So, how's everyone feeling?

Some are really close (this weekend!) But, we are now in October, so it's the home stretch for everyone.

What's on your minds? How's everything? Are you all ready??

Mostly ready. I vacillate between extreme excitement and panic several times a day, with the panic being over the little things. The hardest thing is realizing I can't manage everything. But I can't wait.

How about you?

I'm feeling pretty good! I have to write the escort cards and make the table letters yet.

Last night I wrapped WP gifts and wrote them notes; I packed the box of stuff that's going with me when I leave next week for my parents' house. Yesterday I finalised (I think) the table assignments for the reception (emphasis on 'I think' because my mom's friend called Mom yesterday and said she might want to bring a date. Not that she's sure or anything and the wedding is 10 days away.) I emailed both seating chart options to the venue co-ordinator yesterday afternoon. I have to print and fold the programs yet (next week's project), and that's about it.

Until I forget something else!

It has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Last week I started having a panic attack about getting married! WTH? I am so nervous and starting questioning everything. I spoke with my Aunts new husband last night and he said that is normal. He said you are making a commitment and that is a big deal. He said the commitment is to you yourself to be the best spouse you can be at all times. Well that really touched me and did calm my nerves a bit. Just tying up the loose ends now! So much joy going on for all of us and I have been wrapped up in negativity. I am turning a new leaf over and super excited about my future as a Mrs!!!

I'm getting over a cold that flattened me on Monday- stupid stress taking down my immune system! @lfk2013, I hear you on the panic/excitement cycle. I am fabricating a cake stand this weekend and starting on seating chart/escort cards and programs. Centerpieces need some finishing touches. I have my final dress fitting on Columbus Day. My bachelorette party is tomorrow and it will be low key, something I absolutely need right now. Everything is coming together and my friends and family have been great at talking me off the ledge when I get overwhelmed. We're also having family and neighbors over for dinner on Sunday for the first time, which is exciting and a teeny bit stressful. We're frying a turkey (wedding gift that FI can't wait to use), so hopefully the house doesn't burn down and we cook the meat well enough not to kill anyone. I'm grateful that I stil have 23 days to go and while I want the wedding to get here ASAP, I also need time to slow down a wee bit so I get it all done!

@vainemerald - I did the same thing a few weeks ago. My mom listened and talked me down. I still feel overwhelmed at times from all the "what ifs" that pop up.

@prettybirdy27 - Good thing about the park!!

Except for my farmer tan I am pretty much ready. Finalizing the timeline with the DJ tonight and then it's just the little things ( hopefully)

Couldn't have summarized it better myself! That back and forth uber-excitement and stomach flip panic... and always over silly moments! And absolutely, the hard thing is having to delegate and having to step back and let things pan out sometimes. Right on, cheers and good luck to you guys!

So, how's everyone feeling?
