I feel like going into a corner, rocking back n forth saying 'When will the lambs stop screaming?'

i am 32 days away from the big day and there are tons of things that need to be done. i know that it will be okay...but i'm wiggin out a little bit

FH and i are moving into our apt. in the next week or two--never lived together before

we have NO furntiure and have to shell out some to get some, and hope we find something we like

neither my mom of FMIL have bought a DRESS for the day of the wedding!

the FG dress also, has not been done!

i've been fighting with my parents, cause i want to get ready at a hotel, rather than our small cramped house where there will be freeloading relatives all around when i'm trying to relax and get ready

and i have to start calling for non responsive RSVP's

and the seating chart needs to be done

FH and i can't agree or figure out what ANY of our music is for ANYTHING

seriously---when WILL the lambs stop screaming? i just want to be MARRIED ALREADY!

Sorry you're feeling this way.....take a deep breath and it will be fine.
One piece of advice....stand your ground and definitely get ready at the hotel. You will be more relaxed. I did it, and it was the best thing I could have done. No wedding stress AT ALL!
NOW BREATHE....you're getting married soon...

Oh Melissa! I'm sorry to hear that all these things are happen right now. It's going to be ok! Def go to the hotel to get ready. My mom gave me a hard time too, but in the end she was ok with it. It was relaxing and fun. As for the other stuff, just take it one project or problem at a time and deal with it. Don't try to handle all of them at one time. take some deep breaths sweetie! I'm sure everything will work out. Now smile!

I think most of us felt like this in the month before our weddings. My husband and I kept saying 'let's just get it over with!' because we were getting tired of the minutia.

It will get better and you will have a beautiful wedding day!!

This may not be all that helpful but we jsut had to buy a new couch and of all places we found something we love and is SO comfy at, of all places, Big Lots! (and it was $400.00 less than anything else we looked at)

Hope you're feeling a bit better.

Re: I feel like going into a corner, rocking back n forth saying 'When will the lambs stop screaming?'

relax, take a step back, and just write a priority list.

then focus on one thing at a time, and the list will slowly disappear.

As for the moms:
Take the mom's to nordstroms and estelle's dressy dresses, and don't let them come out until they bought something!

First of all - BREATHE!
There is a store called Kathy's Touch that is great for FG dresses and they are very reasonable.
FH is moving into our apartment next week and we have no furniture either - not even a bed - just a mattress! I was looking yesterday on overstock.com and they have some pretty nice furniture for not too much - plus its flat rate shipping - only $2.95!!!!

Is there anything I can do to help?? want me to make some phone calls??

check out Tri-County for the FG dress.... simple and cheap!!

Definately try taking things one thing at a time to see if your overwhelm subsides.

I sent you FM.

It gets overwhelming right about now, regardless of how much you had done in advance.

It all works out in the end!
