Looking for someone to talk to about weddings...

Congrats on the engagement!! If you ever want to chat about your wedding I would love to hear! Feel free to DM when ever you like

Wedding planning is fun, stressful and can take a toll when you don't have anywhere to turn regularly.

I have a big binder of general ideas, and I gave my fiance a very small one with just photos in it of my favourite things. Then when he has time he looks at it and puts a star beside what he likes. Sometimes we set aside an hour to have a glass of wine and flip thru his book...I have received a lot of good ideas from him and he doesn't realize it doing it that way.

You want to share. Write it down, in a journal, be fun to ready after when it's all done.

Feeling overwhelmed, take a breath for yourself and regroup, then go back at it.

Set up a regular coffee date with a friend and go over what's done, and what needs to be. Find something perfect and want to share? Take a photo and send it and they will respond when they can. Not everyone will have your enthusiasm, but it is your day so bubble away!!

Honestly im enjoying not have other peoples opinions on our wedding. my FH mom was in india just after he proposed and she ended up staying almost a year in india so we booked ALL our vendors while she was gone. she came back in nov and was like we need to start wedding planning im like were done. we booked everything in early 2019 before it got filled. we are having a summer wedding so everything goes so quick. my mom doesnt give a sh** about my wedding. when i told her we were engaged she said "oh". it sucks but i dont mind planning it just the two of us. you could also talk about stuff to your FH when things are booked. ie like i picked out our favors or the hall decor is done or something so he can still be involved but doesnt have to hear all the details. ive loved every minute of wedding planning and im so excited.

View quoted message We have yet to pick out our bands. We should be getting that done soon. There is a place I know where you can design them yourself. My engagement ring is a very simple solitaire but I'm in healthcare and rarely get to wear it. Since I can wear a wedding band I want one that'll sparkle but not get caught on gloves or residents skin. I'm so looking forward to seeing what they help me come up with.

Lol it sounds dumb, but i made this massive spreadsheet on google sheets. It's 17 pages. LOL I adore the organization of it all. Plus I just picked out my wedding band, that took a really long time to find the perfect one and now that I have finally found it, it feels great!

I would love to also talk with anyone about wedding stuff. My bridesmaids are spread out through 3 provinces, I have 2 in town with me, but one is always busy with work or her life (which I get) & the other one says she isn't girly enough to talk weddings (she's happy to be in it, just doesn't really wanna talk lots about it, unless she brings it up). My family is all out East, so I'm missing that planning with them beside me,

Congratulations on your engagement! What is making you the most excited right now? You can DM me anytime. I love wedding stuff.

I have just messaged you we have the same wedding date!

Awwww. Of course! Wedding planning is exciting and stressful for most part. I can also understand from your fiancé about not wanting to have wedding talk everyday for the next 10 months lol. Feel free to reach out

If you ever want someone to talk to about wedding ideas, hit me up! I really love talking about all of this wedding stuff. Plus not gonna lie, could use a girlfriend to talk to...

Always happy to chat and make a new friend like Tori said please feel free to share your excitement, news, rants here with us or feel free to message me directly. I usually check wedding wire at the end of my day or on my lunch break at work

Oh yes I wish I had more people to talk to about wedding planning! My moh and bridesmaid are both going through wedding envy; one because she and her spouse called off their engagement, and the other because she wishes she would have been engaged or married at this point in her life. My fiance is not big into the wedding planning or talk, so we don't talk about much unless there's important decisions to be made. There's also my mom and sister, but there's only so much wedding talk they can handle, and I only talk to them every once in a while. This community is a great way for me to get some of it out of my system.

I like your advice about picking a time once a week to update FH. That is a fantastic idea and I'm going to do that. I know he would appreciate less talk lol.

Say whatever is on your mind to us and we always hear each other out. Planning alone isn't as easy though its a lot on us to take on all the tasks and costs.

Family isn't as easy either since they feel their agenda or personal views can clash with our vision. All the overload of things said and done don't feel satisfying to them as it is to us. Just take it one day at a time and do what you do.

Your MOH and FH are busy too and would love to hear your plans for the wedding. I went through the same about wedding talk and drove my husband crazy, lay back and have some time of the weekend to give an update to your FH knowing what's completed and views of what he may like of the ideas provided.

That's what we are here for! Whenever you have news, questions, need opinions, or just need to rant you can come on here to make a discussion and do just that! If it's ever more personal then feel free to DM me Congrats on the engagement!
