Raise your hands if your wedding was full of tension and confusion!
It’s not just you—almost everyone experiences hectic preparations for their big day. Some people walk through it with a cool head, but most (including me) turn everything upside down! Wedding planning involves so many things—you need to plan, prepare, understand, discuss, and manage countless tasks.
Wedding preparations are never a one-person job. For my wedding, my mom was the planner, my dad was the financier and executor, my sister was the designer, and I took on the role of the purchaser!
I don’t know why I had so many silly fights during my wedding preparations. Maybe it was because of my short temper or the fear of getting married. I’m sure many of you have experienced similar fears and ended up fighting with your close ones too!
Here’s a list of common wedding preparation fights—just for laughs! 😄
1. Fight with Your Boss
You definitely need at least two weeks off to celebrate your big day. Once your wedding date is set, the first challenge is facing your angry boss to get your leave approved! While some people muster the courage to ask directly, others struggle to get their leave sanctioned.
How to overcome this situation
Instead of being rude or hesitant, meet your boss with a personalized wedding invitation. Trust me, it’ll make leave approval a piece of cake!
2. Cloth Fight with Your Sister
While the bride is busy handling anxiety, fear, and excitement, the sister seems to have plenty of time to shop for the latest outfits! Often, sisters end up getting ready faster than the bride—and that’s where the verbal clashes begin!
How to overcome this situation
Plan ahead with your sister. Decide on the color, dress, and accessories she wants to wear so there’s no confusion on the big day.
3. Fights with Brothers
Brothers can be lifesavers during wedding prep—they help buy cosmetics, clothes, jewelry, and all those last-minute essentials. But the fight begins when they refuse to help or bring back irrelevant stuff!
How to overcome this situation
Be kind. Don’t shout at them (even though you’ll be tempted). Remember, they’re your only option for last-minute shopping runs. Request their help nicely instead of commanding them!
4. Fights with Mom
If you fight with your mom over missing combs or jammed taps on regular days, you can expect it to get worse during wedding prep. Misplaced safety pins, ill-fitting blouses, or guests arriving late are perfect reasons for a fight!
How to overcome this situation
Moms are superheroes who understand the emotional stress you’re going through. Be patient and discuss your concerns calmly if you want a quick solution.
5. Shopping Fights with Other Brides
Have you ever fought with another bride at the store over a dress? It sounds silly, but when you’re overwhelmed with choices, it’s easy to start observing others. When the other bride picks something nice, suddenly you want the same thing!
How to overcome this situation
Take your friends along when you shop and ask them to stay alert. They’ll help you avoid unnecessary fights!
6. Fights with Your Fiancé
Talking to your fiancé every day brings you closer, but too much love also opens the door for silly fights. You’ll bicker about everything—wrong gifts, missed calls, unanswered texts, and more!
How to overcome this situation
Respect your fiancé. Remember that both of you are still learning about each other, and it takes time to develop perfect compatibility.
7. Fights with Elders
Elders come with their own customs and traditions, while the younger generation tends to be less accommodating. They might comment on the way you sit, talk, or eat, leading to friction.
How to overcome this situation
Respect their experience. Instead of talking back, follow their advice—or if you disagree, politely ignore it without hurting their feelings.
And that’s not all! You’ll have fights with the caterer when the food doesn’t taste good, with the florist when the flower color doesn’t match, financial fights with your dad, and even arguments with friends who don’t turn up!
Make sure you enjoy these silly fights without hurting anyone. Cherish every moment—they’ll become the best memories of your life! ❤️
