Re: September 08 Brides

I can't believe how close our weddings are now. Almost a month away. I did get a lot acomplished this past month but FH still has to order his tux and pick his Koumbara

I haven't heard from the Video guy, I guess I'm suppose to call him, right? I totally forgot.

I still feel like I have so much to do.
But so excited at the same time

My RSV date was July 19th and I was still receieving them until this weekend, but this is my cut off date so if I recieve anything after 8/2/08 I'm sending them back. I know that sound mean but I just can't wait for these people taking their sweet little time. I have other things to think about and do.

Re: September 08 Brides

So is anyone really starting to freak out!?

I am totally am and I have been so nonchalant throuhout this whole process.

I've been having trouble sleeping at night, FH has been getting on my nerves even though he's been very helpful and today, I feel like my chest is going to implode!

I definitely am. I don't sleep well either and am plagued by nightmares about the stupidest things, like forgetting to get my hair or makeup done. I am also getting that imploding chest feeling. It comes out of the blue...I'll be laying in bed and then all of the sudden my heart is racing. I think I'm losing my mind a bit!

Re: September 08 Brides

i'm mixed. i still feel like the wedding is pretty far away so i'm kind of relaxed about that

but i'm stressed about all the little jobs/tasks i still have to do!

we met with our caterer Saturday though and chose our menu!!! YAY!

Re: September 08 Brides

My RSVP date was Friday (8/1). At this point, if they haven't sent back their RSVP card or told me, FH, FMIL or my mom that they are coming, I am considering them a 'No'. I'm not tracking down anybody. I have too much to do.

How will you send them back? I am intrigued by this.

I feel the same way, I still feel like it's still awhile away. But I am so stressing over all the little things that I still have left to do. And FH still has not ordered his tux yet (didn't even start looking)
But other then that I am also so excited
