VeRy StReSsEd.....

I am feeling very stressed lately - actually both my fh and i are - we both work full time (i work days and he works night - i have w/e off, he has 2 weeknights off....getting my drift??) and i am going full time for my masters right now.....so the weddign stuff just doesn't seem to get done....i work all day sat too at a 2nd job (we call it my wedding job so even sat mornings are out...)

now this whole thing with the dog is just the kicker...we still need limos, bp dresses (although i found 1 i like that fits two of the girls nicely!), invitations, flowers, our honeymoon, rings and i can't even remember what else right now.....

everyone else seems so set and i am just getting so sad - we only have until november and we went to a bridal expo the other night and saw brides from 2005....we both felt so behind and overloaded....aacck!

sorry to go on like this but figured maybe someone else would understand or have tips.....


thank for listening!

Awww, sorry you're feeling so stressed! I get that way too sometimes, usually when I'm thinking of EVERYTHING that needs to be done. What works for me is to focus on ONE thing at a time, in order of priority. What is the MOST important thing you need to do next? Do it, and then move on to the next most important thing.

When you try to do a lot of things all at once, it really can stress you out. And even though it seems like you still have so much to do, some of the things go very quickly (like booking the limos), and really don't deserve any worry at all.

Take it easy this weekend, and starting Monday, focus on one thing only. See if that doesn't help.

Also, remember that you have a bridal party! Ask them to help you out with phone calls or something. Or, maybe they can help out with things in your life, like a load of laundry, or food shopping. That's what the BP is for! To support the bride through the planning and on the big day.

Good luck!

seriously, dont worry about it...everything will get done. when the wedding is all over you will look back on this time and wish you enjoyed it more...so dont waste time stressing!

if it makes you feel better my wedding is in october and i dont even have a dress...all i have done is the band and photographer...hows that for behind

Don't worry, everything will get done, you have time. Just pace yourself. You might want to see if there is anything you are doing right now that you can cut down on though; (like that 2nd job); you don't want to burn yourself out before you get married!
