Anyone else feel this way?(whine/vent)

I'm so overwhelmed! We've only been engaged a month, and I already feel like I'm losing my mind! I love my FH, and I'm excited about getting married, but planning this wedding really has me bummed. All we've booked is the hall. I feel such pressure to do it all ASAP, for fear of not being able to book the vendors I like, but the money is just phenomenal. I don't know how people do it. Everyone keeps telling me how stressful this next year will be, and that really makes me dread all this. How is everyone else coping? Kind words please!!

I know what you mean....being so excited, and then seeing the money factor...ugh. That was (and still is) the biggest stress-creator right now. The only thing I can say is to take it day by day, and vent whenever you need to!

I am trying to plan a little at a time, because I just don't do good under pressure. Also, I always go to my FH and talk to him about things. That always helps me a lot.

Like I said, vent whenever you need to. We are here to listen...

Re: Anyone else feel this way?(whine/vent)

I totally understand how you feel. I felt the same way when we got engaged. I didn't know where to begin and the cost is outrageous. But I just did things in intervals. We booked the hall in one month, took a couple of weeks off and did something else and so on. If you do everything at once, it just gets to overwhelming! Hang in there. You will get through this

Re: Anyone else feel this way?(whine/vent)

I agree...Take one thing at a time...don't try to book everything all at once. Tackle the areas that are most important to yo and your FH and schedule appointments with the vendors. My FH an I knew who we wanted for a photographer and video, so we booked those immediatly. we still have more to do but we are going to break it down and do one thing at a time.
Don't worry..it will all come into place...

Take a deep breath...Relax...and enjoy being engaged. Book what is most important to you and your FI. Take your time with everything. Do not think just because alot of us (me included) have alot of stuff done that you have to rush, take your time. Always remember that it is your wedding and no one elses and do what you want.

Re: Anyone else feel this way?(whine/vent)

I agree with everyone else. Don't try to do everything at once. If you do a little bit at a time, it is easier. I booked the three most important things to me first, then took a break and now just started to make appointments for the rest. Enjoy your engagement, and remember, it will all be worth it at the end!!! And vent when ever you need to-we are here to listen!
