The worst part of wedding planning for me was addressing all the invites and worrying about things running smoothly! What is the worst part of planning for you guys?

    Planning the ceremony. We come from different religions and have some outspoken family members who aren't the most polite. It's tough balance what's important to our families and us without pushing too hard in any direction and causing major issues (both parents are helping pay, so they both get some major input)

    The worst part for me was dress shopping. I literally went to every store in my area and didn't find a thing that I liked. I ended up buying my dress in March of this year, off the rack. I just couldn't find anything that I felt looked good on me. The dress I ended up picking however, makes me feel beautiful. I can't wait to wear it this weekend!!!

    I'm at that point where I'm just over it all. We asked someone special to us to be our officiant and she said yes, so I was super excited again for a day. The next day it just went back to being no fun again.

    We were having trouble booking a DJ and the caterer we are going to a tasting for tomorrow is just so bad at communication. Like I said our tasting is tomorrow, he offered to find a place closer to us to do the tasting when we booked a tasting almost a month ago. Something closer to the location of our venue (he is 1 hour from it, we are 2). I told him that was very nice of him and to please let me know what happens. Last week I sent him an email and asked what's up and he didn't write me back until last night. So now it's been a day of trying to figure out a time that works for both of us and coming up with nothing because his first response email was blank. I asked him to send it again and I haven't gotten anything. I understand that he is busy, but it's a long way for us to go to not know what is happening.

    The money and the Church's requirements for the marriage sacrament since my FH is non-Catholic. I'm at the point where I wish we had just nixed the religious celebration of our marriage and called it a day after the courthouse ceremony when he emigrated.

    Trying to get the rsvps. Our final numbers were due to hotel 48 hrs in advance with our table plans. Put my rsvp date one month before the wedding, thinking two weeks for all the late arrivals in the post, a week to chase up the last few and a few days to spare. Only had to chase up a few people, but for very good reasons people had to change their minds at the last minute, just before and after I sent in the final numbers. two couples rang to say they hoped to be there, but now wouldn't know until the day, all good reasons I wasn't annoyed with them. But it kind of put things In a heap as I didn't want loads of empty chairs for the meal as a few had already ang to say they were ill and wouldn't make it after I sent the numbers in ( thier names had to be left on the seating plan and we asked for the chairs to be taken away) we had to pay for the final numbers we sent in. It all worked out,but was just stressful at the time.

    Being overseas and relying on other people to make that phone call or meet with a vendor. I want to be able to do it myself.

    ...shop around and find the little things and decor pieces myself, gathering them gradually.

    Not being able to try on wedding dresses.

    Anything related to the guests.

    -Coming up with the guest list to try to keep an intimate wedding while not excluding any loved ones. Turned out to be impossible haha.

    -Figuring out how to include all parents and step-parents equally. Also impossible.

    -I am dreading the seating charts
