For girls whose weddings are weeks away...

Does the planning REMAIN fun? Are you crazed? Does it all seem impossible? Is there anything you wish you had done already? Just curious... thanks! I want to make sure I stay on track.

Re: For girls whose weddings are weeks away...

It gets more stressful....although I'm told the closer it gets, the more you kind of calm down and just say 'screw it, whatever happens, happens', and I can already see that happening.

I'm frustrated and ticked off and stressed at times, but I'm starting to fall into 'whatever, I don't care anymore' mode.

Some parts are still fun, but then you get to a point where there really isn't all that much left to do. And that's when you jump on here to help others!!

I found the most stressful part of the wedding planning, was the guest list and actually getting the invites out. Along with waiting for the RSVPs since ours seemed SO slow to come! The final 3 weeks (when I was the busiest), I seemed to have been the calmest. I'm usually very high strung and anxious about things, so everyone closest to me thought it was scary how calm I was.

Things just have a way of coming together and getting done. And as much of a control freak as I was about the wedding, there definately comes a point where you have to take a step back and realize that whatever happens is going to happen it is really is out of your control. And somehow you just stay calm (at least I was!)

Re: For girls whose weddings are weeks away...

Im not crazed. Im anxious though.

I still have a lot to do and everyday that passes I get a little more worried that things wont get done the way we want them to. (FH hasnt gotten his band yet, we havent picked our songs, etc) Im nervous about all the attention the day of and all the comments that people may make about things we really worked hard on.

Im more nervous for after the actual wedding.
Are we ever gonna own a home? When will we get pregnant? How will we afford health insurance for an entire family?

I think at this point Im taking the mindset that if it doesnt get done this month, theres nothing I can do about it. I'll just do my best!

I cannot wait til that happens. I think it is already happening for me, as soon as I started with the HM I felt all the other things shouldnt make me so sick

Re: For girls whose weddings are weeks away...

My wedding is 8 weeks away and I am very stressed and very sensitive.

Re: For girls whose weddings are weeks away...

So far, the most stressful part was from about 6 months to the time we got the invitations out. Things have calmed down in the past few weeks. But soon we have the seating charts. I hear those are not fun.

I'm going insane. It's always the LITTLE things that makes you go crazy

Re: For girls whose weddings are weeks away...

I am 18 days away. I am a little stressed, I find myself waking up in the middle of the night thinking about what i still need to do. Thinking about how I am giong to schedule the days before the wedding to get everything done and also get a chance to see all my out of town relatives before the wedding.

Also, i am pretty shy, and I am stressing more now about being the center of attention, which is why I never had a sweet sixteen or a graduation party.

Right now, in a way I am looking forward to it being over and being on my honeymoon.

Don;t get me wrong though, I know I am going to LOVE every minute of the day

I'm with you COMPLETELY on that one. I actually was crying last night at 3am to FH telling him that I can't believe I'm getting so much grief and so much crap put on me from both of our families over something I didn't even want in the first place.

We need a High-Five icon!!!

Re: For girls whose weddings are weeks away...

As I got closer I was feeling a combination of things - I was so ecstatic that I really felt like I was floating yet at the same time, I felt like my head was spinning while being totally unattached to my head.

I ran on total adrenaline - I barely had time to eat, let alone finish everything up for the wedding.

And I loved every minute of it!

Re: For girls whose weddings are weeks away...

I find I keep making list to do
sticky noted everywhere...but...I am at that pont of 'Oh Well' whats done is done, whats not done is not done... It will somehow come together. there are little details i never got too, but int he end it really doesn't matter much!

Re: For girls whose weddings are weeks away...

Being a little over 2 weeks away from my wedding day, my feelings about it go from one extreme to another. Some days, I'm like, 'I don't give a rat's azz what goes wrong, I'm marrying the man I love'. Other days, I cry under all the stress.

Re: For girls whose weddings are weeks away...

I'm beginning to feel some stress lately. The major problem being the invitations. Once those go out I'll feel a tad relieved.

It just seems that you can try to do so much so far in advance but it comes down to all the small things, that you HAVE to wait until the end for, that are the stressors.

It really is just a horrible time. I am trying to look at it (at the advice of married friends) as one more hurdle until the honeymoon FH said that had he known it would be like this he would have agreed to elope in Mexico on 2/19/06 like I was planning. I still have the American Airlines discount cards that they sent for the invites

I'm sure the day will be great and we will not regret it but it would have been far less stressful to just fly off to Mexico and let the 10 - 20 people that wanted to come with make their own arrangements or stay at Royal Hideaway with us.
