20 Days and I'm Freaking Out

meganpow87 · October 2012

Any tips on how get over the small things that pile up at the last minute? I'm very prepared but I beat myself up over small details...UGH! Bride-crazies!

I am sort of freaking over church programs which is ridiculous because its insignificant. So either enlist help or cut things out where necessary, nobody will notice.

The worst is my calendar with all the meetings and appointments. I don't have a free weekend until Dec 15th which is nuts

I'm 13 days away and I'm the exact same way. One minute I'm fine, and then a thought hits me and I start to get anxious. I'm doing what you do Miss, the only things left to do are small things that won't matter if I have them or not and I'm actively asking for help.

I also broke my ankle in May and had to have surgery, long recovery process. I just ended physical therapy on Friday, I'm just trying to get to the point where I can enjoy my wedding and not be in pain.

Your wedding will be amazing no matter what and only you will know the small things that didn't get done or are the way you want them!! Enjoy this time, it only happens once

My tip is to remember that it's only a wedding and it's only one day. Just relax. No one will even pay attention to the small details. As long as you have good food and a good DJ, you're good to go!

I had a spastic day myself... FILs had said they were going to help us out with some stuff, so we (very gratefully mind you) took them at their word, and they have decided to change their minds and give us a 'you get this or that' option. She had offered to rent tablecloths. I thought this was kind of rediculous because you can buy them for much cheaper and not worry about deposits and cleaning them professionally and whatnot. A week later, she finds out just how much it comes to (which she didn't even have all the tables), says that won't work. We find an option online where we can buy ALL the tablecloths and overlays we need for half the rental cost and sell after the wedding to make most of the the money back, that's still too much. They'll do that or keep the rehearsal dinner at the restaurant that took MONTHS of back and forth for them to decide on. Or they help and it goes to heavy appitizers at their house, which we nixed MONTHS ago because of her health, it would be too stressful to have that many people in her house, but it would be catered, which would probably cost just as much as the darn restaurant and there's that whole cleaning up bit. I love my mother, she has been SO amazing and helping us in ANY way she can, and my folks are much less better off than his, and they are bending over backwards to help in any way to make it about what we want, no strings attached. FMIL offered to pay for our wedding night hotel room with their massive amounts of reward points, today it's no, later today it's a yes again but the cost of the room is coming out of what they were giving us as a gift, even though technically it's not costing them anything... his mom is in poor health and her memory has a lot of holes but it makes her very wishy washy on things and is driving me crazy! ;p I'm trying to hold my tounge but it's driving me batty!! If we were better off ourselves we wouldn't need the assistance so we can't really say a whole lot of anything, but it's so frustrating!! FI has hit his limit as well, so it's not just me

On a bright note, I finally have my shoes. Now to add artificial flowers from my bouquet to the flowers on the shoes to tie everything together. Tomorrow is my second fitting

and I'm going ALONE dammit

Yeah me too. I have been fine up until this point. Just thoughts on my to do list and the wedding and I get anxious: not used to feeling like this at all. Makes me very nervous. But tyring to get most everything done. I have my daily planner and everything written out so it makes daily tasks more manageable. I am worried about budget too, although not stressed about it. But this anxiety about the little things is making me so nervous.
