It's almost May, and...

careydes

With 12 days to go, I find that I have started to worry about the most random of things.  Seriously.

Am I worred that the florist won't show up because we never signed a contract?  Not soo much..  I figure not having flowers wouldn't ruin the day...  if I don't have a bouquet, I will just cling to my dad with 2 hands instead of one

But falling down (stairs, or just just randomly tripping over my own feet) and ending up with head to toe bruises?  Yeah, that's something that my brain has determined is quite the possibility.  So I was worried- Until I typed it out right now.

So... go ahead... share your irrational, or very very rational, yet random wedding concerns.  I really think it helps!!

I had a nightmare a while back where for some reason, we ran out of time when I was getting ready and I had to get married with only half of my hair and makeup done. It was literally ONE HALF of my head that looked okay, and the other a mess! lol

I'm worried about seating arrangements. I should have made my RSVP date sooner (it's only 2 weeks before the wedding). 

I'm also worried about falling. I have tall shoes and an outdoor wedding. bad judgement? Perhaps, but... what girl wouldn't sacrifice judgement for shoes?!

I also haven't figured out our arch/overhang at all yet. I want one, and I have an idea, but IDK how we will make it happen.... mer.

TBH though, I'm actually really worried about our HM. The resort where we're staying had a fire last week, and while none of the residential buildings were effected, one of the restaurants was totally lost and so was a bar and the spa. They have a sister resort attached which they are giving everyone full access to, but it's such a bummer

The church our ceremony is at the aisle is stairs so I too have the fear of falling down stairs except mine is during the ceremony I think it will happen!

I woke up from a nap yesterday and thought I had lost my shoes for the wedding...

I literally tore apart our wedding closet looking for the shoe box and FI came in wondering what I was doing. He picked up the white box off the shelf and said, ummm these shoes? Yep, those were the wedding shoes...simply on the shelf in the wedding closet. right in front of my face.

the only thing I am worried about right now is my photographer. She's been hard to get ahold of to talk about anything and because she is an amateur, we didn't sign a contract with her.

this is an old school friend of mine and although she's an amateur and doesn't own a studio, she's incredibly talented and does amazing work. My FI and I just fell in love with the wedding pictures she has done for others. I'm just afraid she won't show up. I think she's just super busy because she's a recently divorced mother of 3 small children but I wish she'd answer a little better and faster.

I know that tons of my friends and family will be there with cameras and would take some for us so I am not allowing myself to freak out about it but it does worry me a little bit.

I am worried that my jewelry/hair/makeup and my dress just won't look the way I want it to, and I won't look "pretty" enough to be a bride. Silly I know since FI thinks I am beautiful without all of that stuff. I think overall I most worried about being disappointed at how my wedding day will turn out. I don't think I have super high expectations just that everything goes as planned and everything looks the way I envisioned, or better.

i didn't go to a baseball game with my FI because I was too scared to get hit by a ball. Even though that is a fear I have all the time, I pretty was sure it was going to happen and since I wouldn't have enough time to get reconstructive surgery before the wedding I didn't go... His brother (who went with him instead) didn't get hit by a ball btw...

i'm running out of money!!!!!!!! we're paying for everything ourselves, and i budgeted WAY enough money to do this, but, as you all know, things come up....like getting a flat tire on the interstate, yay me, and FI stupid jeep breaking down, and so forth...  so, i'm sitting at work figuring paychecks and what to pay with whose check and when and i'm having a small freakout!! i'm 26 days away and i'm losing it! i've really done pretty good until now, but it's hitting me and i don't like it!!! i'm so ready for it to just be here and get over with so we can get back to normal! i'm sooooo excited to get married, i just wish i could grow a money tree.... lol... and really there's only a few things left to pay for, but that is $$ i just can't pull out of the air!! idk... anyways... there's my concerns.....

Bett2012

That people won't do what they RSVPd that they'd do...

That my family will kill FI's family...

little stuff like that 8-|

I went to the Red Sox game on Saturday, and we were sitting not too far back between home and first...  Just after sitting down, one of our friends looked at me and was like, 'wow, I hope you don't get hit by a ball- you only have 2 weeks to go!' That's all it took.  I could hardly talk to anyone for the rest of the game because I was making sure I watched where every ball was at all times :)

Because that is exactly what would happen to me.  :)

I have this fear that no one will know where to go or what they are supposed to be doing, even though both the ceremony and reception are at the same venue.  Like I have nightmares about people just randomly disappearing or not knowing the appropriate time to do things.  I serioulsy picture things getting chaotic...like people trying to find me before the ceremony because they insist of seeing me before the ceremony, someone eating all of the food before dinner so other people go hungry, someone taking my bouquet and handing out all the flowers...nutso stuff that I know would probably never, ever happen, but all these crazy things pop into my head! LOL

ME TOO!!!

I'm worried about my makeup because after my trial not only did FI hate it (which I knew he would and knew how I was going to fix it) but so did my Mom. So now I don't know what I'm going to do about my makeup.

I'm also worried that I'm going to be really disappointed with the wedding. But I blame the hype around having such a "big" wedding.

I'm now also nervous about my MOH. She's been crazy emotional and overracting to stuff lately. She was also SUPER controlling and bossy at my shower as well as whiney at my bachelorette. I hate to say this because she's such a good friend but I'm worried about her ruining my wedding day.

Love it. Glad someone else understand because I was definitely feeling crazy...

candice245

I am too worried that no one will show up!!! That would be the worst thing is one of the vendors being late or not showing up!

caitlinc09

I am flipping out about my makeup right now...I convinced myself I liked the makeup the artist put on top of the makeup I was already wearing (?!) at my consult because she was nice...but the more I reflect the more I realize that she didn't listen to anything I said and was telling me things about the makeup I was wearing that I did not ask her opinion on (like: you shouldn't wear your eyeliner like that. uhhh?). When I look back at the pics she also gave me crazy eyes. Not. Cute. Now if I book someone else somewhere else I will have to have my consult the week of the wedding and that is super risky. 

I am also really paranoid about tripping and falling...we don't have any stairs luckily but we are outside on a golf course for the ceremony and I'm afraid my heels will get stuck in the ground or I will trip over nothing because I'm really clumsy. I never thought about it until FI keeps pointing out lately how much I fall down and run into walls on a regular basis. What if the one time I fall hard enough to break something is at the wedding?? Ugh

hehehe...we are going to a dodger game 2 days before the wedding....and this is the comment many family members have made to each of us!  Who cares (I say this right now b/c I'm excited about the game!) as long as I can watch our Dodgers and have a dodger dog we're good!

I have a fear that  people will bring their kids (other than family) even though they were not to be invited.  Most of our friends have toddlers Charlotte's age and the reception will turn into a big birthday party.  Part if me wants to order a moon bounce just in case. 

Or people will bring random extras and the recption will be shut down from the fire marshall. 

Or that my dress rips in half the day of the wedding. Yes in half. I keep having a dream that I go to put on my dress and it is in two pieces. I know it is just a dream but seriously freaks me out.

kimberlykh

I have a fear that my dress will look ugly or that we won't be able to zip it.
I also fear that I will call FI's family members and friends by the wrong name. 
I also fear that the shuttle we hired to transport the guests from the hotel will get people there late.

Those are currently my top 3.  They change frequently.

ACKHillaryP

I have a fear that I have forgotten something.. like what if we forgot a payment or what if i checked something off the to-do list but didnt do it.. that is so odd i know... but i keep thinking "what if something is slipping my mind" like what if i forget a detail or whatever..... i dunno... now that i type it, it sounds weird..... but i am just scared of fogettin somethin!
