I’m dreading my own wedding

-

My fiancée has been planning our June 2020 wedding for three years – and I’m now dreading the actual day. She’s a perfection­ist who has nailed every table setting, flower and morsel down to the finest detail. I just know that something will not be right on the big day and that she’ll be distracted and disappoint­ed. This whole event has consumed her and I dread to think what she’ll be like once we return from honeymoon. Why does everything have to be so complicate­d?

This is going to be your day, too,

and you’re perfectly within your rights to ask your fiancée to calm down and take a deep breath. No event runs absolutely perfectly no matter how much work is put in because life doesn’t work like that. Warn her that you’re already worried about her mental health post honeymoon. Reassure her of your love and commitment, but make it clear that you refuse to allow this event to come between you. Whatever happened to spontaneit­y and fun?
