How to deal with stress the week of the wedding!

I’m a giant ball of stress. It’s the week of the wedding and, of course, everything has not been going like I had planned. First, my only bridesmaid backed out of the wedding two weeks before the wedding. Found someone else. That same week I had family issues with my dad (who I do not have contact with). This week I have dealt with having to find another DJ because the one I had booked has not met with me and here we are at the week of the wedding and still haven’t heard from him. Family problems on my fiancés side. Oh and people complaining that they didn’t get an invitation when I know I sent them one. HOW do you deal with the stress the week of the wedding?? I was so so excited and now it seems like everything has blown up in my face the past two weeks making me beyond stressed. Oh AND on top of all the other stress, I am a senior in college going through the toughest semester yet. Y’all pray for me and give me some advice on how to handle this stress please!! Thanks!

Oh! I’m so sorry it’s so stressful! I really wish I could take you out for coffee and just help you relax or something 😂❤️
Anyway, I recommend going on a date with your fiancé. Have fun with some friends. Take a deep breath. Practice some yoga. What makes you calm and lose focus on everything else? For me, I love to bake and baking distracts me from my problems 😂. Do whatever will help you NOT think about the wedding. There’s not much you can change now. Just roll with it. Listen to some fun music 😜

Deep breaths Katelyn!! You're so close to the wedding - it'll all be over soon!
I'd delegate as much as you can and have your mom or your bridesmaids or people you trust help run interference and answer questions from the rest of your guests! Like Kristine said - try to do some de-stressing activities and make sure to take care of yourself!

First, take some time for yourself. I got a massage the week of my wedding and it makes a difference. Second, delegate. Do you have a wedding planner or day of coordinator? It's their job to be putting out these fires. If not, who's your number two (after your FS)? Ask mom or your bridesmaid or hire someone to help deal with your vendors. You don't want to be stressed on your wedding day. Third, don't feed the drama. It takes two to fight and if you simply choose not to participate then you'll cut a lot of toxicity out of your life. Fourth, lean on your FS. That's what they're there for! Plan some time alone leading up to the big day and vent to them. They'll understand your family drama and wedding stress better than anyone and be able to support you more than any of us can. Finally, let it go. Your wedding day may not be perfect, but it'll still be the day you get to marry the love of your life so let all the other stuff go and enjoy all the excitement you feel this week.
