May 2014 Weddings

Meltdown! :(

Hey everyone! So my wedding is in 19 days! I am feeling every emotion under the sun! (Happy, excited, annoyed, frustrated, anxious, nervous). I am on an emotional rollercoaster! To top it off, because i have begun to micromanage the wedding details, Im feeling very stressed and feeling on edge. This has begun to affect my relationship with my fiance as we are constantly arguing about the stupidest things! . . . can anyone else relate? :/

Re: Meltdown! :(

  • The last couple of weeks have actually been the least stressful for me. I made sure I planned out everything well ahead of time and I haven't had a lot of stuff to do. Now that the wedding is getting closer FI has actually been more helpful than he has been the whole time we have been planning. 

    Do you have a ton of stuff left to do? Is there any way you and FI can maybe just take a day and go do something fun with no wedding talk and relax? That may help you get refreshed and be ready to tackle whatever you have left to do.

    Mine is in 19 days as well and I actually don't have much left to do. I was freaking out at the beginning of May a little, mostly because of nerves. I think it's important to accept that things can and will go wrong, and you just have to roll with it. The important thing is that you get married, no matter what happens that day.
  • Yeah, I too planned most everything as soon as I could so I wouldn't have much to do in the last several weeks or so.  If you still have a lot to do, make a clear list of what needs to get done.  Then you need to go through that and prioritize what needs to get done first and then just focus on one or two things at a time that you can get done.  Try to relax and when you feel the crazy come on (like maybe your FI left the used butter knife out again and you're ready to loose your shit on him) stop, take a deep breath and count to ten slowly.  Try to pause before you react to FI and that might keep the nothing fights to a minimum.  And lastly maybe you should try to set aside some quiet time for yourself.  Even if it just means enjoying a book outside in the sunshine for an hour or so. 
    Remember, it will all get done, and you'll have a beautiful wedding no matter what.  And bet part is, you'll be married to the love of your life by the end of the day.  So try to keep that in mind.  Its the marriage that matters most, not the wedding. :)
    Anniversary
  • I'm on my last week, and FI and I have been having little fights over nothing, which we do not usually do.  Just brush it off, apologize if you think you're wrong, and breathe!
    I've been living off my planner this past month trying to get all of my little projects done.  5 days left and plenty to do!!  
    Just remember, once the wedding has passed, you will be married!  And no more planning!
  • Thank you all for your words. I think its nerves :/ I just feel like the pressure is on! Had a nice little heart to heart chat with my FI last night. There was a bit of yelling (lol) but in the end we both realized its just the pressure of putting together this wedding that has us on edge. Im anxious for wedding day, not only because i want to be his Mrs already (yay!) but also because like you guys said, after this, no more wedding planning!! (super yay!!!) :)
