Wedding blahs

Yes ma'am. Coped by cancelling the wedding and going to have a tiny destination ceremony with only 3 guests.

It shouldn't be so hard, should it? Let's hope all the people you love are still here to be with you after the Covid Wars. Be happy together, and take a break from planning. The feeling will come back, closer.

Feeling the same! We had to postpone from October 2020 to August 2021. Even though we have all the big stuff taken care of I am just unmotivated to do anything wedding right now. Going to give it a break until after the 1st of the year and hoping I can get the excitement back but covid is making it so hard especially now that we are going backwards with all the restrictions. Covid took the joy out of the planning! Good luck and hope things get better for you!

I'm kind of inclined toward this attitude, as well.

The fundamental requirement for your wedding is that you and your fiancé(e) are participating in the moment 100%. So do whatever you need to, to make that happen -- even if that means postponing or radically altering your plans!

If depression is something you've dealt with throughout your life, maybe this is impetuous to see a doctor and get on the right medication? Then you have a better chance of feeling like yourself on wedding day.

To answer your actual question, I don't think I felt depressed, but I definitely felt burnt out by wedding planning in the months leading up to the day. I remember, in the months before our wedding, telling (near tears) my now-husband that I felt alone and overwhelmed by wedding planning.
