Anyone else freaking out? Let your crazy out.

em105 · August 2012

Um... Sooo... 3 1/2 weeks until we get married and I'm finding mysel fhaving periodic freakouts- I'm sure I"m not alone. This thread is letting some of the crazy out.

I'll start:

I'm terrified that our venue will look too empty for our number of guests. NOBODY is bringing a +1 so consequently that means that our 75-100 person wedding is just cresting 75... I'm scared the room will look too empty.

I'm scared I won't finish my veil in time.

I'm worried that my hair and makeup lady sucks.

I'm afraid that there's something HUGE that I'm forgetting- like to invite my sister or get an officiant or something. (Yes, I've done these things.)

I feel like I'm done planning but majorly freaking out that two days before I'll be like "OMG crap, I forgot something HUGE!"

And as trivial as it seems sometimes, I am doing my own makeup, and everyday when getting ready for work I practice my eyes (not heavy but still do the general scheme) and even with primer it never seems to set. It always fades away, turns ugly tones of the color, and eyeliner gets in the crease of my eye. My eyes are my favorite part and I just want them to look good. Ahhhh, I won't have a chance to look in the mirror after the whole shebang starts anyway, so whatever haha!

I am mainly just super excited and can't wait for the "Big Day" I have had a couple of wedding nightmare dreams this week though and that kind of freaked me out a little but I know I have everything major planned. I am trying to just go with the flow of everything and hope that all goes as planned and not freak out if something doesn't quite go the way I hoped of planned for originally. I can't believe I am getting married in just 3 and a 1/2 weeks. EEEK!!!!

I am 10 days away from the big day!!! I freaked out starting about the 1 month mark, and now the freak out is gone and the emotions are in full effect.

Your crazy will subside a little more, the closer you get. You will realize whatever happens....happens. The end result will be the same no matter what happens or who is there. You will be marrying the one you love!!!!!!!!!!

Deep Breathes Ladies!!!!!!!!

Somedays I'm good and other days I'm a mess. I feel the same as you ladies, what if my hair looks like crap? What if make up looks sloppy? what if, what if, what if! I haven't had any wedding nightmares yet (knock on wood) but I do wake up in the middle of the night thinking about stuff I have to buy or do etc;

Smooch711 · August 2012

I'm 24 days out. At this point, I have days where I'm really calm, and then there are days when I'm a basketcase thinking about everything. Naturally, I'm a worrier, so my wedding. . . takes it up a few notches. I wish I could just calm down and realize that what will be will be. We are getting married and that's the most important thing.

Otherwise, I stress that as of now we have no wedding rings and no transportation (still debating whether we really need a limo or not. We might be able to get away with a town car for the day)

Mainly, I'm just stressing over all the logistics. Who is going where, do they know directions, will we have time for this. . .ETC, ETC, ETC.

And, I'll add that I'm just worried that I won't fully enjoy the day. I'll be too busy overthinking everything and worrying. Need to let everything go!!!

I wouldn't say I'm freaking out but I just realize it's time to start finalizing everything...

I was never worried about our venue looking empty until you said that Em. We were expecting so many people to come but with last minute changes in schedules, etc. a LOT more people are declining then we thought. We are also missing a lot of RSVPs and the deadline is Monday. I'm not looking forward to hunting people down just to hear them say "no."

I was supposed to have the music finalized last week but life has gotten in the way and it's looking more like next week. I also have to start making escort cards, table decorations, make a cardbox, etc. etc. etc.

FI said that my job today is to make a list of everything we need to do from now up until the wedding both wedding and honeymoon related. I'm dreading this because right now I'm pretty calm but I think once I see a huge list in front of me I might be hopping on the crazy train.

Hi, I'm an August 11 Bride, and I was like this. On the day of the wedding I just let EVERYTHING go. Worry about nothing but getting married.

If you're concerned you're possibly forgetting anything.. MAKE A LIST. Sit down and make a list of everythingyou have done/need to do, etc.

