She’s stressed. Here’s what you do:
Give her space. Be there for her but don’t talk about it unless she’s talking about it. Let her know you’re there to help. Ask her to pick ten things she doesn’t want to be in charge of then offer to do those instead. Don’t brush off giving your opinion when she asks, and remember that the best remedy for stress is the act of making love. Next time you’re gone for an overnight venture, let me know and I’ll step in to relieve her stress.

Aside from you stepping in that's been my approach,
I've said I'm here to help for whatever you want help with, as is your bridesmaids and your & my family.
It's your first time planning a wedding, it's okay to be overwhelmed, that doesn't mean it can't be figured out.
At the end of the day this is her wedding for the rest of our lives. Everything else doesn't matter. She's overwhelmed by the fact that she won't be able to appease everyone; who cares??
This is literally the first conflict we've had, I didn't see it coming bc we talk about everything, I've given her all the advice posted but I didn't propose to be engaged either, I don't want to phrase it like that but I want her to be happy and any wedding with the two of us saying "I do" will make us happy for the rest of our lives. Why put that future off over semantics?
