I’m pregnant and alone planning my wedding

So I’ve been engaged for over a year. When I got engaged the people I once considered friends all kinda just distanced themselves for me. My life was changing and I guess they couldn’t figure out how to adapt.. I don’t really know. It’s worse because I don’t really have any family, at least none that I would feel comfortable inviting let alone actually being apart of the ceremony. But now I’m six months pregnant and my wedding is four months away. Don’t get me wrong my finance’s family has been great, but I can’t help but feel like he’s family is piling up on the side of the aisle and my side is all but empty. I know I should feel grateful that I’m about to marry into such a great family but I can’t help but wish I had some family if my own to be there with me. I’m so confused as to how I’m supposed to handle all this. Am I just going crazy or what? Would appreciate the opinion of someone who’s impartial to the situation…

I wouldn’t worry about seating people on certain sides. Just let everyone sit on whatever side they want, or you could have ushers make sure people sit on both sides, so it doesn’t look uneven.
What concerns me the most about your post is the timing. You are now six months pregnant, and your wedding is in four months?! You could literally be giving birth the day of your wedding! I would highly suggest postponing the wedding until after some time has passed after the birth. Or, if you need to be married prior for insurance reasons, I would suggest just going to the courthouse and signing the papers now, then planning the celebration further in the future.

Unless that was a typo, it sounds likely there will be a newborn in the picture which sounds even more problematic.

I hope your future spouse is planning your wedding with you. That's all you really need. And I agree that there's no need to separate guests from each "side" during any part of the wedding or reception. I understand being sad about people you have lost, but I wouldn't worry about this as far as being confused how to proceed. Enjoy the rest of your wedding planning!

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this! I'm kinda going through the same thing, my fiancé is at odds with his family yet my entire family will be at our wedding, so my plan is to have ushers seat everyone everywhere to make it look good and not stress so much on a seating chart. That's at least one thing you can unload off your shoulders. Planning a wedding is beyond stressful!!! I know it has to be double stressful with a new little one coming and not being able to reach out to really anyone for emotional support. I hope it gets better for you and congratulations!

Hiii,

I would recommend postponing the wedding too since you’re having your baby so soon! You don’t want so much stress in your life. I will also elope if you’re open to that. But I’m just telling people to pick whatever seat they want for my ceremony. Why choosing sides ? Lol. My small family isn’t as involved either so I understand your feelings. I’m just trying to not overthink it and have fun while planning!
