I didn't think I'd be the bride who got overly stressed about the wedding but here we are!
For those of you who don't know, one of my bridesmaids is getting married in June and I'm in her wedding. So naturally, most of my wedding attention is going towards helping her right now, mine's kind of on the back burner. Now since we're getting married in our hometown, I've also got appointments regarding my wedding during the day but I've reassured her I can help out in the evenings with anything - no problem! The problem starts with my mom, who's warning me to not burn out because of how busy I'll be but I feel like I'll be fine. She then tells me to not forget about my own wedding and how I still have stuff to do for it, which I'm aware of but it can wait until my friend's wedding is over.
My mom is also gone into full shower-planning mode and it's like it consumed her soul. I'm also the type of person who doesn't necessarily want a shower, but I know better than to argue that with my mom. So, I'm letting it happen although I'm not too pleased about it and half my bridal party won't be able to go. She also wants to keep parts of it a surprise, which I don't mind but she keeps hinting at things to me - now that bothers me! It's also all she wants to talk about, even though my mind is nowhere near focused on that.
I keep telling her we can talk about it after my friend's wedding but she flips and says stuff like "what do you even need to do for it?" "It's not like it's your wedding, so calm down." Meanwhile, she turns around and complains that my bridesmaids aren't doing enough for me, even though none of us live in the same city, and they are busy with their lives. I feel so frustrated with her, that I don't want the fuss of the shower but I know she'll still go through with it.
We're also busy with house renos (me and my FH) and he's more focused on that right now but it's stressing me out. We wants to get a bulk of it done before we go to London in June so we don't have to worry about it the rest of the summer/can enjoy our summer, but it's been constant renos! There's a lot of small things going on in my life too that all together, with house renos and wedding planning, has caused a lot of tense emotions for me! I'm not overly stressed until my mom mentions something about the wedding or my FH is renovating while I'm trying to de-stress and then I break down!
I feel like I needed to vent hard about the last little while, you guys are good listeners/online readers lol
