Parents: they stress us out for various reasons. Whether it's complaining about money you're spending, wanting to advice about everything, or disapproving of your tastes, they do stress us out. Remember it's your day, not theirs. So keep yourself happy and not them!
The number one person who will stress you out the most is the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with. This is mostly because weddings are demanding. The most common complaints are "He's not doing anything to help with the wedding" and "she never talks about anything other than the wedding." Avoid this with some simple beforehand talk.
Before you run off and tell the world and friends about your wedding, take some time for you and your beloved to get used to the idea. Discuss the kind of wedding you want. When you start sharing the news, without a clue about the scenario you want to create, you are more vulnerable to pressure and influence from others.
People tend to see your wedding as a chance to fulfil their own wishes. They tend to think it's all about for them and not you! You have to clear your mind, and also protect yourself emotionally from the sometimes-negative vibes from well-meaning friends and relatives.
Our culture places a tremendous emphasis on having a great wedding and not enough focus on having an awesome marriage. It's okay to be temporarily obsessed and to yearn for the perfect wedding - we all go there at some point - but you have to keep your eye on what's truly important. Your life after the wedding.
Remember: neglecting your basic needs is only going to make your wedding stress worse. Lack of food and sleep tend to increase feelings of anxiety, and when you're tired or hungry, you're more prone to making bad judgments.
