Re: married ladies...how did you

I feel stressed this week because we have our final appointments with vendors every night after work. I feel like I have soooo much to do too BUT I am trying not to think about it. I definitely could use a drink---or ten! We are almost there!!!!!

Re: married ladies...how did you

I almost didn't. Now I can't believe it's over and sit here wondering what I would be doing so far as wedding planning if we weren't married yet.

Focus on the IMPORTANT things. TRUST me!!!!

Music, Photos, get your tips ready (and ASSIGN SOMEONE to do them for you) and seating....

Anything else you get done is just GRAVY!!!!

Try to enjoy this time, I hated it............. Now I wish I enjoyed it.....

Re: married ladies...how did you

take one thing at a time. My sister sat down with me and we made a to do list for the last few weeks each day had a few items to do. It made it less overwhelming and I could relax more because everything I needed to do was on the list.

Re: married ladies...how did you

3 weeks before is when I had my meltdowns. Now 11 days away I'm perfectly calm. Channel that stress and get as much done now as you can.

Re: married ladies...how did you

I agree - I'm not sure how I survived either. FH and wine were my only friends since FH was obligated to be around me and wine doesn't talk back lol

But honestly, when you feel yourself getting overwhelmed, take a step back. it WILL all get done. and whatever doesn't get finished, it won't be missed - the guests won't know either way.

Lean on your friends, and try to rely on them for some non-wedding chat to help keep you grounded.

Good luck

Re: married ladies...how did you

Just make one master list of things you want to do. Carry it with you and what you get to you get to. I kind of had the attitude that if something got done it just wasn't meant to be at my wedding. I refused to get stressed out!!

Re: married ladies...how did you

I was really stressed 2-3 weeks ago, but I am totally calm and relaxed with 4 days to go. Try to get as much done as you can now, so you can relax the week before.

Re: married ladies...how did you

I definitely felt a little crazy leading up to the wedding yet was surprisinly calm on the day of. I think the girls are right about creating list and paying vendors, having final meetings early. Also having a DOC really helped as well as keeping in close touch with the Banquet Manager.

Re: married ladies...how did you

These last 3 weeks I feel like I'm going to throw up every day thinking about what needs to be done. It's all small stuff at this point and to be honest if we don't get to it nobody will notice...but I would like it there. Going to bust my butt to get as much done this week so I can relax and tend to any emergencies the last 2 weeks.
