I’m 18, and my fiancé is 17. Yes I know, but we’ve been together a little while and friends for a long time. So the minor age gap is okay and the court approves. We went from wanting to get married late summer 2020 to getting married October 12th 2019.

I’ve been so stressed with our short notice wedding that’s supposed to have over 60 attendees that I’ve asking him and so many others for help. I feel drained bc unfortunately my fiancé isn’t taking this as serious as I am it seems but it’s okay, for now.

We have 6 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen, 2 flower girls and hopefully 2 ring bearers. It’s tough because his mom is in jail and can’t be there with us. I work with his sister and aunt so I’m trying to get my boss to fill in that night so they can both be there too, along with his sisters husband and three kids. I have family flying out, we’re cooking all of the food, making all the wedding favors and gifts, and trying to do it all on a low budget and idek if 3 of our groomsmen can make it tbh.

I’ve done my part, or at least what I can to get my bridesmaids, some groomsmen, family, flower girls, ring bearers, etc in check and my fiancé can’t even do his part to get those 3 groomsmen on board :(

With only 4 weeks left, I’m starting to second guess how much I can handle, but I know it will be worth it. Luckily I work at a hotel so my family and friends can get discounts at some hotels if they need to.

My mom doesn’t like my fiancé or the thought of me getting married, neither does most of my family (about getting married) and mom doesn’t like that I’m getting married on property that my dads side of the family owns. That’s even more stress.

I don’t get paid for 6 more days and I have so much to buy that I’m worried won’t get here on time so that’s even more stressful. Bless my dad and uncle for offering to build benches, the arch, tables, cake stands, and even towers to put drinks and snacks on for the guest. My step mom, momma is buying most of the decor and everything and taking a lot over for me to help me out more then she knows.

From the bouquets to the height of my bridesmaids and groomsmen, I have so much to figure out guys. I don’t even know if all of my bridal party can be there for the rehearsal. I’ve cried a good number of times bc even with all the help, I feel alone planning such an important day for me and my soon to be.... I don’t even have time to go buy half the stuff I need or pay off a loan I got recently :(

I don’t know what I should do to help myself organize and keep strong through the stress.
