My (sort of) Bridezilla moment.

Well, I knew one would have to come around eventually, right? ;)It's "sort of" because it's not wedding related, but totally wedding STRESS related.I'm 31 days out and am feeling the pinch.  This morning, I was running late - as usual - and FI was laying in bed.  So I asked him if he could iron my shirt for me.  He whined a bit because he HATES ironing my shirts because he says they're too small to iron. ha!  So he gets out of bed anyway and goes downstairs to iron my shirt for me while I did my hair.  (The rest of this is going to sound COMPLETELY biitchy...)He brings the "finished" shirt upstairs and I'm like OH. GOD.  He hadn't even ironed the sleeves!!!  So I asked him if the iron was still on, because apparently I was going to have to finish it myself and I wanted to make sure the iron was still hot.  He huffs and puffs back downstairs to finish it up.  But, honestly, he might as well just not have because it was still wrinkled when I went downstairs to put it on.  It just irritated me because he'd be PISSED if I half-a$$ed one of his shirts that he asked me to iron...nor would he ever leave his own shirt as wrinkled as he left mine.Anyway - I know I should appreciate the fact that he was willing to try to help me..... I was just pissed that after all that, I had to iron it myself anyway.Sorry if that came off whiney and ungreatful.  I know that I threw an unnecessary tantrum this morning.  I'm blaming wedding stress.

    I hear ya!  My FI's been stressed with work and I told him he needed to check his attitude at the door b/c I was over him whining all the time.  He says, "But it makes me feel better to tell you how my day went."  And I say, "Well is it benefitting me?"  He goes "No" and I say, "Well then it's not helping."  Boy is that not bitchy?!?!  I'm blaming it on wedding stress, applying for grad school, and work stress!!!

    You are such a whiny bridezilla! J/K I completely understand the stress thing getting to you. Honestly, all you can do is take a deep breath and realize it will all be worth it soon enough (31 days!) Hopefully Brad realizes everything you're doing to get ready for the wedding and takes your whiney attitude in stride. lol Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you! (for once!!)

    Understand about the stress. I am 38 days out and feeling the crunch coming. Last week it was guest issues, or rather those hurt by not being invited. Although I did have a Bridezilla moment at the jeweler's last week when they decided to take out a word in FI wedding ring inscription without asking (the inscription didn't fit as written)! Hang in there! Calmly tell FI that you appreciated his help even though you weren't yourself.

    Just wait until you are close to single digits! We were both extremely mean to each other over a few things last night and both sat back and realized that no matter what we are doing, we are still getting married next week. We still havent even printed the programs, and at this point, I dont care if they are done or not. (I am sure they will be done, but I am no longer going to stress about it.) Keep your head up! you are organized and everything will be great!

    Erin - I feel for you.  Strangely, I don't feel as stressed as I probably should be right now.  We are only 46 days out and I feel as if I should be doing more.  But, I figure it will get done eventually.  Sometimes guys can be a pain when you ask them to do something for you.  They whine and cry about having to do it, yet when they ask YOU to do something, you better do it with a smile.PLEASE let me know if I can do anything to help you through the next 30 days.  Hugs!!

    I'm hoping that the final week will be okay since my family will be in town and staying with us.  I'm also hoping to have everything done by next week that needs to be "made" and then I can worry about the organization of the "events" at the end.  I think I need sex. hahaha
