Don't know how I'm going to do this

Salsera29 · December 2012

5 months down, 8 months to go. Apparently, wedding planning was not meant to be done by "people pleasers." If I can get through planning this wedding with all the relationships in my life intact, and my own sanity intact, it will be a success. (Not worried about the marriage in the least btw, FI and BFF are the only ones "on my side.") I know everyone always says, "it's your day, do what you want," and I'm trying...but putting my foot down with certain people makes me sick to my stomach. I'm not going to bore you with all the details (you can read some in my PP) but my question is this...

I know this is all supposed to be fun, For me, most of it is not. I can't even imagine myself walking down the aisle because I can't imagine all the things that are going to have to happen before that. How do I handle this better?

Stop discussing wedding plans with anyone who is not contributing finacially, make sure you and your FI are on the same page (he handles his side, you handle yours). Most important, realize that it is just a big party that you are throwing and don't try for perfect because that isn't going to ever happen.
