In the final stretch and so unhappy. Anyone else?

....This is supposed to be such a great time and yet it seems like everything bad that could posibly happen is. I am starting to think that when I look back at this time all I am going to remember is the unhappiness that led up to it. I know that in the end the day will be great and it will all be worth it but some days it is hard to keep that in mind. I wish the people around me could pay a little more attention to everything I am dealing with and add some positivity instead of stress. Anyone else feel like this?

Thanks for the vent!

So sorry you feel this way. But that's why we are here!!! I have my times when I feel like that too. But just keep in mind when your walking down that aisle towards your husband it will be all worth it. That's my saving grace, just imagining walking down that aisle!!!

It will get better. I hated the week before my wedding it was horrible with so much to do, people to see, places to go, etc. Plus FH and I fought some, I was out until 9pm the night before wedding (the nail salon stayed open late for us)

Good luck!!

I hear you. I am in in-law hell right now and I don't see an end in sight.

very funny that so many of us on here have problems with the in-laws...makes me feel better that it's not just me

thank goodness my DH recognizes the problem and stands by me, and I'm willing to deal with it b/c I love him, but....does it ever make you worried about dealing with people who don't like you FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE???

dont let ANYONE get to you and take away your enjoyment of this time, too many bride 2 b's do this and it stinks. This is supposed to be a great time for you, do whatever yo can do to make yourself happy because you cant possibly make everyone else happy right? I have 34 days to go and im having a great time and i wont let anyone take that away from me. My mom passed away when i was very young and i am very close with her child hood best friend, and she always says 'the one thing i really envied about your mom was at her wedding she said no one will ruin this for me and if they try to F%$# them!!!' so that is the attitude i have taken. It will be great

FH and i are currently at war

we are both so overtired and crabby and begining to snap at each other like never before... we know it's stress, but it's not fun!

That's exactly the way I felt. But, your wedding will be wonderful! It will be a blur to you afterword, but you will remember all of the happiness of that day!

That is the good thing about LIW. You feel so often like you are the only person who feels bad and that no one will understand......and then you get these responses back and you realize you are not nuts!

Just because you are a bride does not mean that every day is sunshine and happiness (according to my single friends it must be)....and it is OK and normal for things to be rough at times....and some bad moments do not mean you and your FH's marriage will be cursed (Ok I admit I may have thought that on occasion)......

....and I will not let anyone take the happiness of that day away!

Feeling much better ladies!

Your not alone. Less than 6 weeks away, I am so stressed. I wish FH and I could just elope. I feel like we are spending so much $$$ and people aren't speaking on his side of the family, and people are speaking on mine. I feel like people think they can say whatever they want about things, but they loose sight of what it's all really about: Him and I! Ugghhh...I feel the same way though that this is a once in a lifetime thing, and I am going to look back and think about this stressful time!

It will be worth it.... I had a lot of major drama & tragedy right before my wedding & when I think about it I think about how much fun we had that day & how great it was for the poeple who were there with us.


to you