I did this on my BIO and color coded things I still had to do. GL!

I'm getting married in 3 and a half weeks too (holy cow that is scary to say!) ... but I'm totally with you all and semi-freaking out. It comes in waves ... sometime I feel really calm like everything is done, and other times I feel like there are a million things I keep saying I'll do and just haven't done yet! Sorting through the music, finalizing the playlist for dancing and dinner, cake topper (??), buying the rest of BMs gifts, telling FI's grandmother what we want for cake (her cakes are awesome!), walking around in my shoes, finalizing the ceremony. And then just when I feel calm I talk to my mom and she is freaking out about how my OOT family is getting to the wedding. She's trying to arrange carpools and coordinate who can take my grandparents .. AHHH I can't worry about how people are getting there! They are grownups! As wonderful and helpful as she is ... sometimes she worries about stuff we don't need to worry about and that stresses me out more!

And can we talk about the nightmares?! I've always been a vivid dreamer and somehow planning this wedding has created the weirdest dreams ever .. one involved a best man missing the rehearsal and a hot pink veil, and another involved my MOH not helping me pee, my dad wearing a t-shirt to walk me down the aisle and then leading all our guests in song.

Can this planning thing please be over? I just want to be married and have life go back to normal!

Like a lot of other posters, some days I'm completely fine, others I'm stressed out. So much of what is left to do is dependent on other people getting me the things I need. I'm a bit of a control freak so this is a little hard to handle.

Besides that, I just have a bunch of really small things that need to get done. SO CLOSE!!

jamie5482 · August 2012

I'm mostly not freaking out but I think that's because I'm kinda over it. I'm ready to be done and married and the rest kinda doesn't matter to me as much anymore. I'm tired!

I have had wedding dreams and if they wake me up in the middle of the night sometimes my brain just goes into list mode of all that's left to do (I normally do that anyway when I wake up in the middle of the night though). Last night I had a dream that my parents were in my hotel room to say hi the night before the wedding. It was so strange because I hugged and said hi to everyone except my mom so it's like she was there but not? (This probably has something to do with her not actually being able to be there at the wedding due to her dementia so I guess my subconcious is working that out or whatever).

morenachica110 · August 2012

I'm having my moments. I still have some big things to do like my final dress fitting, seating chart, timeline, track down the people who didn't rsvp (UGH!), final vendor payments... stuff like that.

I've practiced my makeup plenty of times (doing my own), and I'm happy with it, but I'm worried on the day of I'll do a crappy job. But I don't have the money for a MUA so that's out. Becka1126, try using Urban Decay's Eye Potion Primer. It's AMAZING. You're eye makeup won't go anywhere. I used to use some cheap brand I found before, but since I've found that, its the only thing I'll use.

I also have a fear of it being, oh... the day before, and realizing that I missed something HUGE. I've been trying to make lists, but I just can't shake that feeling.

Hi Dawnie!

URIsweethearts · August 2012

23 days to go here. i had a meltdown monday night. we are having family friends help us with the flowers and they just threw me for a loop. gave me like 10 more things to do - which doesn't seem like a lot but when you have like 8 million things to do - 10 more is too many. i am feeling OK with things that need to get done. we did a lot this winter so we could enjoy summer somewhat. i feel like its all going to go so fast, for all the planning and stress this is. in a weird way, i will probably miss this. i will be back at work and be like ugh, this is it.

thousandtrees · August 2012

The other night I had a nightmare that I'd forgot to write my vows and had to just get up there and wing it. When I woke up, I had to get out of bed and count paper flowers because I got paranoid that we didn't have the right amount. My crazy is not even below the surface any more.

becka1126 · August 2012

Morena-I use that exact same primer. At first it was great and now back to crap

IDK I'll figure something out. I've been playing with different colors and brands. I bought a Lorac eyeshadow set and trying different colors. Nothings working out quite how I want it to.

Loveyk · August 2012

@Becka try toofaced primer, then try urban decays all nighter setting spray!
