I give up..

You know when you watch a show and a woman is in labor and is so exhausted by everything she decides she gives up and wants to go home.  That's me.  I give up.  All this wedding stuff is driving me insane.  I feel like it is spirling out of control and it's all about everyone else right now.  Sticking up for myself and trying to get things the way I want them seems to be an uphill battle.  At this point, nothing is how I imagined it to be and I feel really annoyed.  I was talking to FMIL on the phone and she said, "I hear a lot of 'I want, I want, I want' right now.  Are you going to stomp your foot and throw a fit too?  It's not all about you."  Frustrated.  Annoyed.  Overwhelmed.  Exhausted.  Vent complete.

    Once it's all over, you'll wonder why you spent so much time and money planning because you just won't care anymore. Deep breaths...you're almost there.

    I started to feel that way at one point...I just took a step back and even told FI that we will not talk about anything wedding related one weeked (2 weeks b4 the wedding). I dont think we followed through...haha..but at least the effort was helpful.just refocus and just think about about that you are GETTING  MARRIED and about your future husband!!!!  The above advice is right..it really wont matter afterwards.oh yea..madiroo and mrsschuzle (sp?) told me to let that frustration and crazy out into your pillow!!! it helped as well!

    Yep, let it out in your pillow and remember that you will make it and when it's all over you'll be MARRIED!!  That's the important thing....people (not you, just people) get caught up in the little things/details/drama/etc and forget the end goal--beginning your life with your new husband.FMIL is WRONG though, it IS all about you--you're the freakin' bride so if you want something (assuming you're not being bridezilla and/or ridiculous in your wants lol) it's okay to say that.  I think we (women) are so use to putting others first that when it's time to focus on us for once, we don't know how to handle it and other people think we've gone crazy.  Okay, I'll step off my soap box now :o)Let it out, focus on the goal and ignore all mean/annoying/stupid/obnoxious/etc people :o)

    Maybe you should invest in a nice set of darts and practise your aim on a photo of FMIL....  Obviously she has forgotten its YOUR wedding day, you should have what you want. Get excited you're so close to marrying your dude! Focus on that and I'm sure the little details will fall into place. Just dont stress...(I know I dont have much experience yet beucase I"m still 9 months out)

    Agreed. Your FMIL is WRONG. It is about you, and some people have a VERY difficult time in taking a back seat.
