My fiancé and I recently moved to Alabama for his job. We're getting married next year in Kansas City, Mo. (January 16th, 2022) and my entire family/bridesmaids all live on the west coast (California and Nevada). I always thought that when planning my wedding I would have my friends and family by my side, but due to the distance and my new location I seemingly have nobody. Due to Covid-19 it has been difficult to meet new people, let alone new friends! I am finding it overwhelming looking at vendor after vendor ensuring that our day comes together while I am nearly 900 miles away!! My fiancé is against the idea (and added expense) of a wedding planner as our wedding budget has very little wiggle room. He's also neutral to any and every idea offering little to no assistance or input. I get so stressed out somedays, I can only look at vendor after vendor by myself for so long... I've begun procrastinating the whole thing! It makes me really sad to think that this isn't as "fun" as people keep telling me it would be!!
Are any other brides experiencing "pre-wedding blues"? How do you handle the wedding planning stress by yourself?
