worried

My wedding is 9 months away but I`m feeling really demotivated with the whole thing and I don`t know why. It started when there was a mess up with the wedding venue booking - which has been sorted now but was our first bit of 'stress'

Then there is my MIL. She is really lovely and means well but has been intefering and wants to be involved in everything. - so much so we have changed the way in which we are doing our wedding to suit her and we've had arguments etc over everything....it has left my OH saying he wishes we were getting married without family.

My main worry is that I have dress wobbles. When I ordered the dress it all happened so fast without me going away to think about it, I paid the deposit (50%) BUT whilst I`ve been dress shopping for my CB (she's getting married quite soon after me) I have seen so many dresses I love and I`m worried that I don`t love everything about my dress which is on order.

I know none of the above is life threatening and I`m sure others are in a similar situation but I`m just feeling the need to rant. Sorry! Just want my wedding Mojo back and want to love my dress again! ?

I went back a month after buying it and when I put it on I loved it again, I`ve just got a massive niggle in my mind and everytime I see a pic of the dress I think hmmmm. I`m probably being silly - as my Mum keeps telling me - but there is some niggle in my mind!

Yeah! It does make sense. ? It could be that, I don`t know.

I just hope when my dress arrives in store and I see it again in my size it helps me to get excited...I just feel fed up about it all. (Apart from the actual being married to my OH - that excites me lots still!) Thanks KaraKat

Your wedding should be about you and your partner, and what you want, not what other people think you should have, regardless of any financial input they may or may not be having.

If you aren't happy with the things you have changed to suit your FMIL, then tell her that you've changed your mind and go with the things you both want. I'm sure she'll whine, but she needs to realise whose day it is - and here's a clue, it's not hers.

The thing I have found whilst doing my own wedding planning is, do what is best for you and your other half because it is your day and if you don't have it the way you both want it you will have a niggle in the back of your mind forever of how it would be!

I have had no end of people (like most B2B I imagine) telling me what I should and shouldn't have, from dress to flowers. Then down to little details like table decorations and at first I was letting everyone have their say and going along with them and then I realised that it was my wedding and my day and although I love to hear what everyone thinks at the end of the day I am going to do it my way!
I enjoy the planning so much more now as it is personal to me.

Please do what is best for you and your OH and then your day will be so so special! Good Luck x

Thanks everyone, feeling much more positive and putting the dress to the back of my mind until it arrives in the shop in January x
