  I'm right there with you! I am sick but I don't have the money to go to the doc. Today I paid 100 to get my dress out of the cleaners, 100 on my shoes, makeup, and gifts for the wedding party. Yesterday I spent 50 or so on more gifts for the wedding party and parents. We STILL haven't moved into our house and are still working on it. We only have 3 more usable days this week to finish the house and move in. Thursday is rehearsal. Friday I get my spray tan. Saturday is the wedding. Oh, and we don't have the extra money to go on a honeymoon after all we have spent lately.

  Oh No! I'm sorry you're going through this. My sister's dress didn't fit her last week either but she's been trying to cut her calorie intake and work out a little more to get down. If it still doesn't fit she's got one the next size up on hold at the Davids Bridal near where the wedding is. How tight is your sister's dress?  If its just a little snug she can cut her calories and lay off the sodium to try and slim down just a little. 

  
  

  Did your pastor and BM give reasons for backing out? Did your pastor offer any options of what you can do/who you could contact for a replacement? Is your service a particular denomination (Lutheran/Baptist etc) or nondenominational? Maybe you can contact other churches in the area of the same denomination if it was that or just look online for officiants if it wasn't a particular denomination. Let your BM know that you will respect her decision but you really want her to be a part of your day since (I'm assuming) she's a good friend/special family member, but ultimately if she would just prefer to be a guest you'd rather have her there than not. 

  
  

  I'll admit it all seems like a lot at the last minute. Maybe you can delegate things out to trusted family and friends to help ease the stress. It will all come together. Chin up hon. It'll be okay. You'll be a beautiful bride and in the end you'll be married to your love.

  I am so sorry you have to go through all of this stress instead of just being able to enjoy your wedding week.  I hope everything works out for you!

  I'm with you.  We've been renovating a house- doing the work ourselves, for the past 9 months and planning the wedding (mostly by myself) for the the past 10 months.  I have so much to get done.  We have 4 days to finish the renovations, get the house set up, move all of our stuff over, finish up wedding stuff (which is a lot of redoing what was already done because FMIL is crazy and keeps changing her tables after placecards are done).  I don't even have a dress to wear on Friday for the rehearsal yet!  And once I unpack everything at the new house we'll need to pack for the honeymoon.
  
  My mom keeps asking about when we're going to have our dining room table delivered and cable hooked up.  Last night I was like "I'm in survival mode until the end of the week.  I'll figure the rest of that out after the honeymoon."
  
  Working full time, renovating a whole house, and planning a wedding all at the same time was not the smartest idea I've ever had.
  
  Hope you feel better by Saturday.  Everything is going to be ok, because in the end you're marrying your FI, so a dress not fitting or a BM stepping down, or in my case a DIY project not getting finished, won't matter in the big picture.  It's just hard for us to see because we're so into the details while planning this day.
