Wedding stress

Jamie ❤️, on August 9, 2021 at 1:53 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 12
I just need some reassurance from other girls, my wedding is literally this Thursday and don't get me wrong I'm super excited and happy but, is it normal to get stressed a few days before your wedding? Like seriously... I feel like I'm stressing over stuff that I have no control over. I just want everything to go good yet it's a small details that I'm worried about. The appointment to get my hair done is on Wednesday and today for about 2 hours are stressed out because I was thinking about what if my hair stylist sews in my weave wrong? Why would I think that? She does my hair all the time and never made a mistake yet now because of a wedding I think she's going to mess up? I'm sure it's maybe because of all this but I just need some reassurance, is this normal am I just freaking out for no reason? Has anybody else been through this before their wedding?

    I have not had that experience yet, but i'm sure that I will. With all the stress and time that goes into planning you just want everything to be perfect!

    I would recommend trying to take a deep breath ( I know easier said than done) but also do something for yourself thats not wedding related. IE get a massage, take a hot bath, read a book, and try to get some good rest.

    Congrats and im sure it will be wonderful!

    Just remember that at the end of the day, if you are married, the day was a success! Any errors will just be something to laugh about later!

    Absolutely on the same train as you right now with my hair and nails. My stress is that I'm still looking for someone to do the 1st part I need done cause my stylist doesn't do it 😑. And the person I was talking to about my nails hasn't responded for a few days so I'm asking around to still get that done. I'm just over it and hope everything falls into place.

    I know how you feel so many things happen these last few days as well for me. First one of my fiance's friends told me that he wouldn't be able to make it because his manager is refusing to give him the day off. ((In my opinion I think that was his fault because he actually told his manager last week about the wedding when I told his friend about the date of the wedding four months in advance. If he would have told him earlier this wouldn't have happened)) so I have to have my younger brother take this place and now my mom has to hurry and find a matching tux fo him.

    And then literally the same week I get a call from one of my bridesmaids telling me the same thing, that her manager isn't giving her the day off but the difference between her and him is her manager didn't take the time (4 months in advance) she gave him to find coverage for her because she does security and just this week he told her that she needs to find coverage which is his job. And by no surprise because it's so late no one accepted and she can't come so I have to find another bridesmaid 😭 AND make sure she has the same dress.


    To make matters worse the reservation I made in Indeo for our honeymoon , the resort ended up getting the room I ordered wrong so I had to pay an extra $150 to change a mistake THEY made.-.

    $150 made a big difference on the budget I tried to put my self on this week because I still have to pay to get my hair done, my makeup, nails, and eyebrows😟. It's not that I won't be able to pay for all these things I will but nobody likes going over their budget.


    But yeah my mother-in-law saw that I was really stressing gave me some tea that really helped me calm down. Right now I'm just watching my favorite anime in my free time trying to distract myself 😅

    As someone whose wedding was completely altered by things outside of her control, my best advice is to just let it go. You’ve done what you can at this point, and whatever will happen will happen. I know this is easier said than done, but letting go of the small things (that really don’t matter in the grand scheme of things) will help you enjoy your day so much more. I promise that you are going to be beautiful (even if your weave is sewn in incorrectly) on your day because the glow you will have when it comes to marrying your other half will outshine anything else around you. Breathe, focus on your person, and let anything go of anything that doesn’t go exactly as you have planned it. You’ve got this, beautiful woman!

    OMG! That's crazy. I couldn't even imagine that amount of stress. Especially so close. We've been over budget for awhile lol but luckily, FH's grandpa (as a gift) decided to help us out quite a lot. But as far as having to find replacements, I'd honestly pull my hair out. We will get through this girl. Come hell or high water!

    We're still 3 months out (Nov. 6) and I'm already stressing over all the little things and wanting everything to be perfect. God love my mom - she always brings me back in off the ledge and one of the big things she has taught me is that if something doesn't go exactly as you wanted it to, the only one who's going to know is you (and in this case maybe your fiancée) but at the end of the day most of our guests will have no clue about all the little intricate details that we are so focused on being perfect. The only way a small mishap or missed detail will ruin your day is if you let it. Smiley smile Like one of the other posters mentioned take some time for you BEFORE the wedding. Give yourself time to decompress even if it's as simple as some deep breathing. Everything will be perfect - including your hair! Smiley smile

    We had our wedding a little over a week ago, and I, surprisingly, wasn't all that stressed out until literally the day before the wedding when we set up the venue. We had to reschedule so many times that it didn't seem real until literally hours before the wedding.

    Everything will work out for the best, even with the stress!!!!!!

    Anime and tea are good. How about after, you write a sweet note to your fiance to read before the ceremony-- and re-read it when stress gets you down. Or write a post-it for yourself with a mantra. For example: "I know there's a lot that could go wrong. What could go right?" or "I will not let this be me (aka the unhappy bride)". I will be getting married this week also and am taking small steps to be "Zen Wen". All will be well, you'll see. Smiley laugh

    It is normal to feel that way, but just remember that everything will be alright. You will have an amazing day and get to marry your best friend!! The day of my wedding, the stylist told me she didn’t “do wigs” which is what I was expecting to style. I have a freak out moment but then realized I couldn’t do force her or anything. Luckily my mom was there and she was able to help her. I stressed out about so many things and that didn’t even cross my mind until it happened. That being said, things will happened not quite the way you planned but it will all work out at the end. Sending you good vibes!!😊

    For events like this you need two hair appointments, like the day of your wedding for touch up's or you just need a all day appointment to make sure your hair is done right the way you want it.
