Hey gals and guys,
I'm really having a hard time with everything going on. I love my fiance to death, but everyone keeps butting in to all of our plans. It's no longer "our" wedding. It's everyone elses wedding.
I'm so frusterated right now. I have gotten into fights with my mom (for trying to take over my big day), my sister (for her dress shopping while I was trying on dresses), my future mother in law and future sister in laws (for going dress shopping without me), my grandmother (for calling and making sure that everyone that she wanted to be there was on the guest list), and now my fiance and I are fighting because I'm so overstressed and he's sick of everyone else fighting.
I'm trying to make everyone else happy, but now I'm starting to realize that I'm making myself miserable. My fiance and I have talked about calling off the whole wedding (even though almost everything is paid for, (my wedding is in a sept)) and just doing a small ceremony with a few close friends and family.
We know we want to get married and spend the rest of our lives together, but everyone is getting in the way of us being happy and wanting things our way. I feel like our wedding has turned into a popularity contest for our parents. They're inviting people they haven't talked to in 5+ years. My fiance and I almost had to start cutting people off our guest list.
I'm just wondering if all the stress of a big wedding is even worth it. Has anyone else been in these situations or is it just me? I'm so stressed and can't quit getting upset over the littleist things. I used to be a strong person, but now I feel like I need a second opinion on everything I do (even my job), just to make sure everyone else is okay with it.
Please help!
