The Uncontrollable

It's a Friday and I was wondering if anyone else was crazy like me.

Is anyone else stalking the weather forecasts for you ceremony? My ceremony is still a month out, but I still check every day. Haha. Now that everything is taken care of, but centerpieces, I've been left with a void of things to do. Thus, I've been focusing on the uncontrollable! I'm not really concerned as my ceremony is indoors, but everyday I check. It's so pointless, the weather can change so much in this amount of time. *sigh* 

Is anyone else focusing on things you can't control? Like the weather?

    That sounds like a recipe for unnecessary stress. I don't know where you live, but where I live, around this time of year I can pretty safely bet the weather in a month is going to be "grey and shitty." But, then, that's the Midwest for ya.

    I would be excited if the leaves stayed on the trees for the week of my wedding next year. That's about it.

    I'm focused on my fatigue going away and being able to start working out. I'm so impatient and I'm going BSC over here!

    OOoooohhhh my god this is me. Except, in addition to stressing over the uncontrollable (please, please let the heatwave break next week...) I just keep making ridiculous and unnecessary crafts. Or I just open my table seating spreadsheet and stare at it. Or I just keep making chocolates and cookies to stuff in my welcome bags, which already have a calorie count of approximately 5,000. I JUST WANT THE WEDDING WEEKEND TO GET HERE ALREADY!

    I have just begun checking the weather forcast, but it is still too early to be very accurate. Our ceremony is outdoors, but we have an indoor backup if it is chilly, so I am not too stressed. Actually, on the day of, I bet I will give exactlynofucks about it.

    Exactly! But I just feel like I have to do something. You know?

    My wedding is next weekend and I'm checking the weather twice a day. Last night, there was a high likelihood of rain. This morning, no rain but much colder.

    I'm checking like crazy because I'm not excited about our indoor option.

    I keep thinking about ridiculous new craft projects too but haven't gotten too out of control. My biggest craziness is around table assignments. I can't get them to work out and now learned that a group of 3 may not be able to make it, throwing off the table they're supposed to be at. I'm not sure why this stresses me so much!

    Funnily enough, the weather thing was my dad in the 3 weeks leading up to the wedding. The man (who is a self-admitted weather nerd) started texting me daily weather updates, accompanied by an emoticon to express his pleasure or annoyance at that particular day's forecast. I love my dad, but boy did that get annoying!

    The day of our wedding we ended up moving the ceremony indoors at the heat index hit 100 and we didn't want people to die. And I'm just as married indoors as I would have been outdoors!

    @jenijoyk I do feel you with the seating chart though. Even after we finalized it, I just kept staring at it. What did I think it was going to do? No idea, but I could not help it!

    I know! There is nothing to do! And I don't even dislike it. I just keep staring thinking, "If SOMEONE was going to no-show, who would it be???" Or "If XX was a total dick, and brought his kids, even though I told him no kids, where would they sit?"

    Totally worthless use of my time. But... Cannot. Stop.

    Also this! I talked so much snark about a summer wedding we went to last year, where it was 104 degrees and the ceremony was outdoors. My FI was a groomsman, in a black wool tux, and I was so afraid he was going to passout during the ceremony. I complained about that crap forever. And never thought my mid-October wedding would be the same deal... yet here I am! With groomsmen in tuxes! And right now it's in the mid-90s! Whaaaaattt! Karma. For talking so much sh!t last year.
