August 2012 Weddings

And now we're moving!%#@!

So last week I told you ladies about our officiant canceling on us while we were on our way to apply for our marriage license. 

Luckily he lined up a replacement for us, so that ended up being only disappointing instead of a problem.

That was Tuesday, on Thursday ( 1 month to go!) as I'm leaving work to come home and get ready for my bachelorette party I get a text from my FI that says "I've been promoted."  The job that his boss told him he wasn't being considered for back in May is now his.  Which means we have to move to Long Island...a week after our honeymoon.

Don't get me wrong I'm so excited for this opportunity and that his boss's have such faith in him.  It's just a lot to do.  Now in addition to finishing the wedding planning and actually getting married and packing for a honeymoon in England that we can't postpone because the plane tickets are non-refundable.  We have to find a place on LI and pack up the house and move by September first.

I might have had a slight panic attack over the logistics the next month will require and a few stiff drinks at my BP (which was awesome!) but I'm ready to tackle this with him. 

I just might need another cocktail.

  • Where in LI? Maybe I can offer some suggestions. Will you be working after you move? Are you looking to rent or buy? It will all get done just breathe!:)

  • Would it be possible for your FI to move, and you to stay behind (even for a few days) to finish up the moving stuff?  That way you have a little more time!  When my FI got a new job they paid for all moving expenses, so maybe your FI could convince them to pay for a hotel room for him for a week or two?
  • Oh wow, I really feel for you here! I could not even imagine how stressed I would be if I was planning my wedding AND a move!! AAH talk about ANXIETY!!!

    You are brave my lady. Good luck to you, make sure you keep in touch and let us know how it goes!
  • I'm moving this friday.... two weeks before the wedding.

    So yeah, I get how that can totally suck.

  • Good luck with everything! What a great new opportunity for your future husband. Just try to remind each other that you are 100% in love, when all the real life stuff/ stress keeps sucking you down.

  • Our lease on our place in CT is up Sept. 1st, our landlord is really awesome so maybe he would give us an extra week to get things settled.

    We moved to CT from LI because of his job last August, so we are already familiar with the drill with them paying for the movers, etc. 

    Thanks for the advice,  just breathe.

    Good Luck with all your weddings!

  • I'm excited for your FI's new opportunity!  Hopefully lots of friends and family will be offering help on the planning/move!  Glad to hear you have a great landlord.  Congrats and I love your positive attitude!
  • That's awesome that he got a promotion!!! and I feel ya on the moving! FI & I just moved into our own place a little over 2 weeks ago - amidst all the planning for the wedding. At least you'll be coming home from your honeymoon and THEN moving instead of during all the craziness!

  • We're moving across the country a week after we get back from the honeymoon, too.  But at least we've known for awhile!  I can't imagine it being a surprise at this point!  Hang in there, get as organized as you can, and save the rest for after the wedding.
