The biggest stress we've had in all the planning is money. Can we afford all of the upgrades? Trying to save money around christmas is a joke, so hopefully after the new year, we'll get back on track.




I sincerely laughed out loud at trying to save money during Christmas being a joke. You got that right!!!

***QOTD 12/23/13*** - Long Island Weddings

My biggest cause of stress has definitely been planning from across the country and not knowing if I'll be living back in NY before the wedding or not. Aside from just not being there to meet with vendors and whatnot, I have no idea where to book our HM flights back home to, where to tell my BP to have my bachelorette party, when to to tell my mom to have my shower, or how in the hell I'm going to have 3 dress fittings in the 10 weeks before the wedding if my dress is in NY and I'm in CA. It is not fun!

I'm pretty sure I have you girls beat, not that it's a contest. If it was, it's not one I want to win, lol. My FMIL (and two FSIL who are 17) lives with us. I contemplate murder/suicide daily. Just kidding. Kind of...



sorry to say it but ... you win!



LOL ... ugh. i am just constantly treated as a second class citizen so to speak ... i'm not liked or welcomed and for what reason, i'm really unsure. i've done nothing!



I know that feeling all to well. And they live in MY house! It's insane. as long as FH has your back, try not to stress it too much. I know that's easier said than done. If you wanna vent, FM me anytime!

FH and I have been doing a lot things in spurts due to my school schedule. so I'm afraid I'm missing going to miss something! I've started creating lists so I could ensure that we don't :)

***QOTD 12/23/13*** - Long Island Weddings

the biggest issue we are having is figuring out how my friends in the BP will check into the hotel the day of the wedding.. we can't seem to figure out a plan to get everyone's cars out there and i'm freaking out a bit about it..

i'm also worried about # of guests and placecards =/

OH and i'm really stressing about my FSIL, the groom's sister... my FH's cousin got married a few months back, and my FSIL was in the bridal party.. she got completely drunk at their rehearsal dinner, and my FH's cousin told me that my FSIL was so hungover that she threw up TWICE at the hairplace while everyone was getting ready.. the bride was completely mortified and angry at my FSIL, and now i'm worried about her doing the same at my wedding... she is approaching 30 (which isn't old AT ALL) and still hasn't met the person she's going to marry, and now that everyone around her is getting engaged, she has started to drink alot and kinda fell off the deep-end...

Nice! I have an aunt in San Diego. I dream of the day we can move there.

Oh dear God. Sorry to hear. Hopefully she gets that figured out by the time your wedding rolls around.

Thats awful! Well hopefully she learned from that. I know in my late 20's alcohol is much hsrder to recover from, maybe she wont do that again.

This! And we've had some offers from people to plan things and we are closing in on 9 months and not a finger has been lifted. I'm a HUGE planner and very organized. Already laid it out to FH if people don't step it by March we'll plan and pay for it ourselves. We get one shot at this. Our wedding by far isn't everyone else's priority but it sure is ours!

The only thing that has been giving me anxiety is the thought of not living at home anymore. I'm honestly really having a difficult time with it - I'm super close with my family and as much as I love FH and can't wait for it, I'm sad to be thinking that my home won't be home anymore.
