So up until now, my wedding planning has been relatively drama free. Sure at the very beginning there were issues about the city we were getting married in, and the guest list. Those were thankfully solved very quickly.
Well, fast forward to the last week and a half... We are having issues with our liquor license for the wedding. It says we have to stop serving at 10pm. Fine, i got over it and planned to move the party to my parent's house after 10pm. Also with the booze, we have a limit of what we can buy. FH and i went online to see what we could find out. What the person my mom got the license from told her and what it says online are totally different. So we don't know which is right. She's going to talk to them again today.
Number two; my brother is recently separated from his wife, and it wasn't his idea. He's having a really hard time right now. He already has an anxiety disorder and OCD so this is making it worse. To make it even WORSE, he lives in our mom's old condo and she has put it on the market. Apparently my mom is driving him nuts, so he's not talking to her right now. Trying to explain why would take way too long. We are both kind of in contact with our dad (it's been a rough relationship for the both of us for a long tim), and he is trying to talk with my brother. My brother really doesn't want to talk to him... Our dad is not getting the point. So, my brother is not talking to our dad either! He is invited to the wedding, and is coming. Basically, if our parents don't give my brother some space, he won't be coming to my wedding. That would break my heart.
Number three, We have 19 days left and i have so much to do. I feel totally unprepared. Also, we have so much to buy and i don't know where that money is going to come from. I worry about money constantly. It keeps me up at night.
Number four, two of my cousins (who are brothers) have fallen on very hard times. One's (D) business is going bankrupt and he is having to sell his house... The other one's (A) wife was just diagnosed with malignant liver cancer. She's under 40 and has two small children. She started a very successful fitness business about 2 years ago... It's just not fair. On top of all that, D's wife basically said that their kids are too needy right now so she might not be coming to the wedding. They have an 8month old that is breast feeding, and i told her that's not a problem. But they also have a 3 year old that is apparently too needy right now to leave with a sitter. The only sitters they have are family. Two of which are coming to the wedding and she won't leave the kid with anyone else. If she can't get her brother to babysit, she's going to stay home with the kids and her H will come.
Ok, i think that's enough. Thanks to anyone who listened/read
