Balancing a million weddings…

Dana, on July 28, 2023 at 1:26 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 2
I am getting married next October. It feels so far away but unfortunately due to TONS of close friends getting married in the meantime, we chose that month so we could have our own moment. Since our engagement, even more of our close friends have gotten engaged or are planning to. It feels like I’m going to have a zillion weddings next year (for people who mean a lot to me) and mine is buried in there. For anyone who has dealt with this or are dealing with this, I need your advice - how did you stay focused on planning your own wedding? How did you stop yourself from comparing your wedding/engagement to others? I am so excited to be marrying the love of my life but find myself getting caught up in everyone else’s festivities and worried mine will get lost in the sauce, lol. Thank you for any tips.

    Congrats on your engagement and how special that so many of your loved ones are going through such a special time in their lives with you. There s enough love and joy to go around for everyone. Just try to embrace it and remember comparison is a thief of joy. It can be nice to have people to share ideas with and vent about similar stresses too. In the end the most important thing to remember is you all found your person, wishing you all beautiful marriages. Cheers!

    I agree that there’s enough love and joy to go around, but make sure you’re doing what’s best for yourself and your partner in terms of time, resources, and stress. I know this is harder when you’re also asking others to invest in your upcoming nuptials, but it is okay to say no. If your friend’s wedding overlaps with the weekend you and fiancé already have multiple venue tours set up, then maybe you just make the wedding itself and not the welcome party. If you’re in their bridal party, it’s okay if you can’t attend the bachelorette. Attend what you can, but don’t stress about not being able to do everything (and don’t hold it against them if they’re also not able to).
