E3: Planning Your Wedding With ADHD And Autism

from High Peaks, Low Bullshit | The Hell-Yes Elopement Podcast · host Emily Belanger

If the thought of a big traditional wedding makes your nervous system want to shut down — you're not broken, and you're definitely not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing my personal story of being diagnosed with ADHD and autism at 30 years old, and how that realization finally explained why traditional weddings always felt so overwhelming and deeply misaligned for me. We're diving into what ADHD and autistic brains actually experience during wedding planning and wedding days — from decision fatigue and social pressure to sensory overload — and why these environments can feel more like survival mode than celebration. We'll talk about why eloping often feels like relief instead of rebellion, what low-sensory wedding days can actually look like, and activity ideas and timelines designed for couples who want connection without chaos. This episode is your emotional permission slip to create a wedding day that supports your nervous system — not one that overwhelms it. And it's extremely important to hire an elopement photographer who GET's it and understands your pain points and how to turn a day that currently feels like chaos, into a sensory calming day filled with joy!   Checkout More Information Here: Adirondack Elopement Packages
