I'm kind of an OOT bride....I live in CT, about 2 hours away. So while I can go down for the weekend to do stuff its still a pain since a lot of vendors don't meet with clients on the weekends as they have weddings. But everything has worked out ok and I have a great mom and sister who have helped a lot.
I love this post! I live in Northern Virginia and am planning a wedding in Long Island exactly 7 months from today! My FH is from Nebraska so his parents are definitely not around to help. I think 85% of our guests are going to be from out of town! My parents are a huge help with vendors, contracts, etc. but sometimes I wish I was there to make this all so much easier!

Aww Sheena you started a thread about us OOT'ers! Yay!!
I'm Kristen, I live in FL as well. This OOT planning thing is getting old LOL...I am so stressed out. I order alot of stuff online that gets shipped to my parents and everytime I fly up I have to go through everything and see whats missing and it's just plain ridiculous.
And to top it off, I am stressed out about other OOT'ers weddings...cough cough Sheena you need a dress!!!![]()

Hey guysMy name is Dina & I grew up on LI with Megan
FH & I met on Long Island and both work in the stock market.... Last year when the market fell hard FH got worried about the cost of living in NY and asked if I would consider living in Texas. And with coming here often and loving it I agree'd to try it.
So here I am planning a wedding from 1600 miles away, working 65+ plus hours a week, between two jobs and having a nervous break down.
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it!

Hey Dina,
You actualy inspired me to put this together and I'm glad I did. If you need anything we are all hereI hope you don't give up and just keep on planning. Just book all your vendors and everything else will fall into place. If it is really overwhelming I would say cut out all the details that might not be necesary. In the end you are marrying the love of your life and thats all that matters.
