How did you get yourselves out of a wedding planning slump?

Posted by

Our editor Megan is engaged and planning a wedding. We're tagging along with her as she plans over the next year so y'all can read, advise, and/or commiserate…

This was literally days after getting engaged. Ask me how many dresses I've tried on since?

Why did I get so much done the first couple weeks of being engaged, and now I'm doing NOTHING? I was on a freaking roll! Guest list, hashtags, narrowing down dates… even looking at wedding dresses! We've been engaged for over a month, and now I'm dead in the water.

So, instead of things that I've gotten done, here are…

The things that I feel bad about not getting done:

Getting my ring re-designed

My ring was given to Mike by his bubbie, so it's too big and not my style. Instead of getting it re-sized, until I figure out what custom ring design I want, I've just secured it with one of my gold rings I always wear, and have just let it flop around my finger for over a month. It's driving me nuts, but I'm kind of at a loss design-wise. How did you guys handle rings that didn't fit?

Reaching out to more vendors

Man, that shit is hard. It's kind of like asking someone out on a date… you don't really know them, but you like the way they look, and they've written some cute things on their profile, so you want to reach out. But then what if things go wrong? And you don't end up being a match? But you've already agreed to go through with this wedding thing together… and, ugh. What made you guys eventually pull the vendor email trigger?
