Anybody not excited about the wedding? I want to get married to my fiancé but I can’t get excited to pay so much for one day…. I feel bad that I’m not more excited but it’s just so stressful

Not even engaged yet and I’m already dreading the wedding planning

I feel exactly the same way! I don’t want to plan the wedding but I was worried I’d regret it someday if we eloped or had a micro wedding. We ultimately decided to do a 75-100 person wedding and splurge for a wedding planner. To be honest I’m still pretty ambivalent about it, but the venue is booked so we’re doing it now!

Yes! I feel the exact same way! I’m really looking forward to being married to my fiancé, but wedding planning stresses me out so much that I find no joy in it. Currently deciding between a microwedding and a larger wedding - I really don’t like the planning and expense that goes into a larger wedding, but at the same time I’m close with my large family and wonder if I’ll regret not having everyone I love there.

I have the exact same problem! I have a huge family so a small wedding really isn’t an option. It’s all or nothing. I would love to just elope sometimes but know that would disappoint so many people and I might regret it later

Same. Mines coming up soon and everyone is always asking “are you excited!?” Like no, how can I be excited when I’m insanely stressed? Lol

Same! It's so much stress. We're really on in the process and I'm wondering if eloping might be the better option at this point lol

We’re having an Indian wedding on a Sunday with ceremony in the morning, followed by lunch, and then cocktail hour + reception.

We’re trying to avoid having an additional event Saturday night - any idea on if these guests would need to have food arranged for them by us and what that could look like on a cost effective budget.
