This past week you learned that the photographer you’d wanted is double booked, the wedding dress isn’t done yet despite promises it would be completed weeks before, and the wedding band you hired just sent a mass text telling all their fans they ‘broke up.'
And today?
His cousin put you both on blast on Facebook wanting to know why she wasn't asked to be a bridesmaid.
Maybe you and your fiance could use a break from wedding planning chores for an evening or two! Netflix and chill? How about an evening with Hulu or Amazon Prime?
Choose your favorite streaming platform, pop some popcorn, and order out for pizza.
We've got a list of films with wedding planning elements here that will inspire you (or at least make you laugh).

Forever and ever.
Amen.
