Hello.
I just thought I'd share this post with you all as it's coming to 4 months until the big day. We've booked all the important bits, the invites are ready to go out in a few months. I still need to make wedding programs, decoration, seating plan, diy props for the polaroid guestbook station, decorations for the center pieces, place cards, diy ipod playlist, arrange make up trial and fitting, etc. I've been putting the invites together for the last three weeks, every night after work and every weekend. I'm starting to feel stressed. My FI is so laid back he doesn't understand why I'm overwhelmed. He just chills out on the playstation most of the time or paints his games workshop figurines. He's promised he'll look at the honeymoon hotels but still hasn't done it. I asked him to look into things like the wedding car and hiring some disco lights but he hasn't done any of that. I had to research and book the wedding car myself in the end.
Just a couple of weeks ago it was FI's mum's 60th birthday and he wasn't planning anything so I got a card, flowers and a pretty necklace and booked a suprise meal at jamie's italian whilst making all the invites and other wedding related stuff. I let him chill out and do his own stuff.
This weekend I had had enough and asked him for help only to find him snappying back at me. Am I asking for too much?!
I've been sorting everything else out myself, no help from parents or bridesmaids. My four bms have a lot on themselves and I have asked them for help. They are too busy with their own stuff which is understandable. Does your FI help out?
Thanks for listening x
