    Take a wedding-planning vacation. Set aside a weekend and don't talk about the wedding at all and try not to think about it. Do the stuff you love to do as a couple: go out to dinner, take a hike, visit a local city, plant a garden.

    In all honesty, I never understand why brides get so stressed. You set a budget, and hire vendors that fit into that budget. What's the problem?

    If you want to invite 250, then they might only get to eat cake and punch. If you decide to invite 80 then they might get steak. The numbers determine the type of wedding you have, and move from there. A heartfelt ceremony is the purpose of the day anyway, right?

    Have you considered hiring a wedding planner?  Or maybe getting a venue that does almost everything for you so you don't have to worry about it?
    As for reconnecting after a fight, it helps if both parties swallow their pride and apologize.  Then, calmly explain your feelings about whatever situation it is that caused the fight and he explains his.  Really listen and try to come to a compromise.  Then you can be lovey dovey, and yes, there is always makeup sex.

    Hey now.  Honestly the more we have the closer I feel to him and the less the little things bug me.  I'm also more relaxed and I feel better about myself.

    Really? There are a ton of things that can stress someone out. If it's not budget, it's people changing/not responding their RSVPs. If it's not that, it's a vendor not following through with what they promised.

    At the end of the day, all that matters IS that you marry your FI. But when you spend so much time/energy planning to host your guests properly, you want to make sure they are hosted properly.

    I still stand by my comments. You choose what you allow to stress you out. You can pick up the phone for those guests that don't rsvp, and how are vendors not following through when the wedding hasn't even happened yet?

    Yes, there will be stressful moments, but you need to regroup if wedding planning is about to cause you to pull your hair out. Plus, I'm at the point in life where I want to be happy more than stressed, so that leads me to make decisions accordingly.
