Fiancé stressed

My fiancé asked me to marry him 6 months ago and he set the wedding day for 2 1/2 years time as a surprise. I’ve been suffering from bad anxiety and sometimes my moods can be up and down but I’ve seeked counselling and I’m trying my best.
Recently my fiancé said he’s stressed with work , home , me and saving for the wedding and house. He loves me but when he’s stressed he’s not happy. I’ve asked him if he wants to postpone the wedding but he’s said no - I’ve tried to offer various solutions but I’m very confused on what I’m meant to do. My anxiety is high and I feel that maybe I’m just not making him happy anymore. I feel like just by asking to spend time with him stresses him out and that he’d rather go out with his mates. I really don’t know what to do for the best or how to support him. I was so excited for the wedding but now I just feel like the shine has been taken away

If you both really want to get married you maybe need to have a chat about the best way to do it. I called off my wedding as I was getting very anxious and started questioning if this meant I didn't love my fiancé. We split up for a year before getting back together. 3 children and a mortgage later we got married in a registry office, just us and our boys with virtually no planning and no stress.

If you have anxiety and he's stressed I would think about whether you really need the added stress of a big wedding.
