Intro: Reflections on Wedding Planning by an Anxious Bride

As I was planning my spring 2021 wedding, I wanted to blog about my experiences as a bride with anxiety. I wrote one post that received mixed reviews from certain people and I completely shut down. I actually had a panic attack over it while in Florida because writing is my way to process emotions and situations. I haven’t written since December 1st but now that I am reflecting on my wedding experiences, I want to write for my own memories and to maybe help a friend or two as they plan their own nuptials.

Pleasing Others While Planning Your Wedding

From what movies have shown me, wedding planning for every bride is stressful. From what I’ve experienced, wedding planning with anxiety is a whole new level of stress.

Now, that stress isn’t for lack of excitement. Sadly, it just tends to overshadow and cloud the excitement. Marrying my best friend and celebrating with our closest family and friends will be an amazing thing!
