18 days out. . . . no biggie

kaos16

My wedding is in 18 days and I am super excited.  I am not, however, stressed in the least.  Everyone keeps asking if i'm nervous or overwhelmed with things to do.  I'm not!  I feel like everything is pretty much handled.  Am I missing something?

Normal. H's sister told me 2 days before our wedding that I was the most calm bride she had ever seen. It helped to not procrastinate!

I was calm 2 weeks out then a nut once that week hit.

Nope, not missing a thing.  Everyone asked me if I was nervous all the time.  Why should I be nervous?  I was getting ready to marry my best friend and love of my life and also wear my killer wedding dress and party it up with my friends and family.  I was hella excited.  The day of the wedding I was calm and kind of in a fog but certainly not nervous or stressed.  My Mom still comments on how calm and stress free both my sister and I were on our wedding days...I guess she was expecting the opposite LOL!

I never got stressed or nervous.   Everything was well planned.  I also didn't have a lot of DYI projects, so that helped.  

 A lot of my friends became stressed because they overcommitted to DYI projects and they didn't plan well enough.

Planning & not procrastinating is the key. If you're ready, then you're probably not stressed out. I had a friend who totally slacked on planning and she about had a breakdown in the last week, dragging me along with her. It was a mess.

I agree, planning and not waiting to the last minute is important!  I've been very efficient through the whole process in all of my appts and research and don't foresee myself stressed or becoming stressed.  We are also not doing any DIY projects.  (We even had someone else write out our invitation envelopes in calligraphy.)  I think not having DIY projects probably has contributed the most to stress free wedding planning!

I was totally calm the day of. Which shocked me because I'm a naturally anxious person.

I was just like Wow... 18 days that's really soon. Then I just realized MINE is in 18 days too. I just got a little stressed thinking about that, even though I'm pretty much ready.

best of luck with your day!

I wasn't stressed.  At that point everythign had been planned, and all we had to do was just let everything roll.  It didn't all go 100% perfectly, but we decided not to let ourselves get stresed out by minor imperfections.   We hired professionals because they know how to do their job -- so when our florist called the day before the wedding appologizing profusely that he absolutely could not get a hold of any purple ranunculous for my bouqets, my answer was "Huh.  Okay, sounds great! I'm sure they'll look beautiful no matter what flowers are in them!"   I think he almost passed out on the other end of the phone:-)

So yeah, just roll with it:-)

I am 16 days out, and a little stressed.  It is also because I start school next week which is super close to my wedding date, so I just have a lot on my plate.  I am trying to get done what I need to and relax the rest of the time.  My maid of honor is traveling in the week of the wedding so having her here helping will be great!

Well, I can't really say about 18 days out - but DIY is completely doable. You just need to decide what you are going to do and get it done in advance. I am the kind of person to plan and set dates to when I want everything to be done. My last DIY project won't be done until the week before the wedding, but all I have to do is show up with the mini mason jars & my baker for the cupcakes will just pop them in, and I'll seal 'em up.

I was also a crazy planner and knew exactly how my wedding would be 10 months beforehand. We had a year & a half engagement to plan it all out. Time is key - you need enough of it if you're doing DIY (or have a bit of OCD, like myself).

Well I am 10 days out and not stressing to bad! Everything is ready to rock. I think people think wedding and automaticly assume stressed out brides!

I am 5 days out and people want a bridezillas story. I have nothing. I actually had my freak outs months and months ago. But now that everything is ready I am just excited. you what was a bummer for me? I had the most painful pinched nerve the day of my bridal shower a few weeks ago. I was on so much pain I couldn't enjoy it like I wanted to. but everyone was very understanding and tried to help me feel better. But dang pinched nerves!!! That sucked big time.
