I'll start: I confess that I am starting to freak out a little bit..the cost of our wedding is really adding up!

I confess that I am really disaapointed that we may not be going to the Cheesecake Factory on Monday.  We have planned it for a while since that is where we are getting our cake from and FI just told me today that he isn't sure if he wants to go because he doesn't want to miss a workout.  I know that we have been really good and have gotten into a routine.  Maybe I can get him to go this weekend or something...

I have the same confession Brit, I'm starting to freak our I've money and the costs of everything. It's been really hard to save and cc are building up. I'm not sure yet how were paying for some things at the moment... Ugh

I confess that I am starting to feel really overwhelmed with work. Running our own business is a great idea, but I feel since my mom is on the verge of retiring that her dedication to the new clients I have gotten recently is slipping. I have 5 year ends to complete, and I feel like I am drowning.
I also confess that we haven`t talked about wedding plans in almost a month, and I really don`t want to miss out on the great accommodations I found for the two of us. *Sigh*

Brit & Jules - I know exactly how you guys feel about the money thing... I had my fair share of freak outs too!  I was worried sick for weeks and lost alot of sleep...  Somehow it all works out.  I did have to cut a few things that I wanted out, but I knew what my must haves were and I managed to get those.  I know it's natural to be worried, but I'm sure it will all work out for the both of you in the end

Add me to the money worriers! As it's getting closer I'm starting to freak out!!

I also confess I have a 4 day weekend coming up and I have absolutely zero motivation at work today.

I confess that I am a little concerned about the GM's clothing - they are all responsible for purchasing their own and to be honest we have no way of knowing that they have actually bought it and that they are buying the 'correct' things (we gave them all the info, descriptions, colors, etc..).  I am trying not to stress over it, but it is hard!

I confess I am a bit worried about my classes this time around. I had 3 exams this week. One I did not do well on (well....well enough) and the professor is reallllllly horrible. I know I sound like a 12 year old failing gym and blaming the professor, but I put a ton of work into it. The one from Tuesday I will get back today (it was eh), and the one from yesterday was ok too, but I guess we will see. I got A's in my last 2 classes so I am putting in the hard work. I hope this pays off. 

Bonus confession!!! I have been going back and forth about doing a B-shoot. I have been hesitant because I am plus-size and thought it would be really uncomfortable. There was a groupon for it so I spoke to the photographer on the phone just to ask some general questions. She was very nice. I then told her at the end of the conversation why I had reservations and she was so reassuring that I went ahead and booked it!! I will schedule it for sometime in mid August after I am done with classes for the summer!

I also confess that I filed a grievance at work and it is working its way through the system. I just got it back again saying that it was denied so now it has to go to a hearing. Now that it has gotten this far I am super nervous even though I knew that it would probably go to a hearing. I am so afraid that I am going to look like an idiot for filing it even though I can support my claims.

I'm at just under 7 months out and am already freaking out!!  I've even cut down the amount I'm putting into my 401K to have more cash to work with :-(  From an accountant's perspective I know I'm probably screwing myself, but from a Bride's perspective, I don't care!!  I'm already doing the bare minimum for my wedding but I do want SOME extras.  Money is already looking tight esp with the cost of the wedding band I want :-(  Also, I really want to be able to have a welcome dinner so I really need to set more money aside for that or else that means so excursions for us on the honeymoon!!  I confess I may be more worried about our budget than I care to admit!

I confess that I have no idea how I'm going to make it through the rest of the day!!!  I just received an email from UPS tracking that my Wedding DVD was just delivered at my house!

I can not wait to get home to watch it!!!!

Meg&Austin

I also confess about money and work issues. Now that were starting to book things the money is starting to flow We would like do save money but i also don't want my wedding to suck because of it. Work is kicking my butt. I am so stressed and feel over worked doing 3 peoples jobs for the next week.

venus909

Nicole!  You will not regret doing this!  It is and amazing experience and your FI will be head over heels when he gets his album!

Jen I see your from the Chicago area. Was wondering where you had your boudoir photos done if you don't mind sharing I am looking at different ones around my area. TIA!!!

Meg - I used Kathleen Thame (http://www.kathleenthame.com/blog/) On the actual day she was super nice and helped to make everything feel so comfortable and natural and she had an awesome Make-up/hair stylist glamming everyone up... the experience was GREAT!  I had a few issues with my photos... took a while to get them and then when I got them they were all dark and grainy looking... I went back and forth with her for a while and she said it was due to some issue with the upload.  Finally she "re-uploaded" my photos and they were much better, but I still think she could have done better on my shoot.  She has a pretty good portfolio so I know she does some awesome sessions. she sends you the hi-res files and you are on your own in making the album.

For the price (I paid $375 for the 1 hour session including hair and make-up) I'd still recommend her!  My DH LOVED his album!

Meg&Austin

Thank you for the info that's what this other lady is charging and she is closer but i will still look at her pics thanks again.

I confess also to wedding costs and work stresses.  I confess that I am not as far along in planning as I would like to be and its really getting me down.

Britj1030

Cathy- Finger crossed you guys get to go to the Cheesecake Factory!! and Good luck on the case!

Jules- the closer I get the wedding I freak out more! I am always such a hoarder with my cash!!! I know Jenn is right it will all work itself out by the end!

Har0610- you can do it!!! the best motivator is to just get movin' lol

Trudy- I feel your pain!!! I dont know what his friends are going to come back with!! I told them Army dress uniforms but we will see. I am sure your FI will keep them in line!
