I think I have officially had my first meltdown...

I think I have officially had my first meltdown...

Last thursday I messaged my FMIL and told her that I figured out some sleeping arrangments for the night before the wedding.

My mother lives in N. Babylon, and FMIL's neice lives in Bethpage. The chapel is in Woodbury on Jericho Turnpike and I figured it would be easier if maybe we could all already be out in Long Island instead of fighting traffic from Queens to get to the Chapel. I told my FMIL if she stayed with her niece in their house along with the 2 cousins on her side, then myself, my mother, 2 cousins , my MOH , and my best friend will stay at my moms house.

Well, FMIL had a problem with it apparently, and she told me she doesn't want to sleep in anyones house. And then told me that she will find her own way to the chapel and meet us there. Trying to sound spiteful b/c I am trying to make it cheaper and easier for everyone to get together in one place.

So now she tells me she will pay for the hotel and I just need to find it. I turned around and told her that I have been doing everything from the get go , and that if she wanted to find a hotel to sleep in, she can do it herself.

I am so freaking tired of having to figure out money, and make phone calls, and wait for people to get back to me. It's so freaking frustrating.

I thought I had everything together, the limo's the chapel, the reception hall , the dresses. It just seems like the hardest part of all of this is getting my FMIL to actually do some leg work. She keeps telling me she knows people in the florist and the hair dresser, but she never gets back to me on it.

Sorry for the long post, but I feel like I have finally had my first meltdown. I was away on vacation this weekend wiht some friends who came to visit NYC and I didn't think of the Wedding AT ALL, and I actually felt good, but now that I am back to normal...I am under so much stress and have such bad anxiety :(

UGH!!!!!

i feel the same way but i like doing it myself cause this way i know it will get done. not only get done but get done right. if she doesn't like your idea then tell her to find a hotel herself.

That is exactly how I feel, I have done the research so far, so I know what is a good deal and what will work. I feel like if I do nothing from this point on, nothing will get done. That is how much people are helping me.

Ughhhhh, I just want to quit lol I don't want to do thiswedding anymore. I really don't care anymore.

that is really passive aggressive!
Sometimes having to do one more thing pushes you over the edge.
hotels.com has a 1-800 number I am sure.
I'd give it to her.

I understand your feelings- one more thing to do... I hear you!!! I think you did the right thing by telling her to make the arrangements herself. And I wouldn't count on her giving you names for hair and makeup because it doesn't seem like you have been able to count on her period...

Definitely understand you, how hard is it to just make up your mind?

Book and do what you want, give her the info if she chooses not to take the option you have given her then let it be....let her figure it out on your own. You have other things to worry about besides her.
