It's amazing that "your day" that you strive so hard to plan and coordinate can have so many "no's" along the way. Eventually they all pile up until you cannot take it anymore. Weeding through the "no's" is probably the most tiring aspect of the planning process, aside from all the research to make sure you have found the best deal. Sometimes it's hard to get through all of those no's and the decisions that have to be made and it makes it difficult to remember the entire reason you're even going through all of it. It's not for the 5-7 hours of celebration, it's not for the guests (although they are important), it's not for the dress, or the food, or the favors, it's not for the photo opportunities...it's for the union of two people. A lifetime union that brings the love of two people together, that is the bigger picture that we often lose site of. I am definitely one of those people who has gotten wrapped up in all the small details so much that it has been stressing me out to the point of the release of bridezilla!
Honestly, with the wedding being so far away, I need to find a way to keep the bigger picture in mind and not let the annoyance of how others do or handle things to bring me down.
It's not like I only deal with the stress of planning and deciding the wedding details, I deal with the expectations of other people (which some days I can handle better than others), I also deal with a full-time job, a part-time side business, daily house maintenance/cleaning, cooking, running errands (both personal and for the wedding), as well as the constant battle of "not bothering others" with the wedding stuff.
Oh where is my balance in life right now and when can I just relax for me?
