What's really important
So I think I forgot whats important this week.

Ladies has anyone else got caught up with wanting everything for the wedding day to be perfect. Like you can only have one dress, one ring etc.

I started the week stressing that I would never get a ballroom gown, that this is my only chance i life. I nearly bought a secound dress when I realised that my whole wedding had been themed around my one dress. Still think there is nothing wrong with having two dresses however!

My biggest downer this week was with my engagement ring. I went shopping for wedding rings and in doing this found out becuase my ring is old (was my fmil) that it is to thin and will crack soon. So then I asked my fh if he was ok with me getting it remade the same or redesigning or just picking a different ring. All of shih he said yes to. But as I went around trying on different rings and getting quotes to remake I realised even though he said he was ok he really did not want me to have a different ring.

I can't beieve I even considered it. I love my ring. Yes it may not have been the ring I may have picked if given the chance. However this may be because I have never seen a ring like it before. It is beautiful and I love the settlement involved in it.

Has anyone else got caught up in wedding planning and forgot what is actually important?

I think most have, we all get focused on the fairy tale wedding, full of glam and elegance, and we get stressed out when we can't make it look amazing. That's what happened with me, anyways. I have since then realized that decorations, food and small details aren't what FH and I, or our guests will really remember, its that this is the day I'm marrying the person I love with all my heart.

I agree with Chelsea! We have been unlucky with our bridal party(they have been HORRIBLE) and there were times when I was so worried about centerpieces, flowers, table linens, food etc that my FH and I were fighting about it.. up until about 2 weeks ago I hadn't realized what this day was all about, it's about me, after 8 years finally being married to the boy I fell in love with when I was 14, it's about spending the rest of my life with this amazing man and devoted father. I am SO blessed to be marrying him, Regardless of everything else. It could pour down rain on my wedding day and I would be okay, the flowers and cake could be totally wrong and I'd be okay, heck.. at this point I would be happy marrying him at the court house. The BEST advice I received from a long time friend that just recently celebrated her one year anniversery. If you let the little things affect how you feel, you'll ruin your whole day, if you let a certain person bring you down, it will change your perspective on everything else, so my main goal is to brush it off when something doesn't go as planned, smile and just deal with the issues as they arise. Because regardless, at the end of the day I will be married. And isn't that what the wedding is about in the first place?

Happy planning!
