Ready for it to be OVER!

MeganNN12 · January 2012

Is anyone else getting stressed out and overwhelmed with the last few weeks of planning more like preparation now? I am starting to lose my mind! There is always something new popping up. Just today my FI's mom asked me about getting a runner for the aisle, candles for the candle lighting ceremony (not even sure my FI and I are doing this), and potted plants to add some outdoors inside our ceremony venue. Oh! and don't forget to rent the arch from the florist. SO MUCH to do I think my head is going to explode. I've been meaning to type and print a scheudle for my one year old classroom, but whenever I'm not at work the only thing on my mind is WEDDING!! I am just ready to be MARRIED!!! I want everything to be over! Does anyone else feel this way? Am I crazy?

I feel that way. Totally consumed with wedding stuff. When I wake up, all day, and before I fall asleep. I thought it was just me because I'm planning last minute but it makes me feel better to know it's not just me. We will all get through this and everything will be worth it!

Well, we finally hit that point where the wedding stress boiled over. The cake seems to be getting the best of us.

Still also need to finalize the rest of the honeymoon details, music...*sighs*

MeganNN12 · January 2012

No honeymoon for us as of right now

We are so low on money. Somehow the $800 my parents gave us is gone. The thing that stinks is only a little more than half was actually used for the wedding. Christmas really wiped us out. UGH!

Yeah I wasn't stressed until these last two weeks. People have been telling me that hotels are expensive, but they are waitin until zero hour to get a room when they have known for 2+ years where this wedding was going to be. Thank god my mom is helping me but she is the only one that is. We have had so much happen and going on too; FI's truck was totaled and grandma died, our dog hurt her eye and my sister is having her baby wednesday or Thursday so I'm in crisis mode. These last weeks have been the worst so far.

I feel ya. I've got a bunch of relatives that waited until the last minute to see if they can get off work, make travel arrangements, etc. You've known for the last year when this wedding was going to be.

We had to start calling through our guest list. We started a day early. Went from something like 35 Yes's to 79 Yes's and from something like 30 No's to 60 No's. And most of them fell into the "Of course I'm coming!". It's like why didn't you RSVP then?

I understand with the RSVP thing too. We are not having seating for everyone so exact count is not really needed, but at the funeral people were telling me we are/are not coming, well you couldn't send me the self addressed stamped envelope I sent you? Is that too much to ask?

The better of a count we have he more seating will be available and the better prepared we can be to pay

I'm stressed but mostly due to the fact that I have two terrible wedding coordinators. One at the church and one at the reception venue. They both take forever to return my emails and they also do not answer all the questions I ask. I have EVERY single detail figured out in my head but to make sure these two women are on the same page as me is frustrating. I wish I didn't have to go through these people at all.

Oh and I'm also stressed out about the bachelorette party which is this weekend. My bridesmaid who was the one in charge of it is not doing that great of a job. She emailed me today asking what the final count is so that means I'm the one responsible for making the texts and calls. Ugh.

I had to intervene on my fiancee's party. The maids who were trying to arrange something didn't seem to be doing a good job communicating leaving one wondering if she needed to get a train ticket or not. I think we've got that taken care of. :)

My rsvp date was Jan 1. I still have 55 outstanding rsvps. I'm going to start sending emails today but honestly I kinda hope at least half of them are no. That would put our guest count at 115 which I would be more than happy to have!

No stress just yet. I double checked both my lists this weekend and used the drive home from Vegas yesterday to finalize my ceremony music. I'm feeling pretty on track with everything.

We shall see what next week holds...

awarm014 · January 2012

Fi is making me do the calling now, and I am not excited. He is trying to help, but at this point is making me more stressed, because he just wasted paper, because he put the wrong stack in the printer trying to help me.... GRRR. just ready to be married now.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

km2124 · January 2012

YES! I totally can relate to what everyone is saying... I was like that from about 2 weeks left until 5 days left. Now I am ok, what is done is done, what isn't is just not going to happen. I just want to enjoy the day, friends, and family... at the end of it all, whether the flowers are perfect of the lighting is just right will not matter, I get to marry the man of my dreams...

<div>What a great outlook. When I have 3 days left I hope I can feel the same way, but I doubt I will. </div>

I hit this point last night. We were busy all day trying to get last minute things done around the house before we leave for a week and a half. Finally we both agreed wedding and non-wedding related stuff was done, and what didn't get done would be fine as is. :)

exactly... there just comes a point where it is done (whether everything is done or not). I didn't think I would ever have that "moment" but I did... thank goodness!

Kate504 · January 2012

I'm tired of getting emails and wish I would get a phone call. I haven't heard from our caterer since march and our venue is asking for stuff to make sure we are on the same page with them. i'm thinking it would be nice if we could contact them like you can.

sosie&fangman · January 2012

Since I went back to school today, I have had a terrible feeling that I am forgetting something really imporatnt. Maybe its just not having time to go back and do anything. Maybe it's that I have really forgotten something.Either way, I am starting to freak a bit about only having 4 days left.
