Wedding Woes

Wedding Blues

I'm probably just going to come across as sounding whiny, but has anyone else experienced what I can only describe as wedding planning blues?

My family's being completely uncooperative (I'm not talking financially, even though there's that as well it's not something to be upset over), no mom and/or dad, even the whole 'who walks me down the aisle' thing causes bickering.  Having conversations about the wedding with any of them is like pulling teeth (I don't expect everything to be ALL ABOUT ME, 24/7... but when you have to ask a family member three times if they've gotten your looooong email with ideas and questions before you even get a response, and that response is one line it just feels like they don't care -- also, just to clarify, it's not that said family member is in the middle of a crisis/unbelievably busy/etc. because they'll respond to other things almost immediately).

I'm super excited about marrying my fubby.  But I also feel terrible that the family I'm bringing to the table... just doesn't care when his family has been so amazing to me the entire time I've been with him.

This is pretty much a repeat of all the big events in my life to date, and I'm trying to avoid letting it get me down.  I'm just very disheartened that there's no one on my side to share the excitement with.

EDIT: Ugh, sorry about the double posting.  My computer decided to spaz out and I'm trying to figure out how (if I can) to delete one of them right now.

    They are who they are; a wedding won't change that.  If they were like this for your other big events, then they'll be like this for your future big events.  And in some ways it's a blessing - parents who don't care about your wedding are unlikely to take over and try to control your wedding.

    Um, 'fubby'?  Really?!

    Other than that, all I can tell you is that if your family hasn't been excited or made a big deal about big life events in the past, why would your wedding be any different?  Sometimes not having family all up in your stuff and 'excited' is a blessing in disguise.

    Is there some sort of faux paus related to the slang that I'm not aware of?
