Wedding planning causes so much anxiety, especially for the bride. Between her future husband not wanting to help choose between napkin colors, her parents giving her advice (sometimes unwanted), and her future in-laws just adding to the mix of the things. Not many ladies spend their livelihoods planning an event that could last a few hours to a few days, and often this means weight-loss and lack of sleep (in addition to the possibility of becoming bridezilla). With this kind of lifestyle, how are you expected to be glowing on your wedding day?
I think what's important between a couple is still having time for dates & focusing on other things besides the wedding. You need to remember why you are even getting married in the first place. I suggest scheduling a date night (wedding-planning-free-night) where the two of you can just enjoy each other.
Between handling your job, spending time with your fiance, and planning a wedding, parents/in-laws calling you up to ask you/tell you about wedding details every other day definitely can be overwhelming. It'll also be a lot easier to break down with your parents over your in-laws. I believe that a smart idea would be to have scheduled hours during the week where you can tell your parents/in-laws that this is when I'm going to focus on wedding planning, if you could contact me during this time I will be able to focus on your requests/ideas. I value your opinion and would like you to be a part, but I also need to focus on my job. Say it with love & appreciation! I'm sure your mother-in-law or mom can remember how stressed she was. After all they just want to help you!
Hope this makes planning a little less stressful & all the time.
