I hear ya....I feel like it is a lot of outside stuff that gets to be too much... everyone elses' input and 'suggestions.'
Yes, the whole wedding planning process is very stressfull. Especially when money isn't exactly growing on trees. But I agree that just trying to stay organized and reminding yourself that this is all fun stuff instead of a chore helps a lot.

I totally agree...but it will be worth it in the end :)
yeah, there are so many times i keep wondering if all this stress, work, time, money and effort is worth it. and then i realize it's worth it because it means something to you. despite all this, i think it's worth it.
every single day lol.....

We've all been there, trust me it gets better. The best thing you can do, if you can, is to take a break from wedding planning for a few weeks or a month. Just focus on other things going on in your life and when it's time to start wedding planning again you'll feel refreshed and not as overwhelmed. Even just taking one weekend where you don't do anything wedding related can really make a big difference on your level of stress.![]()

TOTALLY TRUE!!!! u have so much time - so take a break away from it all! FH and i waited almost two months to even start planning - we just enjoyed being engaged & taking it all inTake a break away and forget about all the 'stuff' that really in the end is all BS anyway! ENJOY this time...because it passes all too quickly! I remember a WEEK 1/2 before our wedding when it was mayhem, my whole family was going away for thanksgiving and i was so bummed because i had so much stuff to do...my mom told me; 'Just come...all that stuff will work itself out'...best advice ever! it was incredible to just get away with family and not worry about a thing! i forbid myself to bring one wedding related item with me lol. and it was fabulous! ...and when i got back, 'everything worked itself out'. ANYWAYS, all the best & happy planning for the rest of it all!
Yeah I remember a bunch of times wishing I could elope because of $$$ and stupid people annoying me with planning stuff, but looking back, it was so worth it!!! I loved my wedding and the memories are priceless to me. I'd never give that up!!! Stick with it, you won't regret it.
I think everyone has dozens of 'its easier to elope' moments, but I still want my traditional wedding!
Trust me, you are definetly not alone in that one. I have my days where I want to run away and elope. But I know that the minute that I walk down that isle and see my FH and see the look on his face that it willmake all of the sleepless nights worth it.
