You know what...just take a deep breath because I can guarantee you that everything that needs to get done, will get done. It's good that you wrote everything out on a list so you can prioritize things and start knocking things out. It may seem like a lot right now but you still have 6 months to work on the list....and somehow, someway...it will get done.

I feel this way all the time. Just work on making sure all your big things are knocked off the list one at a time (Rh, ceremony location, dj/band, florist and limo).

The other details, just get to them as you can, b/c its sad to say, but most of the time the guests at the wedding won't notice if they aren't taken care of or not.

you have so much time! I know it doesn't feel like you do - but you really do!!! The time around the holidays is going to fly - but once January comes - the time will slow down to normal pace again.

Try to tackle your list....one thing every day.

What do you have on your list? Can we help with anything? Some of the things probably took you longer to write out than they will take to do!

I know exactly how you feel, I had booked almost all major vendors within 2 months of getting engaged, and sat pretty for a few months. Then, when the 6 month mark hit, I started to get a little freaked out - figuring out all the little details that I said 'oh, I have so much time to get it done'... and of course $!

That is why, today, I got 90% of my BM gifts ordered. Just had to sit down, make decisions, and do it. And I feel a lot better knowing that's off my list. One day at a time!

I was just bitching to Doug's Girl (Carol) about this. Her wedding is two weeks before mine and she's got so much done.

I feel you, though I do have almost a year to go...

Try to relax and just get a little done here and there, you'll be fine! Keep making lists! It will get done!

Seriously, you are in much, much better shape than I am and my wedding is 3 weeks earlier than yours. You'll be fine. I think registering is probably the highest priority item on there. My list would include everything you have on there, and limos and florist and precana and ordering invitations!. You are in great shape!
