Ah... i'm going to do the craziest thing..
Its about 2 months to my wedding, I'm taking a new job offer and moving to another group internal to my company!!
The perks are its closer to my house and I don't have to take the subway! and I don't have to deal w/ my current boss who was driving me nuts.
The quirks are its a new job right before my wedding! they've been pretty understanding abt taking 2 weeks off for my wedding. But the rest of the stuff needs to be done during the weeknights or on the weekends.
AM I CRAZY 2 DO THIS NOW?

I'm really stressing out... I was OOT tues-sun and now that I'm back at work I feel like my day is shot w/ my commute from NYC. This weekend is like my last chance to get stuff done while I'm in NY, since my bach party is the following weekend and then i fly backmy mom, a BM and I all have fittings saturday, plus we're meeting with the florist again to firm up our plans.
i ordered our ketubah but didnt fill out the personalizaton form yet. i still need to order ribbon for our favors, and finalize our programs, and pick out yarmulkes and songs and everything else.
im freaking out that there are only 9 weeks left.

I was incredibly stressed out about the date we were sending them out, but the people who made our invitations assured me that we were fine with time, since 'etiquette says 6-8 weeks before the event'...FH calmed me down too...when you think about it, it really shouldn't take people that long to respond...and, if you happened to send out a save the date, you bought yourself plenty of time with that!
no stressing ladies...otherwise you'll stress me out
