$#!@ ‘s getting out of hand!

Oh goodness! I m usually so indecisive so I feared this would be me wedding plan but suprisingly I've been pretty good. But I ll get into a tizzy about the smallest detail that nobody will notice but me, right now its bathroom baskets. How many dresses do you plan on keeping? Don't worry though it ll come together and it ll be beautiful!

Lol - I can’t say I can relate about the rings & dresses but definitely have been over planning 😆 so i understand! Will you have the opportunity to wear all 4 ???

View Quoted Comment I’m not sure how many of the dresses I will keep, but I am going to keep all three rings LOL
The weird part is, I am an incredibly decisive person. Unfortunately, I just keep being decisive about more and more things 😂

Weddings make us do "interesting" things its totally not your fault just keep buying all the sparkly things . Seriously though hopefully you can finalize your dress situation soon, do you like all the dresses or are you having trouble finding one you love?

View Quoted Comment Oh goodness no. I am all about a dress change, but 4 dresses is just beyond extra LOL My guests would think they stumbled into a one-woman wedding fashion show 😂

Wow, I can’t even find one dress! But I feel you. My wedding got out of control really quickly, when I realized how big it would have to be. My FW has a huge family and they like to throw a good party. From there, it’s only gotten wilder. I think to myself every day, “One time I was nice to this girl and now I’m spending $xxx on shoes to wear when I marry her.”

Wedding planning is SO stressful, We got married almost 3 months ago and I still can’t believe I made it out the other side alive lol. I was pretty laid back, or at least tried to be, but even the most laid back brides have a ton of decisions to make! But, take it from me. It’s SO true what they say. The day really does go by so fast. My mother in law and her best friend spent a solid year working on the decor (they love that stuff and it was one less thing I had to worry about), and unfortunately I didn’t even get to see half of it. If it weren’t for pictures of it, I wouldn’t have seen it at all! We did the bathroom baskets, but I honestly couldn’t tell you if anyone even used them. My advice, don’t stress yourself over the small details. You probably won’t even notice if they’re there or not day of!

View Quoted Comment Huge families can definitely escalate things quickly with weddings! Lol But they sound like they like to have a good time, so I’m sure your wedding is going to be a blast!

View Quoted Comment No, no stress at all. I just keep going bigger, better, more expensive 😆 I Think part of it has to do with the fact we had to reschedule twice. Planning went from two years to four years. And I think maybe I’ve just had way too much time to keep adding things on. We’ve almost hit our 100 day mark though, so this madness will be over soon! haha

View Quoted Comment Oh it for sure will be!

Sounds to me like instead of a dress change you should do an all bridal photo shoot before the wedding to decide which dress to wear and keep lol.

But to make you feel more normal, I have multiple wedding rings that I switch out based on how I feel for the day. I have on that I wear regularly and a few I wear for extra sparkle.

Yeah we started our small and financially have gone overboard. Now we can’t pay it! We’ll be credit carding it and paying whatever we get money wise at the wedding (we asked for money, it’s not a big deal to our families) and using that to pay off a chunk of what’s left but we’ll still have a few thousand dollars in debt 😅

I'm not far behind lol, I ended up purchasing three dresses! My original one, and then once we postponed in 2020, I decided I wanted a different style, so I bought another one that I kinda liked and kinda didn't (it had some aspects that I LOVED, and it was on a really good sale, so I talked myself into it), and then had dress regret on that, and then finally bought my third dress. Third time's the charm, because I LOVE this one!! I'm going to end up wearing the original one for the ceremony only, and the third one for everything else (first look, entire reception, etc). I'm working on trying to sell the second one. I think that's the only thing I've really gone overboard on though, I never thought I'd end up with three dresses!

It was really relaxed at first and i was trying to keep it simple and then certain things at some point i realized there was a lot going on

Our floral & décor proposal MIGHT have escalated a bit 😅

That was probably the top thing on my list, so I knew it would be a lot, but there were a lot of "well I could just add this one thing..." and that added up lol

Lol good luck. Are you going to wear all of your dresses. Just keep all receipts.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much for sharing that! I am glad I am not alone on the multiple rings thing LOL We had to reschedule twice, so I joke with FH that it is one ring for each date 😆 I do like the idea of being able to switch them out though, and have different looks based on where you’re going, what you’re wearing, how you’re feeling, etc. So did you have your husband put each ring on your finger during your ceremony?

View Quoted Comment Haha! So glad I am not alone on this! I don’t know what it is about wedding planning, but it’s just so easy to add little things here and there, upgrade this and that, etc. until suddenly you realize your budget has just increased tens of thousands of dollars 🫣
We are also credit carding a few things. I actually got a new credit card just for the wedding which allows us to earn points towards our flights, so at least we are benefiting from using them. I know people say never go into credit card debt for a wedding, but hey, it’s a once in a lifetime experience! 🤷🏼‍♀️

View Quoted Comment I’m pretty sure postponements are to blame for going overboard! 😆 There’s just too much time to think, look at more things, and reconsider items you’ve already decided on 🤦🏼‍♀️

View Quoted Comment I completely feel you on little things adding up! It’s so easy to add little things, upgrade here and there, until suddenly you realize things have gotten out of control 😆
