Planning a wedding when your NOT on LI- Long Vent!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a long while. Things have been crazy on this end.

I need to make sure I am not the only one going through this.....

SO FH just started teaching for the first time this year (started about 3 weeks ago)
I know being a new teacher is a LOT of work. But so is planning a wedding

We live in Boston and have very limited time to get back to LI to book things.

So we were planning a trip back to LI this weekend. We were planning on going to finalize our Florist, invitations and scope out a few places for our e-pics (scheduled for Columbus day weekend) and his family wanted to host a small BBQ in our honor! GREAT, you would think!!!

Well dont you know, FH talked to mom and canceled the party (w/o telling me) and rescheduled it for Columbus day weekend.
He doesn't see a reason to head to LI until October now.

He doesn't LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!! Now in October we have to finalize Florist, Invitations, E-pics, and now a BBQ. Not to mention I haven't even started to look a BM dresses. Granted I do still have time to order the BM dresses but the next time I will be on LI after October is thanksgiving weekend and I don't want the girls to have to lay out money for a dress so close to Christmas and the holidays.

Ah hell, I just bought my dress!!!! The wedding is now less then 8 months away and we still have so much to do. Triple booking weekends is going to push him over the edge. I told him about the weekend and what we now have planned and he just laughed and asked if we can visit his friend in the city also!!!!! Im am going to snap!

How do I do this all in one weekend??????


Please tell me Im not alone in this!!!!!!

ahhhhhh im sorry!!!!! id be so stressed tooo

id tell FH he needs to set his priorities right now!!!

clearly theres not enough time in a weekedn to do ALL of those things.

so either he takes another trip to LI or he cuts out something in there (like the city trip)

im not a fan of my own FH right now so sorry if im being short n to the point n biased against ur FH but i think he really needs to put everything into perspective...

maybe if u tell him theres no way u will be able to do his family BBQ if u smoosh it all into one weekend, he'll be willing to do 2 weekends.......relate it to HIS family and he should get the picture

I'm planning from Virginia so i too feel your pain! It's not easy at all!!! One weekend i went home, we had 2 limo appts, 2 florist appts, 2 limo appts, our engagement pics & went to look at 2 hotels for OOT'ers... It ****** - but it is do-able! You just have to be calm... we're here for you if you need us!

Trust me you are not alone!...I live in Queens but Fh is in FL so I'm doing most of the planning alone. I don't drive so I have to depend on my friends to do me favores which means I have to work with their schedule. Whenever I ask him to come 2 NY he says the famous lines, 'we have time'. I hate that.

That sounds so stressful!! I'm so sorry! Are you able to come to NY on your own some weekends? That way you can search for BM dresses and things where you don't need FH for.
Good Luck

why don't u try using a store that is all over for bm dresses, like david's bridal? You can go in and see what u like and tell ur bm's to go in and try them on, take pics and send them to u and maybe it will help speed up the process...and actually it doesn't even have to be DB, ti could be any store that has the dresses you want them to try on...I know you would rather do it with them but just a thought.
