The planning is fun to an extent. I remember when I was planning my wedding before (our wedding was postponed) and I kept thinking about how much effort was involved in one single day. I found it overwhelming. I'm going to try to take it easy this time.

Planning was very fun for me even though I did not have to go to all the vendors. I would of loved to but it was not feasible living several states away (MIL went to a few we requested of her).

Also, my degree is in developing and implementing programs and/or events so I looked at as if it were that.

I wasn't overwhelmed with my first wedding because I had a year and a half to plan it. I was able to take my time and really do things little by little.

This wedding has taken so much of my time. I'm not sure what I will do after the wedding. I think about it all the time. I think it will be a relief after it all over...

I guess I got a little overwhelmed with certain little aspects. My mom, for instance, decided we needed personalized napkins with about a month to go. Now personalized napkins are great, but we were going for low budget and they aren't a necessity. Many people don't even really notice them, they wipe their nasty mouths on them and then throw them away. I would have been fine getting plain red and white napkins, but mom insisted. So we spent like $80 for personalized napkins. Mom also insisted we tie little red ribbons on the bubbles. We wound up not even using the bubbles! So that was a waste of time. I know she just wanted things to be nice, but they didn't matter to me! I gues I was more frustrated than overwhelmed. I had pretty much everything done very early. Josh proposed Dec 23, we got married July 23, but I was ready by March.. We could have gotten married on spring break!! I am just very decisive and independent and I knew what I liked and wanted. I get more overwhelmed cleaning the house than I did preparing for out wedding!! LOL I really should be a wedding planner..... Hmmm.. I'll add that to my 'one day' list!

For the most part, things are going really well but then I have moments where I don't know how I'm going to do this and I don't know how we're going to pay for everything. I know it will all turn out wonderfully but every once and awhile little things trip me up. Like, we got on a candy idea and then I added up how much it will cost just to give everyone candy and I had a moment. Every once and a while the FMIL adds a bit of stress with her fabulous ideas as well, most of them are good ideas.

I feel a little overwhelmed and its not even my wedding (my brothers wedding but im the Maid of honor and since my brothers overseas at the moment, i've been doing most of the planning w/FSIL)

The frustrating thing about planning is finding the right stuff. Like we have an idea of what we want, whether its a dress, party favor or whatever, finding it has been really tough. I think thats the tough part, also deciding whether you really like it or you just want it only cuz youre tired of searching. But other than that, the planning hasnt been too bad

I'm overwhelmed because I have SO much to do. And it really isn't me to care about things like dresses and whatnot. I wanted to get married on a beach somewhere

So I think I'm overhwelmed because I have all this wedding stuff to do- and I don't *want* to do it.

This is all on top of buying a house, working full time, school full time, and having a life all in the middle. Sometimes I just want to lay in bed and never get out.

I'm overwhelmed about all of it. I'm very picky by nature so if there is one tiny-est detail I don't like, I won't get it. So trying to find stuff for the wedding is hectic cause I always just find the one detail about something that's not what I wanted. I never went and got my driver's lisence replaced when it got stolen since I was out with FH when he was truck driving over-the-road and the DMV is about an hour away. Which means I have to wait for someone else to have the time to drive me places and there is only 1 car among the 4 of us (Me, FH, FMIL and FFIL). Then my mom thinks we have the money to have a wedding similar to a royal ball when we have a extremely tight budget and are making alot of stuff ourselves. So she keeps chewing my head off when I don't spend oodles of money on stuff she thinks I need but she is not willing to pay for. FSIL has helped out alot though. She is our florist (making the bouquet, corsages and boutineers)/1 of 2 photographers/candle designer (decorating the unity candles)/wedding coordinater (keeping me on track)/and my MOH so she is also helping me get the bridesmaids dresses and shoes.

We just got keep swimming here. It'll work out

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming....

I get overwhelmed by a lot of it. With my mom, the invites, everything. It is only 2 months away. Can't wait to be his wife.

Been there, done that. Got the T-shirt

I was not really overwhelmed planning the wedding. It was more dealing with other people's crap. Like my MOH, who caused problems. People who selected one type of meal and then wanted a different one the day of the reception.

Hey, Solar, isn't that a quote of Dory from Finding Nemo?

I love that movie, especially Dory. LOL

Mrs.Levitt · #14 01-25-2006, 02:47 AM

im not really overwhelmed at all. i love this, i could do this for a living. Its a first for me though so i have alot of questions but thanks to you ladies I dont have to fret because I can ask anything and get answers. The cost is the only thing im having issues with. Cost sucks!

Lol. I got Dory singing that in my head when I read that! Made me smile Solar

OMG I must be tired. 3 times I've typed out a huge response to this the messed it up

I've hit back by accident twice now

I was answering I was overwhelmed by bit of the above...

I didn't work on the wedding for a few months so now I feel like I've got loads to sort out. I don't really have any help with it... If I asked my mum to help she'd just try to take over all the decisions and I'd ask Moreno but unless I give him a very specific job to do he gets even more frustrated by it than I do.
