16 more days,,,

Ok, so I'm know I'm not very active on this board. I'm much more of a lurker. I just wanted to spill a little bit to women who would understand.

For awhile now, I've been wishing this would all be over, the planning, the wedding, the drama. Now, I just want to get married. I want to see him when I come down the aisle with my dad, with all our friend's and family, and be made HIS wife. That's what's important, right?

I've been planning this wedding for a year and half now, and it's hard to believe it's about to come to an end. Would I change anything? A few things... our photographer worries me, the decision not to do a video, wondering if my desire to stay in this "budget" that was set is going to kick me in the end.

I did SO many things DIY, or figured out a way to cut corners. I made my own centerpieces, I hemmed my own dress, I made my headpiece(not wearing a veil). Our caterer is fantastic and has been awesome! Our venue, and everyone there as been great. Every single person I have dealt with in the last year of planning has been amazing. Our friends... one is our officiant, one is a baker who is doing our cake, one is a DJ... It's because of all these people that I am going to have a wedding I can be proud of, under $10,000! It can be done!

I promise when everything is over, I will come back with reviews on every single vendor I have dealt with. In the meantime, should anyone like to know WHO, for the own budget , message me. Until then, I wish all the brides here luck, stand your ground, enjoy, don't stress. In the end, it's you and him :)  Thanks for listening.

    You should be very proud of yourself. I agree with you the stress that people put on themselves is so wrong. Remember this about your love and sharing it with all the people you love and who love you. The rest is just not that important in the big scheme of things.

    Enjoy each and every minute. It will go by so fast. May you have a happy and healthy life together.

    I'm 6 days away so i overstand how you are feeling! Best of luck...I just keep reminding myself that it is about us not about all the other drama that other people want to make yours! At this point I have stopped answering my phone and only return calls from those who leave a message to ensure that it is not more drama because trust me it does not get any better so close to the date!
