    Alright january ladies,

    Can you believe you are about there. Things have been going smoothly, but i have just recently begun to feel the stress. I am at 19 days and counting. All of the big stuff is pretty much taken care of, but there is so much to think about. This is my last week at work (there now....oops) and I am happy to know that I will not have to balancy my thoughts between work and wedding after this Friday.

    Anyone else feeling a little stress? What are you doing to cope? I am tyring to avoid the typical stress eating (that dress has got to fit). Was up at 5 this morning and on the treadmill- hoping some excercise will help relieve a little tension Smile

    You are almost there!!!!!  Aww I'm so excited for you :)  These last few weeks are going to go by SO FAST!  Try to take some time especially that week before for yourself.  Whether it's going and getting a massage or just taking a walk by yourself and getting centered again.

    Me tooooooo! I'm a 1.1.11 bride and the stress is raining down on me heavy! I'm just doing lots of deep breathing and getting things organized. During my whole wedding planning (about 6 months) I haven't had the stress of a job to worry about (I just graduated from graduate school in May), but I start a new job 3 days after we get back from the honeymoon! So that is just another stresser! 

     

    I want it to be New Year's Eve tonight!!!!

     

    Good Luck!

    Yes! It's definitely sinking in! I'm a 1-11-11 bride :) and 29 days is insanely close! I feel like I have so much left to do!  I've hit panic mode more than once lol and i feel it coming again! I'm trying to tie everything together and it's a lot harder than I really thought it would be!

    Hang in there :) It's almost here :)

    I am stressing because some of my guests are still sending RSVPs and the deadline was three weeks ago. Plus, those people are trying to add everyone and their mama to their RSVP.

    We now have over 530 guests coming to the wedding. It is funny because people said that holiday weddings have less guests. Thank God we booked all three ballrooms.

    Other than that I am excited!

    Ditto, ditto, ditto.  I am one day before you, and definitely feeling the pressure.

    @trugem: i feel u on those RSVPs...they are still coming in

    as of this friday, family and friends begin to fly in and over the next 3 weeks the airport will get sick of seeing me

    everything is basically done and I'm in waiting mode but i still feel tense

    today I pick up my marriage licence .

    i'm moving into a new home and thats ALOT of work

    next week is my last week of work here I start a new job after the wedding so 2011 will be full of lots of newness for me

    for now I just have to sit tight and drink some chamomile tea...can't wait!

    @aribari: I'm helping FH move this weekend. He already brought us a house that I live in by myself right now.

    I have a few more things left to do. I go get my bikini wax next week. lol I need to decorate my parasol. I need to find my mama a pair of shoes. I need to drive home next week. The Monday after Christmas we will get our marriage license. Then I will get my hair done (getting weave put in). lol

    Keep breathinig ladies-this is the BEST TIME in OUR LIVES!

    Happy Holidays to all, thanks for chiming in there on this one. Although I am sure none of us like to stress, it is comforting somehow to know that you are not aloneSmile

    Yes, I am definitely stressing. FI and I had out first real wedding fight last night. I think he has officially reached his threshold for all things wedding. Not that he has done much, mind you. Just all the seating assignments and the 6 people who STILL have not RSVPed. The limo logistics are also driving me crazy. Lots of last minute things to do, that's for sure.

    1-1-11 for my daughter and she is skiing in Colorado with the future inlaws.  I share you ladies' stress- 'cause I'm doing the wedding stuff while she's gone.  From table numbers, seating charts, place cards, final caterer's estimate... the lists go on and on don't they?  Happy to help- 'cause I know that she will be freaking out when she gets back 3 days before the wedding- tired and travel worn.  Here's a few of today's errands-  finding a place to clean and shine his military sword which will be used to slice the cake.  Reserving a limo for the bachlorettes.  Got an extra BM dress for a pregnant bridesmaid last week.  Yes, and all of y'all know this- Christmas is pretty much a blip on the radar right now.  Very stressful.  Time for some wine:-)

    FH's parents fly in tonight! so excited to see them.

    There really is very little left to do other than wait which is hard enough!
