What's stressing you out right now?

The budget. I'm so worried that we will have a homeowner emergency that will make money super tight.

Chere-Lee...I got it! Good choice...that she wasn't involved in all preparation! You are both grown people, so that's not a big deal! In the end it is your day!

When you have relatives like that...it is better to live far away from them

Not to be next door!

View quoted message Sorry for the confusion.
My FH's family, including his Mom, are all invited to the wedding.
We recently attended her birthday party because I will do anything to make my FH happy. She wasn't included in any of the planning or the dress shopping because she chose not to be.The wedding planning has been easy compared to all the drama she has caused.I agree, she has some kind of mental health issue and I grin and bare it for my FH. However, it's been the biggest stress we have had.

Cherie-Lee...That all sounds a very sad story! I didn't understand the end of it! You did not invited your future husband mother in law, because she was not showing interest...

I really feel sad, when there is problems like that in families. And to be in bad relation ship with your mother in law, definitely is not a positive thing. Definitely it s difficult to comment, only you know, why that mother in law is doing what she is doing. Maybe she have some mental problems, and you just need not to take personal, when she do strange things.

My advice is...when you both will be ready...make peace with your husband family. And after keep neutral relationship. Meeting only for special events. You dont want, that one day your husband blame you of bad relationship with his family.

My narcissistic future Mother-in-law has been the biggest stress throughout all of our wedding planning.

My FH and I unfortunately lost a son November 11, 2017. We had politely requested to take a break from family events for a period of time - especially since his brother's fiance had a baby the following month and we were just having difficulty.

My future Mother-in-law created a huge amount of drama over it. Told us if we just saw her new granddaughter we would fall in love with her and all will be well. Then she proceeded to spread untrue rumours about us - that we were avoiding the baby and that we hated his brother's fiance. It got to the point that his brother got married in May and we weren't invited. His brother refused to stand in our wedding as best man and just within the last couple weeks, his Uncle (her brother) has stepped down from best man as well. So, our wedding party consists of my 4 daughters, my best friend and my Uncle. My heart breaks so much from my FH. Especially since he wanted the extravagant wedding to make his mother happy.

She has not shown any interest in being part of any of it. She had coffee with him a couple weeks ago saying she wanted to discuss the wedding and in actuality all she asked was whether her and her husband were invited.

Unfortunately we have non-refundable deposits paid. He keeps saying if he had the time back we would have just eloped because its been so ridiculous.

Being that my own Mom passed on 12 years ago, I would have loved to have my future Mother-in-law included, but she not only has shown no interest, but has caused a whole lot of drama and grief to what should be the happiest time of her son's life.

I started my wedding planning, 1 month ago. But we booked the place for wedding this last summer in June. So I had picture of place and how it all will look. When I started to think about decorations and photographer, videographer, I felt stress. Since I dont want to pay money for wedding organization, that put me in a lot of stress. So finally I found two girls, students, who work as a wedding day of coordinators. So, that was first thing which made my stress go away. Also, I already found amazing person, who have company of photography and vidéographie, and his passion is DJ. So he will take care of all that with his team at the wedding day. Also, I visit 2 different wedding rentals. And one of them are super good. So I order a lot of decors from them, so will need to buy only few extra decors myself. Our wedding ceremony will be at the same place, where will be supper. So it makes things easy. Also, it will be in old English private club, where they have there own staff. Cook, waiters,dishes, tables, beautiful wedding chairs. I only need to do few more things. Dress, I will buy only next year, since my body will change till next year. Now looking for cake. Have second tasting of our evening menu soon. And after tat will make my invitations and menu ( on vista print ). Flowers at the wedding will not be problem. They all will be silk. Even my bouquet and butaniers.

Since I know mostly everything the way it will look, and all main things are booked. It took away my stress. But I will have some stress 1-2 weeks before wedding for sure.

That I still have three months before I will know what my body looks and feels like postpartum, and it might drastically change what I am able to wear for our wedding! I need everything concrete, despite being almost two years away!

Super glad I'm not the only one stressed to the max right now!

Basically everything, at this point, try to keep positive vibes throughout the next 2 weeks. My MOH is really going through it (of no fault of her own) and I'm finding it hard to deal/stay happy about my wedding knowing she's depressed.

Waiting for photos to come back.

It's only been 3 weeks, so I know I'm gonna wait a little while longer. Just sucks to have to remind family to chill and wait too.

Husbands decision madness at the time when things were being taken care of and all i heard was his aggrevation towards the whole budget spending. Also my parents/brother dictating what was to take place and not take place.

Definitely money - I’m about to complete my MSc of Physiotherapy in December. And as ignorant that was not stressful enough, these wedding prices I’ve been receiving for things like a wedding planner, florist, and decor are so expensive. I’m going to have to work extremely hard to save up for this wedding and a year and a half away no longer seems like a long time to do that.


Also my FH wants us to get a house so we’ve been saving for that as well. Too make things even more stressful one of my MOH has gone MIA and isn’t talking to me because she wasn’t there when I chose my dress. Soooo seems like the season of stress right now 😭

Wedding dress shopping. I want a dress that is out of my budget

There's a couple things. Mostly money, I'm trying to pay off my credit card at the same time trying to save for the wedding (it's been challenging). But my FH and I are starting a new business making custom tables. So we're hoping that takes off and that'll help with the wedding.

Second would be in laws (well just my soon to be mother in law). my FH got into a big argument with her in July and they haven't spoken since. She said a lot of mean things about him to his face and then she also said stuff about me (basically she doesn't like me). But she never really made an effort to get to know me and we've been together for more than two years.

We usually do thanksgiving at her place and now it's a week away and we haven't heard from her. I'm thinking we're not invited. So I don't know if she'll actually come to our wedding.

We were also worried how his sister would feel after the argument because she is really close with his mom. But his sister is fine. She came to try on bridesmaid dresses and it wasn't awkward. And she invited us to her birthday. It's just his mom that has issues with us. It's been very stressful for my fiance.

Probably money - we're trying to save and buy a house before the wedding, which will leave us pretty strapped. I'm almost considering moving jobs.. soooo that would be an additional stress too.

Just about everything tbh. Mostly money and getting our last RSVPs in. Overall though I’m just incredibly stressed.

Lol oh dear. there are a few things. Our wedding is just around the corner, and it is mainly the fact that i have a feeling certain people will be taking over the photographer... and thinking its a family photoshoot instead of our wedding. I am trying to keep my cool lol... we will see how Friday goes

Seems to be a theme on Wedding Wire right now, eh? lol

At this moment in time the only thing I'm stressed about is getting the name place cards done and even then I'm not apposed to having everybody except immediate family find their own spots
