Surprisingly, I was panicking in a major way last week, but I feel pretty calm this week. Our list is super ridiculous, but I think I'm starting to see the big picture. Just trying to take it one project at a time, and we are whittling away at that list.
But yeah, I'm pretty much worthless at work. ;) Have been for a while.
@cleve_girl01: yeah, I agree that taking each project one at a time is best to ease the stress. We got our marriage license yesterday, so that was a big to-do that felt great to cross off the list!
@napabridekelsey: We got ours about a week ago. I think that was about the only thing that has happened exactly on the day I had it scheduled for, and we didn't even plan it that way.
With that in hand, what else do you need? ;) Bride, groom and someone to marry you. After that, everything else is just gravy, right?
Me me me! We have 27 days to go and everything is just hitting me at once. It seems like there are a million things to still do and the thought of paying for everything is starting to make me nauseous.
I keep telling myself not to worry, that this is a once in a lifetime event and that we should enjoy every minute of it good, bad or ugly while we can.
ME!!!!! 4 days and i'm seriously in a panic. thinking about anything wedding related makes me nauseous and i've been walking around gagging every 5 minutes, hahah. people who keep telling me not to worry are just pissing me off! trust me, it's not fun to worry. if i COULD stop worrying and being anxious, i WOULD!
good luck ladies! :)
@cleve_girl01: I was in the same boat.
I was all panic last week. This week seems like all will be gravey!
@augustsix: Good luck to you too!!! I'm sure when I'm 4 days out, I'm going to be a complete and utter BASKETCASE. I'm just trying to hold the panic down right now...but it's gonna come out, I know it. :)
You will have a beautiful wedding and then you will be married and not have to plan a wedding anymore. ;)
@PinkPandaBear: ohh yeah the money part is what fueled the anxiety, I think. We're paying all of our vendors on the day-of, so I started thinking about that TOTAL amount, and I almost threw up :( Ughhhh...
@augustsix: 4 DAYS!!! Yayyyy! Try and enjoy it...are you backed up on your to-do list, or are you just nervous for the day-of? I think I'll be okay as I get closer, but who knows...
@cleve_girl01: thank you!! basketcase is a PERFECT word for me right now! i was cool as a cucumber up until this week. i woke up on monday morning and was suddenly unbelievably nervous and anxious! and YES, i'm looking forward to not having to plan a wedding anymore! i keep telling myself that! that, and that we are leaving for our honeymoon one week from today! woot!
@napabridekelsey: with the exception of our bouquets/centerpieces (i'm stressed out about doing those on friday night/saturday morning), we just have little things left to do. get a gift for our ring bearer, figure out a list of formal pics we want from our photographer, get my ring cleaned, pack for our honeymoon, etc... but i'm VERY nervous for the day-of.
@augustsix: you will do GREAT! You will look beautiful, marry the man of your dreams and spend the day with the people you love. Go get a massage and try and get your mind off of it :)
I feel pretty calm now, but feel like at any minute it could change. WHEW...just ready!!!
Oooh! Me!! Having a mini panic attack at work RIGHT NOW!
The problem is my job is really boring at the moment. Like - in my 8.5 hours at work today I've done maybe 30 minutes worth of actual work. Crappy boss who doesn't delegate... crappy job... etc. So I sit here and stress over all the stuff I could be doing instead. Sigh.
And of course it's summer and everyone is coming to town and having get-togethers. So my evenings are slowly filling up and I'm getting a little stressed about finishing everything!!
But - all of our weddings will be awesome I'm sure! All the important things will come together, and the less important things will be forgetten I'm sure! (I hope...)
Just finished my vows...it made me feel very happy and excited...maybe doing the checklist will help me keep sane!
My stress last week was a LOT worse than how i'm feeling this week, if that's any comfort for you August 13th brides! The closer it gets, the easier it is to realize that all the planning and details and constant payments and confirmation phone calls are almost OVER and that is something more exciting than nerve wrecking. Well that and the happiness that i'll finally be married, and it's no longer something that will just be happening in the future. I've found that the closer the wedding gets, the better I feel. Just hope this applies to the wedding day! Buuut I doubt it. I don't handle crowds or being the center of attention well. I'm actually nervous about being nervous that day! Ah well, only 4 more days, right?! good luck everyone!
OMG, 4 more days left. The nerves are definitely at an all time high today, had my first major meltdown, seriously hoping there aren't more to come!
Feeling much better today....
I talked to FI last night and told him that I was feeling really anxious, and that I really need his help to stay calm. So he helped me knock a few things off of the to do list, and made me dinner :)
I'm sure I'll have more waves of anxiety, but for now I'm feeling good :)
@almost-wifed: thank you for this!! I was hoping there was someone out there really close, who was feeling less nervous. I hope I'm in your shoes next Wednesday! Congratulations!!
13 days to go and the wedding nightmares (literally) are in full effect. My mind just wont stop. Everytime I think Im ok, something else pops up....Aug 25 will be here before I know it and on Aug 26 I can finally get a good full nights sleep. Good Luck All.
i wake up everyday at 6:30 and start deciding what project is next! cant wait till the honeymoon and all this extra stuff is done and i can focus and SLEEP again!
Right now I'm not panicked at all. But I'm sure that will change next week around Thursday and Friday when I'm around everyone else involved in the wedding and they're all asking me a million questions and needing me to explain to them everything that I know about the wedding in my head. If only there were like 50 of me, I swear this wedding could be executed to perfection with no issues whatsoever. LOL.
I'm soooooooooooooo excited!!! Just ready! Also ready to stop worrying about my WEIGHT! UGHHHHHHHHHHH LOL!!!!!!!!
I have a panic attack pretty much every day now... 11 more days!! eeeeeek!
Most of the things I'm stressed about are things that I can't control, like the weather and my skin... And I'm a bit worried about getting our final guest count and seating arrangement sorted out. Some people are really dragging their heels.
Congrats to those of you who are done with all this! I envy you!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Last night, all of the stress hit at once. FI was sound asleep with not a care in the world, and I started to panic with all of the things we have to get done. I wish I took two weeks off work before the wedding, instead of just one! Being at work right now is making me CRAZY!
Anyone else starting to panic? I feel better this morning, and I know I need to concentrate on staying calm...but HELLO...11 days until the wedding!
