Feeling down about my wedding and wedding dress with 4 weeks to go

Awww firstly, take a few deep breaths! If the dress has been altered too much, you still have time to go back and get it fixed. But I suspect this isn't really the issue, it's the fact that your friends can't make it. Do they have good reasons? Distance, money, funny day of the week, childcare? Can they be persuaded to come to the evening do? Maybe a mutual friend can have a word and explain that your a bit upset about it. Maybe you could have a girls night with them before the wedding?

My wedding is still months away so I haven't been through this, but you really do need to focus on what is important about the day and who actually will be there, stuff anyone else, if they can't make the effort, they aren't worth the worry! But you will have loads of guests who are there for you to support you on your big day and they are the important ones. Once you get your fiance back home, I'm sure it will all be soon forgotten! I hope it all goes well!

You're probably not feeling good in your dress just because you aren't feeling good in general. See if you can go try it on again with a clear head.

As the previous reply suggested, try to have a day out with your friends beforehand or encourage them to make at least part of the day for you.

It's easier said than done but you have to try to not dwell on things, you'll enjoy your day regardless, you're marrying the nan of your dreams right?

Hi,

I tend to agree and think that maybe you feel so down about your dress because of how you are feeling in general - could you go back and try it on again when you're feeling a little better? It's really disappointing when people you really want to be at your wedding can't make it but you just have to try and remind yourself that your day will be amazing because you get to marry the person you love, everything else around that is just details.

I'm just under 4 weeks until my wedding and I'm feeling down about things as well, different things to you but I think it's just because it is now getting very close you and it's something that you've been planning for month! Try to focus on the reason your getting married and enjoy your day no matter what!

I had lots of moments like this, it's natural to doubt yourself sometimes. It's a big event where you feel like people will be judging every detail, but you just have to think who cares and make it the best day for you and your fiancé, that's all that really matters. At the end of the day people are getting a great party and free food so they should be grateful!

I am am naturally quite introverted, and even on the morning of my wedding I was feeling quite down and almost upset, but as soon as the wedding started, it was amazing! Everyone was so complimentary and it was amazing seeing everyone so happy. It really is all worth it so just try to think about hat and stay positive! It's just stress and insecurity that's making you feel down.

i had quite a few friends who I always thought would be there say they couldn't. One and it did hurt, but by the time the day came I really didn't miss them! I actually thought 'well it's their loss' they missed it on an awesome day! It's the people that do attend that make it. People are so happy to be included, and they give you lovely cards with messages inside, and they hug you and say what a lovely couple you are and how amazing the day has been, and it's really wonderful. You honestly won't miss the ones that aren't there.
