Bride-To-Be Has Wedding ‘Meltdown’, Fiancé and Mom Know What To Do

A bride-to-be has unlocked a stress reliever many are taking note of.

A video posted to TikTok by Emily (@applebeeslover101) has gone viral after she revealed what her fiancé and mother did for her after a breakdown over wedding planning, which was to put her on a swing and push her. Since the video was posted, it has received over 280,000 likes and nearly 700 comments.

“Just had a psycho meltdown about wedding planning and now both my fiancé and mother are pushing me on a swing to calm me down,” Emily captioned the video. “It involved sobbing, dry heaving and an attitude.”

Viewers in the comments immediately related, and some couldn’t help themselves with the irony. “Talk about a mood swing,” @michaelbrobiestest quipped.

“I started crying the other day when I had to face filling out the DJ questionnaire and playlist. I’m so tired,” @enrichment_studies wrote.

To comfort Emily, many people chimed in to share the ways their wedding didn’t go to plan, even despite their best efforts.

“My wedding venue fired their event planner and decided they no longer do weddings, and no one told us until 20 days before my wedding—until my mom and I started spamming them about a final walk though,” @moshster wrote, adding that they were offered a discounted venue from their DJ in the end.

“Don’t worry,” @kenzielens wrote. “My husband got mono, had to sit down in our vows and our caterer undercooked all the meat, so we had to order pizza. We smiled through it all.”

“Four hours before the wedding the electricity went out at my outside wedding,” @ninadeeee wrote. “My fiancé was immediately on it and had the groomsmen looking for generators.”

Some weren’t as lucky as others though, nor did they have the coping mechanism Emily had discovered. “Lost my job two months before my wedding…debated not having one. One-third of people didn’t show,” @_sarah__dactyl wrote. “I wish I had a sensory swing.”

Emily acknowledged that she was lucky to have the swing—and the personal support system that put her on it. In the comments, she shared more about her struggles with wedding planning.

“I’m trying so hard to be grateful and have fun, but the stress is winning right now,” she wrote.

“Truly, I don’t deserve their kindness after my actions today,” she responded to another comment.
