Losing My $*** (long vent)

*deep breath*

Ok. So. I am joining the ranks of crazy brides. I do not know why but EVERYTHING is starting to bother me. 

I am mad that we're spending money on such an expensive wedding ring. I would be happy with a gold band. No one is listening to me about it.

I am irked that my mother has taken over so many planning details because she is super type A.  The kicker was that she suggested that I join Weight Watchers so I don't "hate my pictures on wedding day".  Seriously mom?

I'm bitter that I am teaching all day, then doing obscene amounts of housework and exercise when I get home and there isn't enough time in the day.

I'm annoyed that my FIs schedule is so crazy, which in turn, makes my schedule crazy.

I hate that our rehearsal dinner is turning into "Let's accomodate EVERYONE but the bride and groom". I am trying not to be mad at my FMIL, because that's just how she operates and she's paying.

*slump*

Sorry for the rant. I didn't want to go off on one of my students.

Is anyone else out there feeling like a big ball of crazy stress?

I'm the type A one in this section. But .. I learned a long time ago to have a plan, and a back-up plan so I didn't freak out! LOL It sounds like you are feeling a lot of pressure to make this something that isn't what you pictured, and isn't what you wanted. That would be frustrating! You really are in the final countdown though. Even though life tends to be crazy in general, at least post-wedding you can fall into a regular pattern. Try to find a way to pamper yourself in the meantime! Now is a good time for it

Breath chica!

You have every reason to be irritated by those issues, especially the Weight Watchers and rehearsal dinner thing. Buuuut, realize that it will be your (and your fiance's) day and even if 25 extra people are at the rehearsal, it will be ok. You will still enjoy yourself bc of the events of the weekend.

Have a glass (or a bottle) of wine. I promise you'll feel a tiny bit better.

Well I just feel like if it CAN go wrong its going wrong and the wedding day isn't even here yet. The closer it gets the more stuff is going wrong! First my dress doesn't fit. I'm praying my seamstress can work miracles and that extending the corset fixes the problem. Then yesterday was awful from start to finish. First my cats put holes in my veil. Then I found out its homecoming dance at my towns high school...aka I'm out of a makeup artist appearantly unless I go to her and possibly out of a hairdresser unless we go to her. My hair dresser is a little more optimistic because she said she hasn't scheduled anyone yet because we haven't confirmed plans but now she may not want to come on site 20 mins away. She was also supposed to attend my wedding as well. Oh and my 2 ushers who have already paid deposits on tuxes are seniors and its their senior homecoming PLUS my flowershop..I already knew they'd scheduled me and another bride for that day and now they have homecoming TOO!? Its a small shop and only 3 women a mom and her 2 daughters work there!!! So yes I totally understand!
