Does someone have any magical wonderful advice to make me feel better about wedding stress?
Okay, that’s a lot of crap going on. I’m really sorry :o( A wedding should be a celebration! I will admit that when I was first engaged, some crazy stuff went on. But it only lasted a few days. FIRST, this is you and your fiance’s day. The best advice I can give you about HIS FAMILY is that HE needs to deal with them. I truly believe this. I know many people won’t agree, but I don’t believe it’s your job to argue with them. If they are pressuring you as to whom to invite, where to have the reception and wedding, and when it is, your fiance needs to sit down with them. This sounds really serious, unless you are blowing it out of proportion. Your fiance needs to tell them that you both have decided together on the date, the location, and the guest list (as per it not including people you don’t even know!) It needs to come from him (or both of you together, not just you) that it is your wedding and you will decide on who comes and where it is. HE needs to step up and confront his family.
