Did anyone else feel so overwhelmed in the week before their wedding?

[Littletinytarzanswingingfromanosehair]

We get married next week and I'm at meltdown level.

Convinced something is going wrong (so it will get cancelled/postponed etc) batshit, I know.
People getting too drunk /
People not turning up / people not having a good time....
It's just a lot!
50 in the day 100 at night so medium sized too.
I literally feel like I can pass out 🤣😭.

Did anyone else get like this?!

Honestly, I think that your feelings are quite common.

If it's any consolation, my mother took to her bed a week before my wedding. She'd gone to the GP for antidepressants: "Everyone will be looking at me!"

I'd agreed to leave from my parents' house. Spent the entire week thinking that Mum wouldn't be at my wedding.

Got everything done, arrived at my parents' house...Mum leapt out of bed and made herself a ham sandwich.

Not me! I was 5 months pregnant and in a little bubble of eating loads of Kit Kats and watching back to back greys anatomy as soon as home from work. The wedding was something I was so excited about because it was so small, simple and I was really just focused on our unborn baby!

I was a mess. My DF died suddenly 5 weeks before, and the funeral (which I had to make all the arrangements for and pay for) was 2 weeks before the wedding. Our house sale completed the day after the funeral, so we had a house move in between too. I was a complete basket case by my wedding day, but it was all wonderful and was still the happiest day of my life.

Try not to stress over inconsequential things. Will it really detract from your day if someone gets drunk or doesn’t turn up? It doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme (as long as it’s not your DH to be!) Enjoy every minute! x

I know.
We have been planning for a year, I'm so excited to marry the love of my life but I weirdly feel depressed but not depressed about getting married just absolutely at the end of my tether.
My work is so demanding but maybe that's made the planning more draining and put a damper?

If you're stressed at work, that certainly won't help.

The week before my wedding I didn’t have a dress, a ring, a cake or any flowers. We did have a registry slot and a booking for lunch afterwards. I sorted the other things a couple of days before but figured there was very little that was actually necessary.

It will be fine OP; have a lovely day!

Well thank you all!
The wedding has happened. It was absolutely amazing! The only thing that was a let down was the best man's speech but heyho. The weather was gorgeous and everyone had a great time. Just back down to earth now 🥲 xx

I was so stressed that I was having panick attacks daily! thankfully my wedding planner recommended me a company that really helped me out. we just had to do only 4 sessions with Alex and 90% of my stress was gone

AAahhh so happy you had a good wedding.

At mine- it was in the UK, my family are in Australia. My parents and sister turned up a few days before alomg with my mother's best friend who decided to tag along as a 'surprise'. She's a difficult and demanding bombastic person and that stressed me because we had not known she was coming and had to sort out not only a place for her to sit but also a place for her to stay while she sat in my sitting room with her bag asking where she would go.

The night before my wedding my mother got drunk and decided that this was the perfect time to tell me all about the very serious sexual abuse in her family when she was growing up and how any child I had might be inheriting bad genes.

This all then had to be unpacked over some years as I wasn't really able to deal with it Right Then at that moment.

The wedding itself was okay though and we have been married 20 years and i have been very lucky and happy.

Oh my! sorry to hear that!
