How to stop obsessing over wedding planning?

Obsessing usually happens when planning has no limits. It follows you into bed, into work and into conversations with friends. The fix is to contain it. Decide which evenings or weekend slots are for wedding work, and write them in your calendar like any other appointment. When the slot ends, close the laptop and put the folder away.

It also helps to make decisions quickly. Long lists of options feed obsession, so give yourself a deadline for each choice and stick to it. Ask your partner to hold you to the schedule, and agree on a phrase you can both use, like "not now, we'll talk on Sunday".

If you find yourself scrolling or comparing late at night, swap the habit. Read a book, go for a walk or watch something light. Remind yourself that the wedding is one day, and your relationship is the real project. If the obsession feels unmanageable or is affecting your sleep or mood, it is wise to talk to your GP or a counsellor. You do not have to carry it alone.
