Huh?!

Gift928

So we have 39 days til the big day. I think i'm feeling all the emotions a person can feel leading up to the big day. NERVOUS, ANXIOUS, WORRIED, STRESSED etc etc etc

At this point there are sooo many things that are just making me go HUH?! (Well more like WTF!)

1) FI's aunt calls and asks if we can send invites to an extra 8 PEOPLE!!!!! (mind u my RSVP deadline is this upcoming MONDAY!

2) ummmmm REALLYYYY????


3) FI and his GM have yet to get their tuxes :bbmangryface:

4) One of my BM dress doesnt fit... AT ALL.... and with a lil over a month we cant re-order the dress a size bigger because it'll take another 3 months to get it.

5) I have yet to have my hair trial and makeup trial.

6) We have wayyyy to many boxes in our tiny apartment.

LADIES, I'm trying my besttttt not to stress, but i'm feeling like its inevitable.
I need to get my ish together, and i definitely need more MOTIVATION!!!!!!

Please say a prayer or two for FI and I.

Saying a prayer for you and your FI. I'm just under a month and I feel like I have so much to do. There are some things we just have no control over. 

FI's uncle wanted us to invite 15 more people and offered to pay but it worked out for us, only 3 of them were able to come. So hopefully all of your aunt's guests won't be able to make it because of the short notice. 

For your BM, you can probably take her dress to a seamstress to see if they can do anything or oder it from Pearl's place. I paid extra rush just to get one of my girls' dress ontime. It'll be here right before the wedding when she gets here. Hopefully everything comes together soon. Don't stress too much over it, things have a way of working itself out. FI cousin did not order his tux so the day before the deadline, FI asked one of his friends to be a gm, he said yes and went to the store the next day (yesterday which was the deadline) to order it.

Girl, That response card is out of control! People have no sense! But OMG you are so close! Don't worry, Prayers are going up for you and your FI. I know everything will work out just fine!

Oh and P.S. Maybe you can light a fire under them so than can hurry up and get their attire together. Good Luck!

Anyways, thanks so much for the kind words and prayers ladies. My friends FB status said  "Praise Him when you're in it, and He will bring you through it." I soooo needed to read that!!

<div>I really had to scroll back up to make sure I wasnt the one that posted this!!!! I am going thru all of this with 39 days to go - yes, including the crazy RSVPs! </div><div>
</div><div>- We were at FSIL's wedding over the holiday weekend and now FMIL wants to add some more of her family members to the list</div><div>
</div><div>- One BM dress doesnt fit, she needs the dress to be 2 sizes bigger or will have to lose 25 lbs by the wedding. I asked everyone for their sizes b4 I ordered their dresses and she told me the wrong size, even though she was just in another wedding in July and ordered the right size for that one!!!</div><div>
</div><div>- I haven't had my hair or make-up trial either. Make-up is scheduled for October 1st and hair will probably be the week of the wedding.</div><div>

Hey date twins. Don't worry it will all work out. Step back, take a deep breath, write a list of everything to-do you can think of and then start tackling them one by one. You'll get it done. Rely on your knotties for support and advice.

WOW! hatroopes isnt that something!!! and loosing 25 pounds in 39 days, WHEWW goodluck to her. My BM said she's going to go see a seamstress and see if they can just add material to the dress. If that doesnt work, her younger sister will step in.
 
EsquireJL thanks for the encouraging words.
I'm definitely SOOOO thankful for this board! Whether its reading what someones going through, or venting, or expressing thanksgiving and happiness, this board (and most importantly the ladies in it) has been such a HUGE part in my wedding planning. So i say to you ladies, THANK YOU!
