I am completely stressed and don't want to plan anymore

I don't have any desire to plan my wedding yet I still have some details and some major goals to achieve in the next 6 months.

Fortunately, my fiance is willing to pick up some of the slack. But all the details..whether little or major are stressing me out.

I have officially come to the point where I wished we would have just eloped or had a city hall wedding.

I am also afraid of what people will think on the day of the wedding. We are on a budget and its not going to be lavish (nice but not lavish) and I am not loosing much weight.

Anxiety has officially hit. Normal?

Anniversary

    If you have friends who have offered help, take them up on it! If you have a bridal party, this is part of what they're supposed to be helping with!

    Take a breath and relax, enjoy the holidays ilke Jmo said and get back to it all when you've had a chance to have a proper break :)

    Take some time off to breathe, enjoy your FI and the holidays and come back to the wedding planning next year. It's what FI and I are doing. I was just stressing out TOO MUCH and this is the time of year to be happy and joyful. I hope it helps you as much as it's helped me!

    Totally normal.  I basically wanted to give up as soon as i started.  Looking for venues was not fun.  Some people plan weddings in less than 6 months and they are perfectly lovely.  And a budget wedding can still be lovely!

    I agree with pp. take a break and get back to being a person not just a bride. Believe me it gets overwhelming. I went through this stage and got so annoyed when people asked me about the wedding. I wanted to yell "I've got a life other than planning this one effing day!" Then I put down all wedding stuff for a few weeks and was much better.

    It is definitely completely normal.  I have spouts of wedding planning and then I'll go a month or so without doing anything for it.

    Normal! I had these EXACT same feelings almost exactly six months out :) Take a break. Talk to FI, maybe he can pick up some slack. Talk to friends, they might be able to make you feel better about people enjoying everything you've planned. Or talk to us, because I'm sure that everything you're doing -- even if it's on a budget (actually, especially if it's on a budget...I've seen girls on TK do some AMAZING things) is lovely! Take a step back and relax.

    I am right there with you! I have lost pretty much all desire to do anything wedding related. Bad time for this to happen too. Just the thought of the wedding stresses me out to no end.

    I agree- take a break.  I also found that making a detailed to do list really helped.  It didn't seem so overwhelming.  I could just pick one area to focus on and crossing off items on the list made me feel better.... good luck!
