Oh man, Miss MJ, I am so with you. I have this big certification exam on 8/25 too then the wedding on 9/26. I'm going nuts and my to-do list just seems to grow and it's all that detail stuff I don't care about!!!
I'm feeling you. I'm dying for it to be wedding day followed by the honeymoon!!
Only 10 days until our wedding - and so much "real life" stuff going on! My fiance has expressed this sentiment of just wanting it to be over for quite some time. At first, it offended me. But now I'm right there with him!
"...sitting and thubing through a pretty album of your pix with your new hubby..." *sigh* That sounds wonderful! I'll be one week in to my last semester of school when we get married, so even more than looking forward to our wedding being over, I'm looking forward to December when my evenings aren't consumed by studying or wedding planning, and I can just be enjoying life with my husband.
@lexatron - man oh man, you're lucky! I've got a good 2 years left on my degree, and Mr. MJ has 3+ on his. Our 20s are being wasted away in school. It'll benefit us a lot later, but right now we are definitely missing out on lazy evenings together!!
I'm kind of the opposite...I have a ton of time, so I feel like I can't do anything! I'm bored!
Sorry you're having to do so much in a short time. Hang in there!
@Miss MJ - I am kind of like you. I can't wait for the planning to be over. I am looking forward to the night of September 4 where I will get my nails done and be done with the planning. After that, my helpers take over and I will force myself to relax!
@KateMW - get your butt over to my house and WASH MY WINDOWS!
been there done that. the relief is fantastic. all that's left are the thank you cards and organizing all teh stuff! But it's nice to relax. no more stress. one more month, maryjane! hang in there!
OH. YEAH. Our wedding is in 4 days and instead of crossing items off the to-do list, I am finding I have to say "oh well, nobody would have noticed that detail anyway" and REMOVE it from the to do list. I don't want to spend the weekend of the wedding finishing up DIYs for small details when I could be spending time with guests who flew in. FI and I fight daily because I am stressed wanting everything to be perfect and he feels guilty for not doing more to help me. It SUCKS. I can't wait until Sunday night, when it's OVER and we can turn the passion of the past few weeks into some actual passion between the sheets! :)
I don't know that I would have said I was eager for the wedding to be over. I certainly have more time afterwards -- I really enjoyed taking time off for the honeymoon, and yeah it was crazy hectic leading up to the wedding -- but the furthest I would go would be to say that I was eager to see everything come together.
Good luck with everything on your plates! I certainly feel better now that everything is back to normal, but I am so glad that I worked so hard on everything I did. Of all the stuff I could cross off my to-do list, it wouldn't have been wedding stuff.
You're a LOT busier than I am, and I also want it to be over! I'm a September bride, too, and we've been planning since last July. I LOVE planning events. I've done it professionally as well, but planning your own wedding is just exhausting on a whole other level. I'm beyond ready for it to be here and be over so we can let go of all the unforeseen family drama, the details, the wedding clutter all over our apartment and just BE with each other.
I totally hear ya!
I have about a month left too and I'm oddly pretty zen. There are the things I HAVE to do, like pay remainders on the deposit, find some shoes and some make-up that won't show my zits, but I'm letting go of anything that isn't on that must-do list. I'm to the point where honestly? I'm done with it. I'm ready for the honeymoon! :)
I got there MJ! The last week was insufferable, but it made me all the more appreciative of the event and the marriage! Hang in there, and keep one foot in front of the other!
I'm totally with you. We have 24 days and I just can't wait for it to be over and to go on our honeymoon to relax.
Breathe. Relax. You're doing absolutely fabulous!
It's ok if everything isn't done. Only you will know about it anyway!
This is a time to celebrate you as a couple. Your love and future. Get out the ipod player or turn on the radio and get some rockin' tunes on and forge ahead!
Maybe turn this into a fun challenge instead of stress. I think you're doing great and btw I LOVE the invitation suite you designed.
As for me, I personally HATE housework. If i turn on the ipod player or my communication system in the house (has a radio and speakers in each room) and crank it on my favorite stations it helps distract me & get movin'. Sometimes I download a book onto my ipod and play it too while I'm working. Distraction and fun to listen too at same time.
I figure my house might get really clean in September after the new Dan Brown book comes out! lol!
Yup I can't wait for it to all be over!! I'm really stressing over money every single day, I'm so tired of being broke and I'm tryinh really hard not to go into debt for the wedding but I think its inevitable that at least a little bit of the wedding will go on a CC *sigh* I really wish we would have just went on a cruise and gotten married like we originally wanted to...
I am glad I am not the only one who wish we were at day of. My list seems to stay the same. Everytime I think something is done more details for that something comes up. I am also having issues getting my wedding site cordinator to return my emails. I know I still have a couple of months to go but I am over it. I am tired of being broke as well. I tried to talk the FI into doing the destination wedding with just us and doing a reception upon return but the big wedding was what he wanted funny right? Oh well deep breaths......... and more deep breaths...... soon I will be on a beach (thats what I keep telling myself)
I'm in the same boat! New house, still doing wedding stuff. Half living between two places, busy at work, dealing with painters, contractors, and incompetent furniture delivery and appliance delivery people...FI working night float at hospital starting in two weeks. Lovely!
I have stuff that was supposed to be done in May that is not done yet. Oops! I just want to be in Bermuda on our honeymoon!
I need a glass of wine!
I'm with you on this one MJ! There's a lot of stress going around in the house! Having multiple migraines a week isn't helping either.
I was stressed a week before the wedding making tons of last minute preparations, whether it was making wedding programs or placecards the day before the wedding. We even felt stressed on the honeymoon because we planned too many things to do while we were in Hawaii. If given the opportunity again, I would have planned a lot better to have things done months before the wedding and would have given more responsibilities to both my friends and family.
I have two and a half months to go and I am ready for it to be here! I'm printing invites this weekend, I'm now helping with shower plans since my sister (who is throwing the shower for me) just moved out of state, I just finished a summer class, have two classes starting Aug. 24, I have four storage totes in my dining room that contain lots of wedding stuff and I have no where else to put them, we're looking at a house, and the list goes on and on. I cannot wait to be sitting on the beach October 26 without a care in the world :)
I do a lot of wedding planning here at work, so my desk is covered with post-its of to-do's and thoughts and things like that.

I'm sure I'm not alone here.
But oh god, I am so freaking busy. We're barely a month out at this point and I have so much stuff to do. Most of it isn't even wedding stuff, it's more related to my parents coming to town for the wedding (having never seen our house before).
A sample of our to-do list (which is like 50 items long, most of which have "do by" dates before our wedding day).
-Wash the windows (they're so scummy, its not even funny)
- (ongoing), keep blogging for WB so y'all won't hate me for leaving you high and dry!
-Paint the hallway (because it's half-painted - i wanted to see how a color would look)
-Sew my sash (obviously)
-Get my dress steamed (would like to do this after I sew the sash, but time's a wasting)
-Finish my invitations (need to have them out next Monday)
-Make a cake for Mr. MJ's birthday and take time to celebrate with him (next week)
-Finish an online class I'm doing
-School starts August 24 for both of us
-One of us doesn't know what the future of our job is after that date - very stressy
-clean, clean, clean
-and about 40 more things.
Once the wedding is over, more stuff will need doing... like changing my name and planning our honeymoon, but for now, this is a big ass list. Anyone else drowning in a sea of to-dos and just wishing it'd all be over so you could be sitting and thumbing through a pretty album of your pix with your new hubby?
