Trying to find the 'perfect' veil and trying to decide how I wanted to wear my hair. Stupid small stress in the big scheme of things, but still bothersome. I wound up getting the veil the day before my wedding.

ok, mainly my mil. we had no issues with any vendors. but my mil had a question about everything. and claims she was too worried to enjoy the wedding. BUT, if you watch the video, she is up dancing her azz off.

picking the hall, picking my dress were my two biggest stressful choices with the wedding.

my SIL - a thorn in my side since day one
my FMIL - a thorn in my side since the DAY we booked the hall
my brother who originally said 'no' to being a GM... ***?!
(so that can be narrowed down to family)
other than that, i'd say having to plan the wedding by myself... DH didn't lift a pinky or make any decisions... people can say then there was nothing to fight over, but doing EVERYTHING on your own can be stressful... and hurtful, being that it's OUR day.
oh, and deciding how to wear my makeup - i had troubles there.

My dress coming in ruined and ripped underneath....and going between the designer & the salon and neither would take the blame

The other biggest stress was my MOH and one of my BMs. They did nothing for me except complain & lie to me. It would have been a lot less stress if they both would have just said that the responsibility was too much of a financial and/or time burden.

Everything having to do with the invitations..the guest list, gathering addreses, choosing the invitations, the wording, ordering them through a friend of a family friend and having problems, RSVPs, the seating chart and making the master list for the WM and being like one number off 20 times in a row the week of our wedding...SO GLAD that is all over and done with!

Me too. My BM's & MOH, out of 6 girls, only 1 didnt complain. They were 2 piece, ad they HATED the skirt I originally picked out. They threatened that if I didnt change the skirt [my FH, now DH's EVIL SISTERS were gunna change their dress after they enter the reception!!!!!!!!!!!!] not to mention, THEY JUST HADDDDDDDDDD to complain about the gloves, because why? It was summer. Who cares, it added so much more elegance to it! And I only made them wear it for entrances & pix! What a saga! That was probably the most stressful-hair ripping thing about the whole planning . . .

1) picking invitations while trying to stay within budget....there are so many cheesy invites out there...I was very picky and wanted something classic and pretty without breaking the bank!

2) DH's dad's illness and not knowing if we'd even have a wedding or what...he ended up dying just 8 days before our wedding. The wedding went on as he wanted it to - those were his last wishes! It was a difficult and stressful time planning a wedding during a time of sadness that you are watching a loved one slowly get sicker and sicker.

Re: What would you say the BIGGEST stress was during your planning process???

I'd have to say the RSVPS caused me the most stress, dealing with people up to the last moment gave me cause for great anxiety going into the seat chart planning and head counting for the money. And in the end, 10 people didn't show up for the wedding.
