Completely regretting doing the wedding thing

Erin, on June 3, 2019 at 10:51 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 11

I love my fiance and wish we'd just eloped. My wedding is 12-days away and I am not looking forward to it. It's been too much stress, details, money and not enough help. My fiance has been perfect and a true 50-50 partner in all of this, and two people planning and creating a wedding is way too much. I've had 5 panic attacks today alone.

Haven't been looking forward to it for 8 months now. Wish we'd used the money for a hellavuh honeymoon.

Signed,

Sad, disappointed, and just wanting it over so life can go back to normal.

    It will be okay.
    with family drama right now we are thinking the same thing and we are 3 months out. But I pray to God and put it in his hands!

    At this point, it sounds like you need a moment to yourself. I would love to tell you that you could do what you want, but 12 days out means at best you've lost a few deposits, and at worst you've messed up some people's travel plans.

    Maybe its just your nerves getting to you, and you'll be happy when you're in the moment. However, I suggest handing the reigns over to someone else, and giving yourself the space to breathe. Better you pay someone else to stress about your wedding day than spend it miserable and end up regretting it.

    Aw I know planning can be overwhelming. Take breaks when you need for your sanity and to compose yourself. The wedding is upon you and I know you dread it due to the planning process jading you but I'm sure you planned a wonderful wedding. Have faith that things will all come together Smiley smile

    I'm so sorry you're not looking forward to your own wedding! Remember to take a few steps back to relax and take care of yourself. Anxiety is no joke! Stay strong, and I hope your wedding turns out better than you imagined Smiley heart

    I know how you feel! I've been having trouble figuring out where I'm going to put the tables. And I've been comparing my decor and what I've planned to other wedding pics I've seen and feeling like my wedding won't be as nice. I'm sure the day of I won't care about any of that except for marrying my fiancé and hanging out with people that love us.

    I’m so sorry you feel overwhelmed and not looking forward to your day Smiley sad Try to remember that no matter how much you plan and prepare there is most likely going to be some hiccups. At the end of the day you will be married to the one you love and that’s why you’re doing this madness right!? Maybe you two should take one long day of no planning talk and just enjoy each other if at all possible before the big day.

    I have been in this space for a few months now. We’re 18 days away and I’m absolutely panicked at how much we have to do on top of 4 jobs, 2 kids, several pets and having to clean the whole house and rearrange sleeping arrangements to host my brothers family. And I’m behind on everything and have zero help lol.
    Hugs! We’re almost there! It will be a magical day then it will be OVER! Fh owes me 501 honeymoons now (it’s our joke since he wanted the big fancy wedding lol.)

    I'm sorry! I think the day of you'll feel relieved and happy. Planning sucks! We're all subject to feeling this way.
    We're rooting for you to have a good time ❤️

    Your life will go back to normal! Try to remember that it's just a party. A celebration of your marriage. It is not a make or break event. Focus on the love and not the decor, food, timeline, if that helps.

    I felt very similar leading up to my wedding. My husband wanted the whole wedding thing, I just wanted to elope. Try and enjoy it. Honestly, my wedding was not the best day of my life. I don't like being center of attention, I hated everyone staring at me and me feeling like they were watching my every move. But it was fun. and once I accepted that it made my husband happy to do it and he can look back on that day with fond memories, I got over some of the disappointments of it not being the day I wanted. And remember, once it is said and done, you will be married and can enjoy living a normal life again!
