Drowning in details

2 posts in one day is not like me, but I'm getting so close to the wedding and starting to obsess. I'm not even doing any DIY projects except for printing and folding programs. I am absolutely, 100% excited to marry my FI but I feel like I'm drowning in timelines and details!  I didn't worry or even think about the wedding all that much since about February, and now it's all I think about. It's making it super hard to focus on work and to sleep. 

I had my bridal shower over the weekend. It was amazing and perfect, but I felt like the day went by so fast that now I'm worried the wedding will be over in the blink of an eye, too. How do you just slow down and enjoy the moment? There isn't even that much that needs to be done, so why can't I stop obsessing?

    It goes really fast.      


    One piece of advice we got from DH's cousin's husband was "at some point stop and look around the room.    Look at all the people who love you and want celebrate with you".

    We both remembered that advice and did stop for a few minutes just to look around the room.  Then it was back to crazy time.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    You need a margarita, lady! 

    Seriously though, you sound like you're in a good place. And skip the programs if you need to, no one will really miss them. Give yourself a time limit, you're doing wedding stuff for one hour (while drinking margaritas!) and then it waits until tomorrow or something so you're not on overload.

    I'm with Lynda.  I did the EXACT same thing (during the Cupid Shuffle).  I took a step back, sipped my wine, and thought "holy shit, I'm married!"

    Also, I'd make an effort to have a date night with FI before he becomes DH.  NO WEDDING TALK.
