A little perspective

I've been stressing over so many things with our wedding - being pregnant, best man and maid of honour no longer attending (long story), other guests dropping out and generally worrying about it all falling flat and going wrong

just watched an episode of say yes to the dress where the bride has breast cancer. She got a beautiful gown and had a lovely wedding on the beach. She was lovely and positive despite having a bald head. They ended the episode with a tribute to her as she passed away. She was so young. It's made me cry but also realise I shouldn't sweat the small stuff because the most important thing is that I'm marrying the love of my life and we are both in good health. Who cares that I can't wear heels or that my cat sat in my basket of paper confetti cones and squashed them all flat (yes that happened and yes I cried but I blame pregnancy hormones for over reacting)!

On another note, my sister was due to give birth a week after our wedding but went into premature labour - 9 weeks early - but both mumma and baby doing very well and now at least I know she can attend and won't be going into labour on the day!

Hi MrsG,

I know what you mean, there are so many stresses and worries to planning a wedding but sometimes we need a little perspective. I too was watching that episode and it brought me to tears.

It is natural to be stressed and want ur day to be perfect it is out one chance to bring together an event that is all about us and the love of our life.

Good luck x

That episode makes me sad too, but happy that she got to marry the man she loved. Of course we stress over the little things, but in the end its the marriage and not the wedding that means the most. Glad your sister and her little one are doing well, and lovely that you're going to have a little one too!

I attended the wedding of my best friend 2 weeks ago, she has terminal cancer and only has days left, the wedding was organised in 10 days and was beautiful and amazing, she married her partner of 16 years, she's 33 and will leave behind her new husband and 3 yr old son.

Im getting married in October and it was a huge wake up call to make me realise why I'm getting married, its not about the centrepieces, decorations or food, its because Im marrying my best friend, if only me and him turned up on the day then thats fine.

im donating my wedding dress to the wishing well charity, it provides dresses to terminally ill women so they can look beautiful on their day, I'm also having donation and favours from macmillan nurses, guests get some seeds as a favour.

and congratulations on becoming an auntie
