[QUOTE]Im so stressed out, not to mention my Fi house is on the market, Im looking for a new job plus my sisters are my bridesmaids and causing so much trouble for me. Everything is a fight and they are selfish and put me last. My other bridesmaid is scheduling a back surgery 9 days away from the wedding date. Is she insane? I have no one coming to the wedding, 77 ppl declined out of 130. We're paying the highest package with no help from anyone financially, emotionally or any planning. I just want to give up, Im so discusted with everyone, family and friends. I just think this whole process is a joke.

Planning a wedding is very stressful. I think alot of brides would agree with that. But at some point, you have to take a step back and realize that its just one day, and you are marrying the love of your life. You have to remove yourself from the drama and let it roll off your back.

The first statement above is a little bridezilla-ish sounding to me. One of your best friends has to have back surgery, and you are concerned that its scheduled too close to your wedding?? How about the implications that she will have to deal with as a result of the surgery? You are concerned about your day, and she is concerned about how this will affect her life. Put it into perspective.

The second part always bothers me when brides say this. It is your wedding, you decided to get married, therefore its your responsibility to pay for it. If you didnt have the $$, then you should have scaled back and not gotten the "highest package".

Sorry Im trying to delete this thread, but apparently I cant

Girl, you're allowed to vent. I know you've edited this (and if you want a delete, feel free), but venting is okay! In fact, a lot of the boards have FTS Friday (for forget this stuff or something like it :P ) and FFFC (Friday Flame Free Confessions).

I understand your stress. All of my KY family said no- all 30 of them. My uncle had emergency open heart surgery Wednesday- we were married on Friday. A lot of my family (that we had already paid for) missed because they were with him. Also, DH works in a business that changes daily. We had a ton of his coworkers who said they were coming and had to work. We ended up with a very small wedding but paid for 40 people who didn't come. Ouch. It did suck a little when I turned around and saw how empty my side was. But then the attendants surprised me with party poppers and snapped me back into happiness.

Here's the thing. A little over two weeks to go. All of the stress of planning- pulling it together, paying for it, dealing with people more- it all catches up right now. A small wedding doesn't make it bad, it makes it more intimate. I got to spend time with each of my guests, which was awesome. I did have a minor freakout and came thisclose to throwing my cell out the window the morning of the wedding, but once I saw DH it was all worth it.

Feel free to PM me if you need to vent. I hope things calm down for you a little and you can remember to enjoy everything you've worked so hard for.

Thanks, I dont post on here much and was about to ask for a full removal of my account, Im not a bridezilla. But I do have alot going on, way too much in fact. I didnt expect that kind of response and was hurt.
Take care

Not trying to hurt your feelings, just put it into perspective. As I said before, its one day. Your friends and family are there for you for a lifetime. Just relax, take a deep breath, and be happy that you are almost MARRIED!
