This is good advice just generally, but especially when planning a wedding. You'll be dealing with lots of different people, all of whom have their own demands and issues, and it can be easy to get frustrated. If someone's being unreasonable, rather than getting into an argument with them, just let them finish saying whatever they have to say. If, on reflection, their advice/demands were unreasonable, simply ignore them. Listen to what everyone has to say, but remember you don't have to go along with any of it.
Make a plan and then try and stick to your plan. You won't always be able to say on top of things, but if you've managed your time and made lists of what you need to do by when, then you can maintain a certain amount of control.
You may find there's a gap between what you thought you could afford and what you can actually afford. Don't let yourself be pressured into going over your budget, there's no sense spending more than you can afford.
For whatever reason, you might not to be able to get everything you want. Everyone wants their dream wedding, but you also have to be practical. There's no need to compromise too much, or let people push you into a wedding you don't want, but you will have to make some sacrifices. Trying to get the impossible is obviously going to be stressful.
It's important to not get overwhelmed, so no matter how much you have to do you should still try and make time for walks/bowling/whatever you do to relax. You also want to make sure you're getting enough sleep, being tired all the time will only make things more difficult.
It's important to remember that all the stress is for an ultimate goal. So long as you keep that in mind you should be able to stay sane through anything that comes along.
