Wedding 22 days away- Freaking Out

Angela, on September 23, 2020 at 2:14 PM Posted in Planning 0 9
I’m 22 days away and may have just broken my toe by kicking a trash can because I’m an idiot. I’m an over-planner who has been trying to be laid back and casual about the whole thing, with Covid and everything else going on in the world I am really freaking out about this wedding. I have limited it to 50 people and it’s outside, and I feel like I have so much left to do, but what really matters? Will anyone even care? Favors, desserts, decorations, finding a hair person..trying not to kill a family member by spreading this virus, .the right shoes, this that and everything else. I’ve been off my meds for a few days, pretty stupid, and was so frustrated and upset that I hurt myself pretty badly and now I’m sitting at urgent care waiting for an x-ray and probably a big shoe for my broken toe. I guess I don’t need to worry about finding the right shoes anymore.


I know that this is just one day and a party, we have been together 3 years and living together for almost 2. I’m not sure why I’m freaking out so much, just very much lost in all these details and just cannot wait for it to be done and over with to be honest, so I can get back to my normal life.
Thanks for reading this, I just needed to vent I think, I’m so over this wedding planning and covid stuff.

    I am so sorry to hear about your toe!! Vent away!!

    I think there's pressure to have everything just right for that one special day. There are so many small details that go into it. You begin to wonder - what's the point? WHAT'S THE MEANING OF ALL THIS?!

    Are you doing all the planning alone? I know for me, that's been the most frustrating thing. Feeling like you just want it be here and over with because you can't handle another hiccup.

    I hope things better for you!

    Omg lol try to calm down so you aren’t stressing yourself or possibly hurting yourself worse than you already did.


    I’m sure it’ll all come together and everything will be fine!

    I’m doing a lot of it myself, my fiancé is helping but a lot of times he’s just like “do it this way, don’t worry about it, let the professionals handle it!” And I know he’s trying to make it easier and simple, but some of it doesn’t work like that and all of these professionals are basically like “whatever you want, you’re the bride,” even after I’ve asked them to guide me, I’m seriously tired of having to nit-pick every detail. My best friend has been helping as much as she can, she just went through a break up and moving so I know she doesn’t have time to deal with all my wedding drama, but she has been helping as much as possible. I will just have to do my best and have fun on the day, that’s the most important thing. It is a bit crazy to think I’ve been planning out one day so thoroughly! Thanks for commenting, I appreciate it.

    Right?! I think I learned my lesson this time, sort of a forced slow down, maybe I needed that, strange way to try to get it. Going to try to manage my stress a little better than I was. Thank you!

    Don’t worry about your toe - they will probably just “Buddy tape” it, and you’ll be on your merry way. One thing that’s helpful for me (when I’m feeling overwhelmed and my mind is racing) is actually to focus on breathing. Like cover one nostril...breathe in. Ok now switch sides/nostrils and breathe out. Repeat until things seem a little less overwhelming! You got this!

    Oh my gosh, yes, the breathing! I sometimes do some alternate nostril breathing during yoga, I have completely fallen off of my yoga, meditation, deep breathing routine so that was probably part of the problem. I got a “sexy” shoe from the doctors office and am just going to rest up a bit and get back into the good stuff. Thank you!

    Oh that's awesome! Sometimes for me...when I need to take a moment and do yoga for the physical and mental benefits...is when I LEAST want to do it. Go figure! So that's awesome that you already do the alternate nostril breathing (I had forgotten the term for it...haha!). And you totally got this.....with the breathing exercises, you will get your mindset right and knock out the last few planning steps!! And with this community, I think it's the best place to get support from lots of other former, current, and future brides...so you definitely came to the right place, and we are all rooting for you!
