Good Morning,

Have anyone else had any changes or a wake-up call?

I hope all is well. I have started to feel overwhelmed by the cost of this wedding. My fiance has expressed some concerns and we are not backtracking. Luckily our wedding isn't until June! We have decided to cut out the guest list and looking to cut in order areas as well. After this weekend, I realized that I want my wedding to be great however, I'm not looking to please others. I was so stressed about the guest list and now I am like cut, cut, cut lol. We are planning to have a child after and I just want to be comfortable after the wedding. Certain things I wanted well thought I wanted, I am not realizing it's not worth having and this wedding is about my fiance and me.

I've had a few small meltdowns over the cost. our budget is 3k-4k, which I know to some may seem small, but to it's a big undertaking. I've gotten everything laid out and budgeted but I still freak out every now and then thinking we're doing too much.

Good thinking. I was really overwhelmed initially. So overwhelmed that 6 months prior i felt like i was having a panic attack and wanted to puke. So we postponed (wedding was Aug 2018). Now we gave ourselves a cheaper venue, more time and i feel much better. I'm at the 5 month mark and haven't puked once. I still worry about finances to be honest, but we will make it work. I always wanted to host what we could afford and cut back on some trivial things, especially things nobody actually cares about and we most likely won't even remember. Sometimes i have to control my ideas and bring it back to reality. I felt so much better after postponing. No regret.

100%! Our total so far is only about $9k for everything, but that is a lot for us! I think about saving for a house or kids and have minor freak outs lol However this is something we both really want, it really is a killer deal for the place, and I am truly excited for it 😊

Yes I have. We haven't even begun to be able to plan because of the cost. We have to wait until the first of the year when income taxes come back. I worry that won't be enough and we're having a smaller wedding since it's a second marriage for us both.
