Wedding Woes

Lonely Bride.. does anyone feel similar?

Hi there, new to this but looked up forums where brides can come together and share experiences and advice and came across this. So I’m getting married in Nov and so excited since it’ll be here before you know it. My fiancé has been great through the planning process but I’m a little bummed that I don’t really have anyone to talk to about the other things like accessorizing my wedding dress or what outfits to wear during the bachelorette party or hair/make up.. basically the girly details. 

I can’t help but feel so alone. My MOH is my sister but I feel she’s too busy with her personal life to be there for me in that way. My mom and I just have different opinions on things so I’ve tried to talk to her and she’ll listen but also it’s not exactly the same as having a girlfriend to chat about which swimwear and cover ups I should buy for Bach. My bff currently lives outside of the state and we’ve really grown apart over the years. She now has 2 really small children and 2 other kids from her guy’s first 2 marriages.. so she’s really occupied with that. I can’t help but feel alone and like a loser. Idk what to do bc it just really feels like I don’t have anyone to talk to about these kinds of things. 

If you made it through this little rant I appreciate you taking the time to hear me. I haven’t been able to express this to anyone. Does anyone feel the same? Any advice on how to improve this?

  • The challenge is the movie in your head about what it's "suppose to be like" and the reality of your life aren't lining up.  And that's okay!!!  Growing up we're shown all these images and movies about "the perfect moment" and everyone swooning and gushing over the bride, and the reality is, that's to sell magazines and movies.  Life is not a photoshoot - it's about living and enjoying the moment as it is!

    When it comes to Bach outfits, it really depends on what is being planned for you.  Don't get caught up in matchy-matchy because individuals are just that - individuals.  What you love on you may be the last thing someone else attending prefers to wear.
