    I would say once a week


    I take deep breaths and just lean on God to clear my mind

    Maybe once every few months.  I talk to FI, pray about it and write lists so I can get a handle on what needs to be done and when.

    I get overwhelmed when my planner sends me a list of yet more things I should be aware of or taking care of. Which is like twice a week.

    I get overwhelmed when my folks call to tell me of the people they are inviting to the ceremony who are NOT on the guest list and are not invited to the reception. This happens at least once a week.

    I get overwhelmed when I go through the list of things that still need to be done and it feels like I am not making a dent in things. This happens every other day.

    How do I deal with it? I go to the gym after work, then come home and take a power nap! It makes me feel better :-).

    I get overwhelmed everyday when I think of all that still needs to get done. I get over it by telling myself I still have time and praying.

    Does everyday count right now??? lol

    I started to really feel the pressure to make it perfect once we hit 99days.  FI just takes the laptop away from me for a few hours and tells me that if the guests dont like it that they can eat and leave.. we will still be married.. this always makes me feel better... that and lurking on the other boards watching those chicks go at each other throats... i'm glad we are not like that at ALL...

    I get overwhelmed every week as well. I still have well over 4 months to go but it seems like I don't have enough time at all. It's too busy right now in life to stress so whatever it may be that is stressing me. I roll out on it. Literally I just leave it where it stands.

    I get overwhelmed when I think about all the details I am struggling with. I just pray and my boo gives me lots of hugs. It works...unitl the next time.

    I get overwhelmed a couple of times a month. Its starting to be more often as I get closer to my date.

    When overwhelmed, I say "I quit", close all mags, books, lists, whatever. Then I ignore all wedding stuff until I feel like it. I've gotten into a habit of not doing wedding stuff all the time like I used to.

    Often, not everyday, but anytime I sit down and seriously attempt to work something out I freak.

    How do I get over it. I tell my FI that we are going to the justice of the peace. LOL  Seriously, I talk to one of my Knottie friends that is getting married in July.
     I pray and thank God that he loved me enough to send me Wil and remember that in the end, it's not really about the table numbers or whatever, it's that I'll be married to a really wonderful man and that calms me right down.
