annoyed, stressed, overwhelmed.

my wedding is six months from tomorrow.

i have most of the stuff booked.  but i haven't looked at wedding things for weeks.  my first dress shopping appointment is this weekend.

my fiancee and i live three hours away from our hometown and our parents insisted we have the wedding there, but since all the people we're working with are THERE instead of HERE, it's hard for me to get to them and see their crap and talk to them face to face.  i work full time and since i'm taking time off for my wedding in november it's hard to justify taking days off here and there to go look at flowers and other wedding things.

it makes me feel really indifferent.  our parents are well off, and want us to have a wonderful wedding.  of course, we want that too, i am just frankly a little overwhelmed with the planning of it.  i hate that we're so far away.  i don't really do well with planning things.  i don't really know where to start.  i feel like i should be really kicking it into high gear at this point, but mostly i'm just sitting here, and thinking, "meh."

whatever, eh?

    I planned my wedding from 4 hours away, all you have to do is make the necessary appointments for weekends you can go home, and just kind of bang them all out at once. For instance, 2 months out, I planned my hair and makeup trial, and first fitting all in one weekend. We met with the florist and dj in another trip home. 

    Even then, you should be able to handle a lot over the phone and email. I'd say 85% of our wedding was planned over phone and email. Don't worry!

    I'm also from the midwest, and I can tell you that all of my wedding bookings (caterer, dj, florist, cake maker/baker whatev) don't even ask for final plans until 30 days to 2 weeks out.  They want all of the plans to be done close to the day anyway.  You will be fine. :)  Just make sure you can find caterers/djs/florists etc. who aren't booked for your day. That takes some phone calls.  And then you can do the rest last minute (in this case, last minute = 30 days before).  No biggie. 
    The only people who were picky were the dress ladies.  And if you fit most sizes in the wedding shop, I wouldn't worry about that either.  It just takes a little while for orders.
