Planning a wedding is a lonely existence....

No one is as excited as you are. The details are numerous, so of course it is pretty much all you think about. Although one of the most important days of your life; you just want it to be done and over with. Thank GOD for my WW family/support. Can anyone else relate?

    Mine is in 2 weeks and I still have no help Smiley atonished. I chose the wrong people to be bridesmaids who are so unhelpful and don't care that I'm doing all this alone. I'm finishing my Masters, raising a 2 year old 2 dogs and a FH not to mention a ridiculously big house we don't need, but got for a steal. (I'm whining, I realize this, sorry)

    I hear ya sister! No wonder some brides become bridezillas!

    I am so glad I have found WW. I am in the same boat as most of you. Our wedding is set for Aug 16, 2014. So I hear my FH say Baby we have plenty of time or are you looking a wedding stuff AGAIN. I swear I love him but I might kill him before we make it to the wedding. LOL The other night I was talking to him and I was like oh wow. He looks at me and goes whats wrong. I said do you realize we only have 13 months left. He goes Baby thats a long time. If looks could kill. LOL God I love that man.

    But I'm so glad I can get on here and find people in the same boat as me and excited about everything wedding related. Thank you ladies of WW.

    FutureMrsHicks, I've been doing my wedding planning solo too. If they don't ask, I don't bring it up. This week a friend of mines called to discussed the bridal shower & bachelorette combo party. Yes, she wants to combine them, 2 days before the wedding. WTH, she wanted to get my opinion on it. SMH, I told her call me in December; right now I can't think about it. I've decided, I cool with doing this alone with my WW brides.

    Yup...I think my first post was titled "Nobody Cares"...LOL!

    After my first mother/daughter wedding blow up last night with my mom I have finally conveyed to her that I DO want input.

    I don't want to do this by myself.

    WW is definately a sanity saver.

    I am truly sad when I read that no one is excited or even trying to help you plan your wedding . Your MOH is not helping or excited for you. Well maybe one day we can do lunch and I will be glade to help you. I know that we are living in a time were people seem to be selfish or jealous because you have taken a step in your life and they haven't or if they have they don't have what you have and that's real love.

    Yesterday my aunt asked the "how's the wedding planning going?" Silly me, I thought she really wanted me to answer her.

    Gosh man I can relate to this as well. You definitely feel alone during the process. I'm getting married Sept 27th 2014 which is still 14 months away, but there is still more planning to be done and you have to do things when the money is available to do those things with.

    Before I was so excited when my FH proposed and I would talk about the wedding, now I keep my mouth shut. If people ask, I give them a one word response because they don't really want to hear what's on my mind about the wedding. I'm almost at the point where I only need my MOH and no other bridesmaid because the individuals that I have asked, don't even talk about the wedding. smh

    I can definitely relate to that first line!!! I feel like I'm the only person that even cares I'm getting married. I'm not trying to have weekly sit down phone conferences with my family to discuss wedding planning and progress. But a simple "how are things going?" would be great! I have two other cousins getting married, so I feel like I'm on the back burner to everyone else. Boooo.

    Monica, I've stopped answering if the rare occasion ever came up from my MOH how things were progressing. She would always put down whatever I had to say, ridicule me or make a joke of it. I'm so with you on that one.

    I agree with Amy and Amanda, as you get towards the end people get WAY more involved (primarily FMIL and mom), too much so. And apparently they're both feeling excluded. I'm sick of being stuck between the two of them (and they're very different personalities). Just want to be done and on my HM with FH.

    Haha I hate that... when someone asks me how wedding planning is going and I answer honestly.. they're all like "geez, I didn't mean to get you started" (YOU ASKED I ANSWERED).

    I agree with Amy- the closer you get the more involved people are... and it's insanity 3 months and closer. Well, it is for me anyway.

    Yup I don't even want to talk to anybody anymore about it. I constantly feel like I'm forgetting something, I can't get on my phone or Internet without looking at something wedding related. I think I'm obsessed and over it all at te same time

    I agree. If it wasn't for WW and FB people to keep me excited, I'd be lonely. LOL

    2 weeks to go and now people are like "did you get xx yet" "what are you doing for the xxxx". Oh wait now you care? I mentioned it numerous times I'm sure.

    I just can't wait till its over, a lot of peoples true colors came out. If I had it to do over, I'd elope.

    When I get down to that last few weeks and I get a rush of interested people, I will simply tell them -- I AM ALL SET. That would annoy the hell out of me.

    I know this feeling!! My FH doesn't give me a lot of ideas...he'll give me input on things I've decided on but that's about it. It's really hard to get together with my MOH and BMs because we all work such different work schedules. Ones on days, I'm on evenings, ones on nights, my MOH is in high school and training for college level volleyball...so she's gone all the time for camps and practice. I'm finding it so much easier to just do it myself then coordinate all our schedules.

    Although one of my BMs did just yell at me for not calling her to help out lmao!! She just got married last year so she knows how hard it is to do it alone.

    I'm hoping at about the 2 month mark I'll have more involvement...my BMs, mom, and FMIL will be helping with baking cookies/food so fingers crossed everything works out!!
