I love your bluntness. It's very comforting and your last advice was absolutely perfect. Thank you.

I hope what I wrote makes some sense. It is so hard to put all of the emotion into words but my only regret is being so worn down and sad before the wedding. I wish I had learned to blow things off. One of you girls mentioned about bridesmaid shoes and my only requirement was that they wear silver sandals, any kind they want. I did not remember even one time looking at their feet and I let them wear flip flops once we got to the RH. It was really GREAT to have them out their dancing with me instead of sitting complaining about their aching shoes! Just enjoy it girls, the fun part is partying with DH and knowing you have the rest of your lives together to look forward to!!
WOW so much of what you said i completely relate to and agree with you. The whole thing about getting everything done is SOOOOOOOO true. I thought with having the last 2 weeks free and not working i would get everything done with no problemsboy was i wrong. One regret i have is not having a nice relaxing day the day before my wedding. I didnt get to relax and get a mani and pedi early and just enjoy the day...instead i got stuck in the city for 6 hours, i only had to pick up my dress, veil and shoes so thought it wouldnt be a big problem but boy was i wrong. Only to get home 4 hours later than i expected and still had to write placecards, and then run to RH to drop it off, i finally got home at 11:00pm and had to do mani and pedi then. The whole week before my wedding i wasnt feeling well either, i was running around like a madwoman and seriously didnt have time to eat. I would wake up feeling exhausted lol. I became sick from the running around and stress to get everything done. Its crazy but no matter how much you plan things can happen that will just delay you so thats why its good to get things done early. I had to pick up my favor boxes the week of my wedding, went very early in the morning, got home by 11am, only to get and find out they were the wrong boxes, now i had to drive back all the way to commack and i live in queens to exchange the boxes. Another time i had to go to the city to pick up something, shouldnt have been bad but that day they decided to shut down the underpass and all streets, uhmmmm i was stuck for 2 hours in the worst traffic, and didnt even move...it took me one hour to go 2 blocks. The week of my wedding i was out from 9am-10am until 11pm every single day. I hate even thinking of that week.
Also so true about letting little things go. I mean if your fh asks for one little thing let him have it, why not let him be happy, its his wedding too and if he has any requests dont fight him on it. Same with guests, bm's, mil's, mothers or whomever...dont worry so much about what they will wear. I had ppl wear white at my wedding and i didnt really notice most of them until i looked at pics, one girl wore a long white dress lol, i only noticed when i was looking at pics someone sent me. It wont ruin your day, it wont change anything that day, if they want to do something that makes everybody go 'oh no what was he/she thinking' then let them, its no reflection on you.
thank you !

denise i remembered when you posted about your last few weeks leading up to your day i felt your pain![]()
i took a lot of advice from everyone on here especially (missliss) and started doing everything with programs oot baskets favors etc. early a few months before you feel as though you still have enough time to get everything done no no no time just flys before you know it
Thanks so much for the advice!! It really helps because sometimes you lose focus of what is important.
amazing advice- thank you so much- definately needed to hear all of this! Especially the parts about fighting with fh about the guest list, what fmil is wearing and about yes'ing everyone to death--- ok so actually all of it lol
Great advice I completely agree with everything that you said! I am getting married in one month and honestly I can't wait for it all to be over. I really am looking forward to living with FH and stop stressing about one day. Thanks again for the advice, very well said!
I thought this was perfectly said, I will try to keep all of what you said in mind...except for a few things that are too late at this point! I am going to start wrapping the BMs gifts now! lol thank you!!
