My family has decided that with six days until the wedding they need to make changes and it is really stressing me out : /My mom has taken over decor and is buying things that I didn't plan on using and my brother is trying to line up a DJ even though we had already downloaded songs and reserved a PA system...I know that they are just trying to be helpful and everything, but did they have to wait until 6 days until the wedding?

    I hear ya!! :) We are so close. Just let them do whatever they want -as long as you approve- and remember that you will be married at the end of the day and that's all that matters!! Keep that advice handy because I may need you to tell me that in a few days.

    Is your brother paying for the DJ? If so, I would just say hey here is a list of songs we want played and let that go. If not, tell your brother you're not paying for a DJ and then he'll just be wasting his time and he'll look like an idiot/be responsible for any screwups as far as that is concerned.Sorry to hear about your mom...that is frustrating...if she is paying for it just let her do it and if you don't use it don't feel bad since she didn't feel the need to include you in on her decision to buy stuff you didn't ask for/need.

    That's usually how it goes.  My MIL pulled some things like that right before, too.  Hey, at least your mom is the one buying the stuff and not you, right?

    Yea, I'm just pretty much letting them do what they want - I'm sure everything will turn out fine, and I'm glad that they are eager to help, it's just making me antsy.My mom is paying for the decor stuff, so I'm letting her do what she wants. The DJ stuff just starting being talked about today, so I'm not sure how that's going to work out. It really would be kind of nice if we could get a nice DJ for an inexpensive price. I just felt like everything was planned so the curveballs are making me get a little stresed out.

    DJ booked, PA system cancelled, now I just need to get with the DJ and give him our song selections...I doubt he'll have the Texas country songs, good thing that we already downloaded them.

    I sympathize :)  It'll all be over soon.  Feel free to put your foot down on things when you have the energy to fight, but you'll probably remember more about how the wedding made you feel than the actual details of some things.  I don't remember some of the decorations my mom put up, but I do remember that my general feeling was relief about it almost being over because I was sick of fighting every input from my mom that I didn't like.

    That happened to us as well, my in-laws decided to book us a limo the day before the wedding.  It wasn't really my thing, but I know they were just trying to help so we said thank you and moved on.Hopefully you can just hand a flash drive over to the DJ with your special music on it and that will be one less thing for you to worry about.6 days??!!!  Yay for you!

    Oh yeah, my family totally steamrolled me the week before the wedding, trying to be, um, helpful. I agree with the other ladies- hang in there but put your foot down where it really matters or if they are spending your money and you don't want to. Good luck- you are almost there!
