Just a vent

I know most of you don't know me, I almost never post. But I just wanted to know if it was normal to feel like youre being ripped apart by this whole wedding process. I feel like every single decision i make hurts someone's feelings. Everyone feels excluded. And everyone wants to *****!

My parents are divorced so any time both of their names come up it's eye rolls and sighs. It just sucks. This is supposed to be all about 'us' but it seems like everyone has their own damned agenda!!!!

(Thanks for reading!)

A lot of girls have, unfortunately, felt this way at one point or another during the process.

The day is worth all of the stress and frustration. It's just a shame that people show their true colors during what should be a very happy and fun time.

But it'll all be worth it. You and the FH will have the time of your lives!

totally normal.....


youll get to the point where you just nod your head at everyone opinions, and then you might scream in your head. but it happens to everyone. it is your wedding, but everyone likes to give OPINIONS, and thats all it is...

Sorry to hear about the stress

it's normal.

Just do what you want, trust me.

*not to self: be a good StepMom when your girls get married!

Thanks guys! I am trying to do the nod and smile thing. But i am SO NOT the nod and smile type! LOL

I just told someone that if i have to give any advice about wedding planning it is simply 'do what you want FIRST then TELL everyone!' opening yourself up for opinions is not a good idea (esp since you'll get them anyway!).

This is exactly what I lived by. And even then, sometimes I didn't tell anyone.

Unless I was unsure about something, then I came on here to gain opinions or weigh out pros and cons with other people who are doing the same damn thing...planning a wedding. People who know about this stuff and have recent experience.

there have definitely been times when I have felt like this, sometimes I feel like I even put my own feelings aside to make other happy (which I'm sure I will end up regretting). I know in the end that none of this is important and once this day comes and goes FH and I will be able to enjoy our lives together without all of this nonsense. hang in there

It's totally normal.
That's why it's good to come on here and vent and vent and vent. Wedding planning is stressful in the most ideal situations. You throw some other stuff in the mix and it's a nightmare.
