Vent Session: What's stressing you out right now?

My biggest stress right now is my fiance having paycheck issues with his job and me having to (try to) pay for anything towards the wedding. On top of not being able to get in touch with the catering company we'd like to book, not getting my FULL check this pay period, and still having to keep in mind that our next venue payment is due the first week of next month and I have to pay off my dress somehow by the end of this month.

I still have a payday loan that needs to be paid back (it was an emergency) and I still have to pay my car note for the month. There's been quite a few stressors this month alone. I'm just really hoping it turns around for the better in the next couple months or so. I'm about to lose my mind more than I already have!

My biggest stress right now is the logistics for the day-of. Unfortunately there is a reception the morning of, which finishes at 3pm... and we are able to enter the venue at.. 3pm... this leave an hour and half to set the reception hall up and begin the ceremony. With it being fall, sunset comes early too, which also means only an hour and a half after the ceremony to get ALL the photos in!! FH has asked not to see each other prior too. We knew this going in, and it's unpreventable as the venue frequently has two parties in a day.. It's just the principal of feeling rushed!! Like waiting ALLLL morning (besides getting hair/makeup done) only to be rushed starting at 3! My FH has reassured me everything will be taken care of and all I have to do is enjoy every moment.. i hope that's true!

My biggest stress right now is deciding if i should do cosmetology school before I get married or after.... school starts in January 2020 my wedding is in December 2020. I still have a couple of months to decide but there’s so many factors playing into my decision 👰🏻💍❤️

Logistics here too. So many moving pieces between hair & makeup, floral, photographer, church, and reception. I keep telling myself it will all work out. Down to finalizing the day-of schedule, final vendor meetings, communicating details, and doing the reception seating chart.

My biggest stressor right now is figuring out gifts for my bridal party. There’s too many options and I don’t know what would be best for each person.
There are more stressors of course haha but this one is on my mind currently

I've sent the final payments(checks) to all the caterers & a few of them have yet to put them in the bank. So I'm having to go back to old school ways & make sure I'm balancing everything right to make sure how much money I actually have 🤦

Wedding attire is stressing me out right not. Not just my dress, which I'm having doubts about and trying to work through. FMIL is stressing me out because the first dress she picked was a huge no and FH told her that. Now she's chosen a jumpsuit (which is fine and would look great on her) that looks like she's coming off the red carpet. We're having a semi-formal wedding at a barn which I've told her and gently said "that would look great on you, but I'm worried you'd stick out" but she insists on wearing these extravagant outfits, it just feels like she's trying to outshine me/everyone else. FH is very convinced that's what she's doing because her ex-husband (FH's father and best man) and his new wife are going to be at our wedding.

Also haven't figured out what we're doing for FH and his groomsmen, we barely see each other during the week and I don't want to fill our weekends with wedding talk when we do see each other, so I'm just going to give it time.

FH fell off his motorcycle because someone cut him off a few days ago and now is out of work for 6-8 weeks with a broken collarbone. He was working a lot of overtime to try and get this wedding paid off. Now I just got a second part time job just to cover our bills. I thank God that he walked away with only the one injury. It could have been way worse. But now were about 80 days out and I'm stressing with final payments!

My venue coordinator/ DOC. She is so awful about responding to stuff. I have to get any centerpieces approved by her. I have a rough draft that I sent her to make sure we were good. No response it's been a week. I'm keep telling myself I have time to figure this out, but a simple yes or no would be great. I also need her to expand the room block per the contract it says she will if rooms fill. I know rooms have been filling, plus my MOH called there for a room and they have none left in the block with King sized beds. I'm also trying to make the catering deposit to the venue, they take it then give it to the caterer; they apparently don't want my money for this. FH and I are talking about reaching out to the general manager there, I'm so beyond frustrated with the coordinator.

Trying to find a venue that allows us to have our wedding ceremony only because we found a reception space that we both absolutely love but cant get married there because we are not catholic, also my fiance doesn't want to put the deposit down on the reception space until we find somewhere to have the actual wedding (which makes sense) but is very frustrating lol

Nothing at the moment because securing a venue was my biggest headache and was over with. Dates were going by quick that I wanted in fall, it was time consuming researching and visiting the places, finding something in budget, etc.

I think maybe my next concern is finding a dress I love in budget.

My wedding is over and it's been over three months but haven't gotten back a lot of my photos and highlight video yet. My friends who did it for me are free so I can't really say or push much. It's a bit frustrating and I'm trying to be patient and understanding knowing they're hella busy people too but it's like ugh when will I get them all.

Everything..... lol
My fiance took a job where his income is substantially lower than mine and much less than what he used to bring home, now we need to buy a second car, which means 2 car payments and I'm really trying hard to stay on top of all our wedding payments also. We have scaled back but it's still a lot to deal with. Other than that I'M DOING AWESOME...... 😂😂 its life right? We all have too much on our plate

My biggest stress is trying to find a dress. I’ve been looking for three months and have been to over 15 stores! I haven’t even found one that I liked let alone loved! Worried I’m not going to find one and will end up settling on one that I don’t love

My biggest source of stress at the moment isn't wedding related. Honestly, nothing wedding related has really stressed me out. Yet. Which stresses me out thinking that the stress is coming haha I'm just dealing with car issues at the moment, which is ironic considering my FH is a mechanic. My car has been paid off for years and yes, it isn't the nicest to look at but FH keeps it safe and street legal which is all I care about. After the wedding I can get something better. That was my plan anyway but it may not happen that way. He keeps telling me not to worry, everything will be fine, but worry is my middle name unfortunately.

I'm trying not to stress about having all the eyes on me. I wanted to elope and my fiance wanted a large wedding so we met in the middle, but I am still trying to come to terms with the fact that I have to be the center of attention, which I hate.

My biggest stressor is our venue went up for sale and had to fine a new one... Well that's done but our caterer was attached to the old and now we need to figure out if we keeping them or letting them go and getting new as the company stated they didn't have to tell us about being on the market unless a buyer was in play... Due to the deception, I tempted to pull them and not pay for it but the delay in his deciding means we may be stick with them. Also wondering about if I need a day of corrdinator? Hmmm

View Quoted Comment Right there with you.. I have looked on line even but hesitate to buy due to guessing of size and the horror stories I hear. I also need to pick a style that fit me... Not a style that fits the one I see wearing it

Dress regret!!!!!

My biggest stressor is the change in plans this week. We were going to get married locally in September and now we are getting married in Las Vegas in January. That’s 8 months sooner. Our reception will still be in September as planned. I’m excited and happy but also a bit stressed out.
