Will i feel excited?

We had a load of drama with family pre wedding and also had the stress of not knowing if our wedding would happen or not because of Covid (we ended up having to postpone). The stress did take away the excitement and anticipation of looking forward to getting married, but when it came to the actual day, it was so special.

I hope the hassles will fade away for you and that you are able to enjoy some sense of anticipation - but if that doesn't happen, don't worry, because your wedding day is still going to be special because it's the day you get to make that marriage commitment to each other. Nothing can spoil that x

We had the exact same issue, we cut the guest list at aunts and uncles as I have 16 cousins who all have a couple of kids each and in honesty, I don't have a relationship with them or even like some of them so financially couldn't and didn't want to pay for them as we are only wanting 50 for the day. My mum kicked off as we have 20 friends at our day and she feels these places should go to family, but as I explained, these people are part of our life and as it is our day and we are paying we will do what we want, that went down like a lead balloon.

I have sent the cousins evening invites and not one of them has replied and when I did see them at a family do just after getting engaged none of them mentioned the wedding so proves my point as to why I have not invited them. I also feel some of our day guests I probably wouldn't invite now as they don't respond to invites or even contact us. One of my BM's has met and moved in with a guy and I barely hear from her, my man off honour also seems to be dis engaged and I am worried he wont even turn up on the day now as again I barely hear from him. Our wedding is 9 weeks away and this last month we have had our cake maker and MUA pull out, our event manager has left the venue, so having to deal with someone new and I have honestly felt so stressed and feel like if we could cancel without losing money I would and just go and do it at the registry office.

All that said, my H2B quite rightly points out, it is about us and getting married so sod everyone else, is their loss. I think you are in that lull stage where things are sorted and there is not much to do until the last minute bits so is hard to be excited. Please don't let others opinions get you down, it is your day and as long as you 2 are happy then is no one else's business. am sure as you get closer you will start to feel different

Thank you, I have found new suppliers and had a make up trial last week. It is ok, but the coverage didnt feel enough and didnt seem to last so not perfect but is too late now to find anyone else so will go with it and if needed I will have to top up myself throught the day! Just had my Hen weekend which was lovely and feeling a bit calmer now I have all the last minute bits sorted. hope you are feeling better X
