Am I The Only One Who Feels This Way?

Does anyone feel like they are the only one who really cares about their wedding?

I've had a very negative wedding planning experience. I'll spare you the details, but basically I invited people, bent over backwards to give them full disclosure on everything, and ended up having to replan the entire wedding at the last minute. I've been humiliated and ignored by all kinds of "wedding professionals" based on how much I was willing to spend (i.e. not enough in their eyes) and my unresponsive guests are driving me up the wall.

I've downsized my wedding, cut lots of extras, and decided against a lot of other little "details" just to save myself the added stress.

Even with 32 days left until the wedding, I feel like I'm running around like a chicken without a head trying to make sure I don't embarass myself completely with this wedding, trying to pull together took-my-money-and-ran vendors, absent-minded vendors and non-chalant vendors.

I feel like a Bridezilla, but I'm honestly just a frustrated bride who wants this whole mess to be over with.

Does anyone else feel like they are the only ones who care about their wedding happening? Did anyone have at least a better experience?

    I feel the same as you a lot of the time. I have had tons of fun planning the wedding, but I will be happy when everything is over. I have been shocked by the cost of everything. Also, people have been surprisingly picky, controlling, and judgemental about minor details in all aspects of the day.

    Money is a huge factor in planning our wedding, but I still want it to be nice. We are having the reception at the outdoor pavilion at my church because it's free. My mom and several other family members keep asking if they can change as soon as the wedding is over! They want to be in shorts and tshirts for the reception. And I'm not talking khaki shorts either! And they got upset when I said no! Who does that?!?

    I have no idea. I'd throw a fit if my guests did that to me.

    I know! People act like picking one flower over another is the end of the world. Seriously!

    You are not alone! I'm sorry you have gotten so little support with your planning. When I get frustrated with others, talking to my fiance about something non-wedding related really helps me feel better. It reminds me how lucky I am to have such a great guy and how wonderful it will be to spend our lives together. Best wishes on your big day.
