Weddingbee boards

I am having a lot of fun... but I guess I am really lucky. We have no overbearing relatives - my mom is wonderful and FMIL is a sweetheart - we're paying for everything ourselves and have the money already set aside and at the end of the day I know that I, my fiance, and the 20 people who really matter will be there with an open bar. Partaay!  Of course I could dwell on the negative like ordering STDs hating them and starting over or the fact that our respective fathers may crash the wedding, but meh, life is too short to be upset.

I've had moments where I feel so overwhelmed with things to do but my very blessed that my FI is the calm one. He reminds me that the major stuff has been taken cared of. We usually go out and do non-wedding things. We try to set a day where we don't talk about it. I find that it helps but everywhere I go people would ask me a billion questions about our wedding. Like my co-worker for instance could not stop asking me questions about my wedding and hers (coming up this summer) I feel bad but to not go crazy I usually give her really short answers. It's bad enough I'm stressing over mine I don't want to stress about hers too. LoL

Everything that I delegated ended up not getting done until I did it myself at the last minute, so really delegating caused me WAY more stress than doing it myself.

I am now 11 days away, and the stress is pretty much gone. Things have already started going wrong (one bridesmaid has told me that she can't make it to help us decorate the hall for our AHR until 3 hrs before it starts, one groomsman shaved his head, and another bridesmaid had the skirt of her dress taken in 4 inches on either side because she thought it was "too poufy"), but I figure that there's just no point in stressing about it at this point because there's not really anything I can do about it.

BTW, this calm attitude has really only come about in the last week or so...before that, I too was a looney tune.

It's amazing how once you reach a certain point, the stress seems to fade.  It seems like the less there is to do, the less stress there is.  I have 25 more days to go, and a handful of things to finish.  My problem is I keep going back over the details and making changes.  Must...stop...doing....that....

 So don't worry sweeney2be, it will get better before your married.

(hehe, that's what my dad used to always saw when I a kid and got hurt!) ok, small tear there.

if you're crying before 10am everyday, or even every other day - not a good sign!! i

 know you're having issues with the invites being printed and the church returning your calls, but take it easy!  it'll all fall into place when it's supposed to.

sometimes, based on your posts and the "frantic" tone in your posts, it seems like you're trying to put a square peg in a round hole - i know it's easier said than done, but relax!!

really as a bm and a guest, i cannot remember any of the details from the color of invites to what i had for dinner - all i remember is that the couple looked so happy and there was so much love in the room. 

the rest of it - like the matching napkins to the favors to the place cards - nobody cares and nobody will remember

let go and just relax
