    Ok, so August is right around the corner and I have a huge list of things I need to get done and what seems like a bizillion things I still need to get. Most of it is small stuff, but the small stuff is adding up... I guess I'm just feeling seriously overwhelmed today. Can anyone else relate? How are the rest of you ladies doing?

    I feel you! It hit me yesterday that I have a millions things to do in the next 5 weeks! August 15th always seemed so far away and now it's so close!

    I am finding it easier to manage if I write specific small task lists so I can feel good about crossing items off when they are done!

    You'll get it all done!

    Yeah, I'm right there with you!  However, I did finally take my dress to get altered today, so that's a big load off my shoulders!

    I just went in yesterday to get my dress altered! I get it back next monday, I'm pretty excited about that. Only now I've decided that I hate my shoes... It never ends.

    I am avoiding logging into my google homepage because I have a countdown of how many days until the wedding... I get stressed everytime I look at it! I have about a bazillion post its everywhere with things I need to do. What helps me is talking to my bridesmaids. They calm me down and we get stuff figured out.

    I'm such a procrastinator and I have loads of little things still to do. Oh well, it'll all get done somehow!

    Wow, it will be one month in about 3 1/2 hours.  I have a bunch of little things to do, but nothing major.  Tonight, I'll be finishing our toasting flutes and I'll probably start hunting for some plastic totes in my garage for storing our wedding supplies for easy transportation to our venue.

    I also need to start shopping for some sexy things, since I have absolutely nothing to wear on the honeymoon.

    I keep telling myself that I'm at the end of August so I'm okay... delusional much?

    Nah. There is nothing to be gained by freaking out. I am a giant fan of list-making. That way I get to choose to either DO some of the things I need to do or to focus on something other than wedding stuff. I do have lots to do before August 15th, but I'm more freaked out about the commitment part than the planning part. :)

    I want to take a day off work to get stuff done but I'm trying to build up time for the honeymoon :(

    Yes!!! I sometimes find myself sitting at my desk and my heart starts pounding! I am pretty on top of things, but the enormity of it all coming together is so overwhelming! So. Many. Details. Not to mention all those people watching me walk down the aisle!

    One month today! I just sat down and went through all of our RSVPs, and am going to give the final head count to the caterer at the end of the week. I made myself a very organized week-by-week to-do list, and I'm praying that I stick to it!

    But yes, I am freaking out just a little bit!!!

    Not so much freaking out, but I do feel like we have so much to do and not enough time to do it. I just keep telling myself as long as the big things are taken care of, no one but me is going to know if any of the little things are missing. If you dont have time to finish everything you dont have time. You may want to go through your to-do list and make a MUST DO list and finish the things that you think HAVE TO get done, if any of the other things fall to the side it wont be a big deal. Good Luck! We're in the home stretch!!

    seinahpets- I don't have my centerpieces yet and I'm getting married in three weeks!Any other August brides starting to freak out? :  wedding Icon Eek In my own defense though I'm using potted herbs and flowers and I don't want to buy them for another week or two because I'm afraid I'll manage to kill them before the big day. I was hoping I would feel less freaked out this morning but I just woke up and my heart started pounding and my mind started racing... sh*t it's going to be another crazy day!

    I have to finish my thank you cards for the bridal shower--and a ton of other things. One BIG mistake I made was to purchase wine months ago and leave it in our HOT apartment--I opened up a couple of bottles and the wine is ruined--my FI who doesn't know much about wine said: "Oh this tastes like beer, it's fine!" Um, wine is not supposed to taste like beer. So his money wasted Any other August brides starting to freak out? :  wedding Icon Redface because I obviously don't know much about wine besides the fact that it's supposed to taste like wine. We were just doing wine and beer--but luckily my mom has rescued us and we will add two cocktails: vodka and OJ and rum & coke, plus the beer, and we'll replace a couple of cases of wine.

    We're going to get our marriage license on Friday!

    Oh yes! I am an August 1 bride and I am pretty near close to a FREAK OUT! My to-do list gets longer every day! Had my finalized fitting yesterday and that made everything super real.

     

    Is there any other August bride worrying about sweating her a** off in a mermaid gown? : )

    *raising my hand here* : )

    I made my week-by-week schedule up to the wedding day a couple of weeks ago and I'm blasting through it baby!! I can't wait for next week, which is when I'll be going back to the hometown to prepare for the month (thank goodness for working remotely!). Also have all of my trials, alterations and vendor meetings lined up starting that week as well, which will make it even MORE real. And every night before I go to sleep, I lie in bed and remark to fiance how our wedding is happening in a month, hyperventilate, get naseous for about 5 seconds and then I feel much better and excited again, lol. I think this will keep happening until the wedding is over :p.
