so i just had to post something. I feel a little overwhelmed-4 months away. I wanted to know if anyone else is feeling this way--I worry no ones gonna like the food or the music I pick. Something will go wrong the day of the wedding like the pastor is a no show or we have no transportation. I'm not an organized person-i feel my FMIL is just waiting for something to fall through the cracks. I just feel stressed-- I can only imagine what i will feel like a week from the wedding. I got my invitations the font color doesnt match my wedding invitation belly band. It doesnt bother me, but I just feel my FMIL is going to say ohh that doesnt match. I know Im rambling, Ive changed my centerpieces 3 times because I want people to like them and not try to suggest something else because I don't have a theme. I don't care to have a theme. Anyways sorry I just had to get this out. I thought you brides to be would be most understanding.
Re: untitled
I might suggest looking at the style me pretty spreadsheets for planning or some google ones.
Lastly, *hugs* sit down, relax and drink a glass of wine. Sometimes you need to veg out.
As for your FMIL, she sounds like one of those people who are never pleased and always have sh*t to say unfortunately. Sooo sadly you won't do everything perfect in her eyes. But it can be the wedding of YOUR dreams. The wedding is about you and your FI, not her. She and all the other guests should be focused only on the joy of your day, not color schemes and centerpieces. Breathe! You get to marry your Prince Charming regardless so once you see the rest as just fluff on top of that, it all seems not worth getting so worked up over. BIG HUGS, girl! You'll get there! (and feel free to keep us posted...it helps to talk to ladies going through the same thing).
[QUOTE]***hugs*** It's totally normal to feel that way but don't let it consume you. Feel it and then kick it in the butt! Make a list and accomplish something... the rush you get from that check will lead you into the next. You still have time so try to breathe and try not to let other people's opinions suck the joy outta this for you!

I second this!!!!! And don't be afraid to take a little break as well. I had a huge wedding overload a few weeks back and FI made me take a break from it. At first I thought he was crazy but it really did help :)
If you can read "A Practical Wedding:Creative Ideas for Planning a Beautiful, Affordable, and Meaningful Celebration" It saved me!!!!!!! It really puts everything back in perspective, and is a quick read (I read it in a day)
