My wedding is in a month and a half and there is so much to be done. One of my bridesmaids is acting up and refusing to do things, people are inviting people with them to my wedding and I have to be hunting them down and telling them they can't we are ridiculously over with our guest list, I need to lose the last 20 pounds by 09/07/09, my dress isn't coming until mid to end of august, the aisle runner I ordered looks horrible and most important FH is such a procrastinator. Not one groomsman ordered their suit yet. I mean really how much can a person take. I am about to explode.

Re: Anyone getting frustrated with the wedding?
lol. I'm sure we are not the only ones but wedding planning is so stressful. My birthday is friday, bridal shower in sunday and leaving for jamaica monday (for a funeral but we're staying at a hotel) and I am not excited about any of it. I just want to speed time up so it can be over already.

Re: Anyone getting frustrated with the wedding?
I am right there with you!!
I feel like I still have 500 things to get done, and just no time to get things done.
FH has still not taken the time to get the tuxes done...
My dress comes in tomorrow and I am not ready for it yet!!
My MOH was a pain in the *** about shoes... we went and the other girls found shoes, she didn't. She was being picky, and then decided she wanted to try the ones my BM was getting, but since they didn't have her size, she had to order it... and it took like a week for them to come in. She tried them on and HATED them, and went with the ones she tried on the week before!!!! Which in one sense is FINE because I want her to be comfortable, but at the same time, I could've sent the shoes out for dyeing a WEEK AGO!! Instead, we were waiting on her and she didn't even take those shoes.
And I'm waiting on my favor boxes to arrive... I keep checking the order status, but it says they have been personalized but not shipped since last week!! I just want them to be shipped already so I know they are on their way!
On the bright side, I ordered my slip last week (and was told it'd take 4 weeks to come in ), BUT just got the call that it was in today!!!!! Yaaay!!

Re: Anyone getting frustrated with the wedding?
Yes and I still have some time to go. Last night my FH handed me a list of 17 more guests. I almost lost my mind. When we starting planning the end of May I asked for a list and he gave me a few names and said that was it, his parents were not inviting anyone....Well last night he decides to add 17 more people that his mother wants added to the list. The best is he tells me not to worry because they will say no we are just sending invites out of respect. Now what if they say yes?!!? I was not expecting this and it really boiled my blood because I wanted to go away and get married with immediate family only, he wanted this. It makes me nuts!!! My list is now 138. I wanted no more than 100 max at my wedding. It is early and that I should not get upset but it just makes me so angry. I know that I should expect to receive no's but come on! Obviously I am still a little hot about this

LOL- I had a similar 'addition' issue. Our wedding is being paid for by us, and MY parents.
FMIL doesn't have much, but wants to contribute towards some part, so I believe she is doing the whole rehearsal dinner, and perhaps something else as well.
FFIL and FSMIL have put NOTHING towards this wedding.
When we discussed inviting our parents' friends, my parents had a total of 6 people. FMIL had a total of 4 people. FFIL and FSMIL had a list of 16 people!!!!!!!!! I told him that we cannot afford to add that many more people (esp since they were not contributing anything as of yet).
I had FH tell them that we CANNOT add that many people without some financial help from them. They have offered a certain amount, but 'do not have it yet'. Basically, to avoid an issue, I am going along my planning as if those 16 people were not a part of it, until I see that money.

Re: Anyone getting frustrated with the wedding?
I am so tempted to do that but FH would probably have a fit. We are paying for our wedding on our own with no help from either side. I tell it really makes me angry. As we get closer and time for the save the dates to go out that list better not grow an it can't because our room hold max 140 and I am not crowded people in that room.

Re: Anyone getting frustrated with the wedding?
OMG! My FH and I have been having the SAME EXACT fight for months!!! I orginally wanted to just go away and have a small wedding but my FH told me he wanted certain people there and he wanted to have a big wedding. We're both Italian so I started planning for a semi big wedding. I told my parents and his parents they can have a certain amount of guests and my FH and I get a certain amount. Both sets of parents are giving a certain amount of money and then we have to pay for the rest of the wedding. Their contribution pretty much pays for the wedding, IF we stay within the minimum 225 for our RH. WELL, I told the parents that they should try to keep it to about 80-90 people. They came back with a list of AT LEAST 110!!! My FH told me don't worry about it because a lot of them won't come so we'll be ok. My parents made a deal with me that if they go over the amount that we gave them, then they will pay for those heads. I told my FH, if his parents do that they they can invite a little more but NOT 20-30 more people! It's INSANE!!!! I went from having a small wedding on an island somewhere to his ENTIRE family being invited. Ok, my biggest problem is that his family doesn't even talk to half of their family and my FH doesn't even know who half of the invited people are!!!! AND HIS MOM INVITED THE HAIR DRESSER!!!!
Ok I'm done venting but I have to say I feel your pain!!!!!
