All the time! I don't want to make anymore decisions I just want someone to come in and finish the process lol.
Of course!! The budget makes me want to throw up sometimes. Last week I had a few days of, ok this is going well things are on track. And then something else came up and its like, bye money i enjoyed you for a whole second. And then I want to take a nap.

Trust me when I say you are not alone!!!! I was like that all of last week. FH is so happy that I am my old self again. Poor guy, lilttle does he know I am sure next week I will be stressed out again. Lol
Agree with all this. The budget is the only thing that actually makes me not excited and just want to run off and elope! It ends up getting brought up in every conversation that FH and I have and it ruins all the fun in this! I can't wait to the budget anxiety to go away!
I am totally with you. So when we originally picked the place and set the date my job was secure even though I was a leave replacement. It was pretty guaranteed that they had a place for me for the following school year. Well by April I was told there is no place although they are trying. They recommended I start looking for other positions. Well that is when the stress set in. We booked an expensive location, still had vendors to book. I was a bit crazed. I just signed paperwork last week for a position in a new school district, but now I am stressing to get everything done before the school year, but do not want to lay out the money. I just want everything done so I can relax and enjoy the day (I wish I eloped)..... 6 more months
budget and money is the one thing that makes this whole thing NOT fun...
Agreed! I just started (put deposits down for DJ and photographer) and I'm already stressing out. I still have 21 months to go! lol
Because my parents are divorced and still figuring out how to split up the money to help us, we basically have them on a payment plan, which makes it REALLY difficult to book anything...I get anxious over finding a vendor and liking them, but maybe liking someone else more later. I also feel like this whole industry is SO expensive. I mean, if I told them it was a birthday party, I bet it would be like, 1/8 of the price...grr.
Unfortunatley it all comes down to business. We were able to cut down on costs just because we knew we wanted a small wedding and the time of year we are getting married has helped us a lot. Just take it one day at a time and it will all fall into place.

I think we all get caught up in the anxiety of it, but I also think it's important to take a step back and think about what you're really doing. FH makes me do this when I'm getting super stressed, and then I find myself just enjoying the fact I'm marrying my best friend in front of all our friends and family and I can't wait for it. It's easy to get caught up in the stress of planning, but thinking about what the day means helps put it all in perspective!

Just having one of those days where I want everything to be done and over with. Stressed out about the budget, which then causes me anxiety over the whole event and getting married in general.
Sigh. Tell me some of you go through this too?
Amen and ditto to all comments. You are definitely not alone in your feelings.
Of course! And as we get closer and closer to the wedding, I've been walking around in like a dream like state. Borderline denial, haha

Talk about budget anxiety, I was laid off about a month ago from my job and now it gives me more anxiety than before, hopefully things will turn around soon.
