping that we can just pick a weekend and go for it. Thank you so much and your prayers and well wishes and prayers for your family as well for your losses 🤗❤❤

Wow, I'm really sorry to hear about your family stressors! Yes focus on healing, and maybe readjust things. My best to you.

We had a super tiny legal ceremony at the lake last year due to COVID and are now having our wedding next week! Things will start looking up. I’m sorry for the loss of your family member.
