No panic attacks but things are definitely getting stressful. My dressmaker fell behind and is now 10 days past her deadline for my dress, which should be here Monday, if she sends it via expedited shipping from Greece tomorrow as she said she would. My FMIL is questioning all my flower choices, which is driving me crazy. Half my guests are for some reason calling FMIL and RSVPing to HER rather than just sending their cards back to me, so I'm going to have to make a bunch of phone calls and get numbers to start on my seating chart too. Oh, and we're moving out of state next weekend and will have to come back down for the wedding 3 weeks later. Yippee! LOL
@ohheavenlyday: OMG, you are doing all of that and moving? you are a superhero. or crazy.
I won't get my dress until one week before! my mom is making it and she lives really far away. I trust her mad seamstress skills, but still, very nerve wracking.
lol - our wedding is August 26th and I'm freaking out a little too!! I'm sure everything will be fine, but I'm basically going to have to work on wedding stuff every day until the wedding!
The seating chart will be a daunting task... but we really have to figure out the ceremony! A friend is marrying us so we're designing the ceremony ourselves. We have ideas down, but I just want to get everything planned out. It's definitely the element that is stressing me out the most!
@PrairieGirl: oh yeah, my officiant is a friend too. so far, I have NO IDEA how the ceremony will go at all.
too many things!!
@janie-janie: lol - I thought it would be the most fun part to plan! But it's been a really daunting task. I just feel so funny picking poems or vows... it seems so strange to try to express your love in a nice way in front of everyone!
We're August 27th and I'm full on freaking out everytime I look at the to do list. so many little details to take care of and so many meetings to attend. aaaahhhhh
I was just having a minor freak out when I saw this thread. Yes! I am freaking out! Mine mostly has to do with the fact that I am moving across the country in two days. I am surprisingly calm about the wedding but that could be that I have plenty of other things to freak out about. Ask me again on Monday when I am in Wisconsin... then it might be wedding freak out time. Ahhh
Panic????? Ohhhhhh Yeahhh! I'm the 16th. I feel out of my mind. I'm getting married in a different state and then having the reception one month later. I have to make our vows which is daunting. No one is really responding, met with caterer today and finalized. Dress fitting (first and only) on Saturday. I feel like I have no money for everything that pops up. I never thought there was SOOOO MUCH to plan!! I need a drink!
@Carolyn72: calgon take me away!! (oh lord, I tihnk that reference may have dated me.)
I am actually in a good place right now : ) I planned all along to deal with all the stresses of wedding planning far in advance and as the wedding became closer I was gonna calm down and enjoy my final weeks as a fiancee. Believe me I have had all the stresses a bride could have..... from family issues to money problems to unresponsive bridal party and groom to my "dream" dress I purchased 3 years ago now being a size too small and discontinued. I have had some of the best moments of my life and have had bridal meltdowns but I am more excited than ever and know in my mind and heart that I am ready to be a wife!
Good luck to all my twin dates and remember to breath and enjoy these last days as single ladies
Oh my god...I'm 3 weeks out, and yeah, the panic has definitely taken up residence in my head. Soooo much still to do!!!!
Good luck!
@janie-janie: yes i am freaking panicing. I am in the same boat as you. fbil is our officiant and we have no idea what we are doing for a ceremony.
I am absolutely freaking out - but trying to breathe at the same time! I am completely consumed with all of the little details, and am just afraid that I'm going to forget something major!! I also keep having these dreams that it's the wedding day and we don't have X, X, and X done. My most recent one was last night! Ahhh!!!
However, I am really trying to relax as much as possible and enjoy this time as well. I have really enjoyed it, up to this point! I think it's natural to feel a little stress/panic as crunch time arrives.
Good luck, everyone!!
i just started to freak out today, actually. we're doing an entirely DIY wedding in a park and the little things are starting to pile up so quickly!!
19 days left for me!! I can't believe it!!
I'm actually not feeling very stressed at all. I have been working in construction project management for the last 6 years, so scheduling, coordination, and organization is what I do/am good at :)
Most of my DIY projects are complete. My FI is out of the country on business for the whole week, and I am SO thankful for that!! I am going to be able to focus on my last DIY projects.
I am going to miss the DIY projects once my wedding is over!
Yes! I just started freaking out tis week. I'd been totally fine up until now. I hosted a baby shower this weekend and I'm one of the head leaders for my church's VBS which started today so I have spent so much time planning and prepping for different things. I'm started to feel like I'm losing my mind.
Panic hit on Saturday... which was the 3 week mark. Holy crapola, how did August get here so fast?!! I'm SO excited for it to be here but I'm so afraid I'm going to forget something major!
I'm a week earlier than you, but just yesterday my boss said to me "So, a week from Saturday, you'll be married." The way he worded it just flipped me right the heck out. I had been thinking of it as, okay, I have 2 weeks left. Thinking about it his way made it seem like it's tomorrow!
So much to do, but all that stuff is suddenly not seeming as overwhelmingly important as it did a few days ago. I find myself focusing more on the fact that I'm going to be married than that I need to get these dumb pomanders finished. :)
I'm in FULL BLOWN STRESS CENTRAL!!!! I just feel so overwhelmed. I've been wishing for all my nails to break and for me to get a huge blemish this week so that it is all better in 18 days! LOL!!! How is it already August! I am done w/ seating chart and just emailed my wedding planner all the food choices and table numbers. Picking up the dress next week. Still haven't done programs! Working on Escort Cards! UGH!!! Why didn't I listen to my dad when he said "Just order them"!!!????

OMG ONE MONTH TO GO!!!
I've been cool as a cucumber up to this point. then last night, the to-do list ran through my head and I panicked a bit! I had to take a benadryl before going to bed so I could be sure I'd sleep. something tells me I'll be taking more of those in the next four weeks.
today was the due date for our RSVPs, and I have only 2 weeks to plan the "out of town guests" party (for the night before). which means: another round of invitations, hounding people for THAT RSVP, choosing food, etc.
and now I have to do the seating chart for the wedding. I've really been dreading that one!
anyone else having panic attacks yet?
