Lost my wedding mojo

Hi all
is this the norm? We’re 6 weeks away from wedding and I’ve lost excitement for it. It’s become so much bigger than we planned and the stress of the cost and organisation means I’ve just lost my enthusiasm completely. Is that normal or should I be worried?

the wedding has mushroomed… but do you still want to marry the person? If so , it’s fine . If you love them, Good luck I’m sure it will be fine!

Don't worry... but if you can cut some things out, do. There's so much you don't need. Get some rest, delegate some stuff, cancel some stuff and enjoy the last few weeks of being engaged.

Totally normal. You’re stuck with it now and can only press on, but my advice to you is not to forget why you’re getting married in the first place, and try and find some time in the next few weeks and on the day, to be with your fiancé/fiancée, just the two of you, block out the madness and concentrate on each other.

I remember feeling exactly the same, OP.
I realized that I absolutely did want to be married to him, though, and that we were just worn down with all the planning.
We've been happily married for nearly thirty years now.
You'll be fine. Good luck!

The pressure definitely intensifies as it gets closer, OP!

Is there a particular thing that is making you feel this way? Maybe it's one thing you've planned that has tipped you over. Is there anything you could change or cancel to help yourself be a bit more relaxed?

Just remember that you and your fiance are the priority, and if there are things planned for the day that you don't really want, you can cancel or change them. It's all about you so try and make it as much what you want as you can.

I hope you have an amazing day.

It’s just the cost i think. We’re spending double what we originally planned and we had no prior savings or family support so In the 6 months we’ve been engaged we’ve saved £10k and I’m exhausted. We’ve now got 70 people coming instead of an initial plan of 20. I don’t like the idea of 70 people watching me and judging how I look and how DP looks at me. I think I am just spiralling.
