i've been cool, calm and collected up until today when I realized $700 is going out the window this week alone: photog payment and deposit for florist.
Holy cow I am stressing!!! How am i supposed to be able to afford everything? I know $700 isn't much considering the grand scheme of things but I think it finally hit me......i only have roughly a year and 3 months now.
i wonder if this is why i'm such an angry person...all the freakin stress i deal with
had to vent ladies...sorry

Re: ok Alyssa is officially freaking out!!!!
best way to treat this issue is to just hand over the money and not think about it. just have a 'ehh watever' attitude. think of how much money u spent on your coach bag collection...! lol

I know exactly how you feel. I'm actually putting off booking vendors because I can't afford to put anything down right now.

no i haven't exactly budgeted...i've been winging it but know roughly where i'll be if that makes sense.
and Lori, i <3 you for that
now Barb, i happened to put a curb on those Coach bags ONLY b/c I found a designer I like a heck of a lot better: Elliot Lucca. It just happens his bags are 2-3x Coach prices and I can't swing that now

Re: ok Alyssa is officially freaking out!!!!
Its completely normal to feel this way. I freak out on a daily basis. Like yesterday when you told me your duet payment was photo payment was due I got nervous that mine was due this month and started freaking. Im so scared about next year more than anything when all the final payments are due.

I am trying not to freak out - but sometimes it's hard not too - so I feel your pain!! Just breathe and keep thinking about how wonderful your wedding day will be (thats what helps me a little bit!)

Re: ok Alyssa is officially freaking out!!!!
I also have a 700.00 payment this week (flowers only!)... and rent, and um, credit card bills, and student loans, and.... crap.
This is what I tell myself: You have to make it work. I try to budget, but I'm an instant gratification kind of person, if I want it I'll buy it.
I can't stress it, I'll rent before buying if I have to, but I refuse to stress myself out over one day (a VERY VERY important day) but it's just one day

yea i didn't want to make you gals feel too sorry for me but yes, the rent is due, phone bill, 2 charge cards, a car payment, etc, etc . sheesh, life really does suck.....or at least bills. don't get stuck paying credit cards off like me. i'd have so much more free $ to play with haha.
