Maintaining relationships outside of planning

Michelle, on August 16, 2021 at 5:27 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 5

Since wedding planning has a tendency to bring out people’s darker sides when dealing with them and relationships fizzle unexpectedly, how are you keeping that from happening with fiancé, family and friends? Limiting wedding discussion or being clear about expectations? Something else entirely?

    I feel like in my situation, I let others sort of lead how much is discussed. I don’t bring it up but if they ask I just answer. I’ve also been doing a lot of the planning myself because I don’t want to burden anyone.


    My fiancé really just lets me do my thing. He doesn’t ask much. Lol

    That hasn't happened to me or my husband at all. We planned our minimony with no drama and we have our reception coming up in October with no drama. Everyone around us is happy for us and loves to talk about both!

    For me i think i was just trying my best to be understanding to everyone and in reality i felt like that made me sooooo lenient which was good in a sense because at the end of the day my bridal party have their own life and it doesn't revolve around my wedding but at the same time... i kinda felt like i was TOO lenient at times too

    I was so excited the first month it was all I talked about. But I've learned that it can take over the whole conversation so I've started to stop myself from bringing it up. It also keeps me from having to hear everyone's opinions or explaining myself. If sometime asks a question I'll answer it briefly but without going into detail. As far as planning goes, my FH and I are learning to listen and be honest with each other about what's important to each of us. He claims to not care about anything but then strangely has some strong opinions about my choices.

    I’ve never brought it up with people, but everyone is excited to go and THEY end up asking about it. We just answer and then talk other topics. As far as planning, FH basically got church, venue and then during planning he had his own vision of everything and I was all for it and went with it. My groomzilla has made it extremely easy! LOL! I’m just keeping us on task and we’ve pretty much got everything done now.
