I'm sorry to be annoying AGAIN, BUT I am just NOW organizing a spreadsheet so I have an idea of how much I owe right before the wedding!!! I DID NOT realize how much I would still owe Fox Hollow!! I am now sick to my stomach!!
Now, I understand what you ladies mean when you're excited when you get a NO response!!! OH GEEZ...
My spreadsheet doesn't even include, invites, limos, John's tux, favors... oh my lord, what the heck am I going to do?! I had NO idea!!

Re: HOLY MOLY!!! I'M SICK!!
Dont get yourself sick. Believe me I know what you are talking about. Whenever I owe a large amount of money I get physically sick.
I was out of work for 3 months and I would hate getting out of bed for fear of the day was going to bring me bill collectors and I just didnt want to deal.
BUT I learned to budget, organize, and plan ahead.
Dont stress yourself over it. Just plan ahead and organize. You'll be fine

All along we were keeping track of everything mostly to keep on track of savings goals. Then one day we actually added everything we were spending and OMG my stomach actually dropped to the floor.

Re: HOLY MOLY!!! I'M SICK!!
Now I know that I'm not the only one. Girl....LET-ME-TELL-YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!
The folks at the reception hall gave me a total cost based on 125 people. Well, my guest list has mysteriously grown to 197 people and I REFUSE to calculate what the FINAL cost will be . . .cause I too will be sick.
Find comfort in knowing that there will be some people who just won't show up. Don't freak out just yet!

Re: HOLY MOLY!!! I'M SICK!!
I do the calculation almost everyday plugging in different numbers after I go over my list and pretend to cut people. lol FH got a hold of a calculator a while back and being a boy in all he knew it was expensive but never had a number in mind. After asking the exact amount per plate and the number of people he punched in the numbers and I am not kidding when I say he went white as a ghost. Its all fantasy until you see the bottom line. Crazy!!!

Re: HOLY MOLY!!! I'M SICK!!
I felt the same way but luckily I got my lawsuit money being mailed to me which really made it easy, however, just SAVE SAVE SAVE strictly for the next few months. No shopping, no dinners out etc.

Cheer up! Could be worse! You could BOTh be unemployed! Did that cheer you up? No? Well don't worry, sometimes people end up being very generous and that usually helps to bail you out a bit! Don't stress mon amie!

Re: HOLY MOLY!!! I'M SICK!!
The same thing happened to me. I have since hidden the 'total owed' column on my wedding budget sheet. I cannot take it to see the number

I have been there when I was planning my wedding. I completely freaked and was ready to go to Jamaica. But everything worked out, and it will for you guys too.

Lauren, You're too funny! Don't sweat it! I'm sure you had a budget in mind, it's just so different when it comes to life!!!
Is it wrong that I cry poverty to every vendor, I swear, Long Island is the MOST EXPENSIVE place on earth to get married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure it's all worth it in the end......
