How do you keep the in-laws and friends from driving you crazy! The times we had really big issues come up, H had to talk to his parents about them. But I can't say that they were ever really resolved, and this was the worst part of the process for me. I'm sure they had good intentions, but it came out in all the wrong ways, and the week before the wedding I was getting TONS of texts from ILs asking the same questions over and over. It was exhausting and added a ton of stress. I wish I'd had the guts to ask that they not text me and find out information some other way.
Anyone recommend a good and inexpensive pipe and drape company? Also, did you trim anything from the budget and were so glad you did? No ideas on pipe and drape, sorry. We also cut favors and didn't miss it at all. I didn't trim the guestbook but wish I did. Nobody even signed the darn thing!
Anyone doing something special for their first Christmas married with their husband? We just bought and moved into our first home, so actual "Christmas" things are being kept to a minimum -- I don't even think we're exchanging gifts. There's been no time to think of Christmas with all the moving/unpacking to do. But I think we'll always look back on our first Christmas in this house. Although, for the actual Christmas day, we'll be visiting my OOT family.
How were you able to keep calm the day of? I thought I'd be a wreck of nerves and excitement, honestly, but it just all felt ... so normal. I never had that "OMG it's my wedding day!" feeling. And I really kept expecting it, since 100% of our guests/families were in from OOT, we were staying at a hotel, I was wearing a huge dress and having makeup done and the works, and absolutely everything should have felt out of the ordinary. But it was really just another (albeit really awesome) day. At the end of the day I thought about it and loved the fact that it all felt perfectly natural and real. There were no nerves or out-of-body moments.
