Wedding jealousy..

Eh it's normal! Just remember - you get your special day, everyone else gets theirs as well. Yours will come, and it will be great!

I tend to be a jealous person (particularly with image issues) and I don't think jealousy is rare. Most people I know get jealous sometimes. Just make sure to check yourself and remind yourself of all the positive things you have when you feel that way. Your wedding is going to be perfect for you because it's yours. Maybe that sounds stupid, but that's what I always tell myself.

Aww, jealousy is the secondary emotion. What's underneath it? Fear that yours won't be good enough? That's what you need to address. Remember, the grass is always greener on the other side. Someone is jealous of you, too.

I totally get this. I had a huge fit of upset and jealousy when a cousin got engaged because they chose to have their engagement only last about 100 days. It was irrational on my part but I felt very upset because 90% of the family lives in all different states and them pushing their wedding first made me jealous because in the end it means less family will be likely to attend mine [several states away] which falls directly after.

I think jealousy or bad feelings is pretty normal [I have had plenty of friends experience this too] because wedding planning is often a roller coaster of feelings. Best to just tell yourself you are being petty or ridiculous and let it go.

Never had a reason to be jealous of anyone esp with this wedding. My wedding is going to be what its going to be and the ppl that matter most will be there to share that special day with me. Thats all that matters

I'm a jealous person by nature (like a PP said, especially with things pertaining to image) and before we got engaged I was definitely jealous of friends getting engaged/married, but now I am doing better. If I ever feel bummed because something is out of budget I just remind myself that it isn't about how large and intricate my centerpieces are or about if we can afford to offer the steak... it is about the fact that I will be married to the love of my life, and that's all that matters.

I can definitely sympathize with feelings of jealousy.

Recently a couple we graduated high school with got engaged in Disney in front of the castle, which was always my dream. And I'll admit I let it bother me for a little bit.

But at the end of the day, I know how lucky I am to have FH and how excited I am for my own wedding, and it passes.

There's nothing wrong with you--it's totally normal (as long as it passes and doesn't affect your own relationship).

Thank you guys for the kind words. The hard part is identifying the problem! That's what I've been trying to do but I can't! My wedding is anything I've ever wanted, got my dream dress, dream ring and dream fiancé. Maybe it's just because their date is already here and mine isn't!

I've gotten jokingly envious of friends who got engaged six months after I did and are getting married the month before lol, that's about it

The real jealousy...? (not sure i would call it that.) for me comes from some of the extravagant stories I see on here. I think to myself that my story isn't good enough or "up-scale" enough but then I take a step back and realize, there is always someone who is better or richer than you. I have taught myself that my wedding is going to be MY kind of beautiful and that maybe, just maybe, there's someone out there who is envious of my story! I am so happy to have the story I have, and I can't wait to see my wedding unfold. The little bit of jealousy is totally normal, just keep your eye on the prize. Your wedding will be perfect for you and and that's all that matters really!

Jealousy is a form of hate. But if you love then you'll overcome. Learn how to be content with your own hands, and the blessings that you receive then you'll be okay. Your happiness is not the same as some people

Also I personally think you should enjoy yourself and your hubby!!!! Congrats!!!!

Mine was mostly due to the fact that FH and I, like many people on here, are having to wait so we can save up for the wedding we want whereas people on my timeline were able to be married within three months of getting engaged. I've learned that everyone does things in their own time and their own way. FH and I will be married. That's the important thing. Our wedding will be a reflection of who we are personally and it will be carefully planned and thought out.

Jealousy isn't uncommon. Jealousy related to weddings should be kept in-check by reminding yourself of one thing: #firstworldproblem

Remember, weddings are a luxury for everyone. Doesn't matter if your budget is $1000 or $1,000,000. It's a luxury. So while you may get jealous of others planning their weddings, there are a lot of people in the world (right in your own country even) jealous of you that you have a computer and online access to even post about being jealous of other weddings.

Lol it's ok. I'm being super petty about FHs friends wedding (4 weeks before ours) but its really just bc i dont like the bride that much lol

Yes, I have had tiny bouts of jealousy of other people who have gotten engaged since I did. Don't know why!

I think one way I may understand where you are coming from is when others get engaged and everyone is so excited. I am envious of that time again. I def understand not wanting to hear about wedding plans but wedding planning is VERY lonely. Then I realize how lucky I am to marry my FH and how he will help make decisions and get through that to do list! Thankfully I have never wanted a big and crazy event but there are times I wonder if my wedding will be "good enough" and then I remember how its totally a reflection of us and we are doing it our way! Like others have said...look at what is underneath.

My only slight jealousy came when other people were getting engaged before we were, mainly because we had been together so long and other people who were hardly together were getting engaged. Not that that is bad but it was my own strong desire to finally be engaged that spurred that reaction for me

I think at one point in time or another we all have some sort of jealous or envious feeling towards somebody else, but let it go.

My MOHs brother is getting married the week after I am for a while it felt like we were copying each other. They have the same venue as us same color bridesmaid dresses a lot of the same things. It was honestly a little annoying at first just cause I felt that our weddings would be too similar and I'm still kind of scared of not having a good wedding but now that we're further along I've gotten over it. I'm just ready to marry FH and stop having wedding nightmares.
