Thank you Becky. It is really nice having people who understand a bit of the stress im carrying.

Hi Taylor!

I am also an October 2020 bride!

We have some similar issues. My FH's mother has made everything very difficult for us, my Matron of Honour lives in a different province, my Mom passed on 12 years ago and most of my wedding party is made up of my children from my first marriage. So, needless to say, I do know how you feel with doing all the planning alone.

We can support each other in this! I'm here to help - even if it's just to chat (or vent).

Hi Taylor, I am sorry you guys are going threw a lot with his family. Any questions you have and any support you need, we are here to help and give you advice. We are going to support you the whole way through of planning. Don't ever feel like you can't vent or talk to us! Post as much as you need on here and we will all try to help you best we can.

Thank you for your support Casey

Any of us would love to assist you! That is the amazing thing about Wedding Wire! I am also doing a good chunk of the planning alone, but that’s just who I am! As for your FH mine is the same. He didn’t want the big wedding, he wanted to go away, but this was something I wanted and he agreed to do it for me in return for a long honeymoon lol. Many guys just aren’t planners. They just want to know when and where they have to be! So you are not alone in that!
Post on here as much as you want to in order to get the help you need! You can also message anyone on Wedding Wire if they have offered you help!

Thank you. I guess I may be feeling overwhelmed by seeing all these wedding shows ive gotten addicted to. I feel I have to bring the wow factor and spend a million dollars. In reality I just want something simple with my loved ones. Its harder when you dont have a huge support system. The only person who has been putting any effort in is my MOH but even then we arnt going out and looking at stuff because shes busy with school. I do appreciate the support and kind words from you.

You're not alone when it comes to planning the whole day out. It seems most husbands don't want to face the music when the word "wedding" comes up. The other thing I can understand is his autism not coming across easily and they don't handle some situations well.

we are here to help and guide you in any way possible to make you feel less stressed and on budget. Do ask anything from this community and you will get whole lot of support.

Our wedding was small too based on 72 guests at a Conference Centre keeping the cost under $20K. The concept was modern & elegance. Simple décor that was rented for most part.

Thank you for your support. It means alot

I would love to help! I planned my entire wedding by myself as well and it was definitely a lot of work but I had fun with it. I totally understand where you're coming from though, especially the shopping stuff. You shouldnt be doing that alone. Our wedding was small and intimate, we had about 50 people and it was held at a restaurant which kept cost down and we didn't need much decorating. Let me know what I can do!
