Everything is going to be OK, because you're going to get married, and that's the most important thing! Check out A Practical Wedding's post today, it was awesome and really put stuff like that into perspective for me.
Hang in there!
Elope.. haha just kidding.. it's alright, you'll be fine. There not exactly horror stories, just minor road blocks that you will have to deal with. But it's ok we are here to support you and you'll do fine.
Being organized is the key so that when something like that comes up you know exactly who you said what to and can find your information quickly.
Things go wrong, man. Just the way it is. It sucks too, when it happens. But it's nothing you can't overcome. I do believe that the end result will make it all worthwhile! :)
Take a deep breath, I'm sure you'll do fine! I agree with Br1tSh1n1ngStar--the key to staying as calm as you can is organization. Also, I tried to do as many things as possible as early as possible, so there was less to do at the last minute. Finally, DELEGATE--you don't have to do everything and usually there's a friend/family member who is willing to help out. :) Relax, I'm sure it will all work out and be awesome!
Don't worry! You will probably have some stressful moments, but its nothing to be worried about. You have to keep in mind that people post on weddingbee especially when they are stressed out or need advice, etc. Horror stories don't happen to everyone.
And a tip on the bridesmaids- if you are worried about someone freaking out, don't ask them to be in the wedding party. That's the solution to most people's problems... that they shouldn't have asked the girl to be a BM in the first place. I only asked my two sisters and FSIL and everything is great.
And by reading everyone's stories you can be prepared to handle situations with family and vendors with ease!
oh god dont stress! Its like bad service at a restaurant. People rarely go online and rave about a great meal and great service. They focus on the bad! My planning was smooth sailing (until crunch time which is normal) and I had no horror stories besides my centerpieces being wrong. Dont streess, the planning is FUN!
Hire a wedding planner ? I hear there great to have and they'll keep you grounded .. I don't have one myself , but then again i'm pretty controlling, great at nagging , and stubborn enough to want to do this myself .. ..Don't worry about anything ..All that matters at that end of the day ..is you and your fi :)
Thanks Hive! I guess I just had to get that out, because I've been scared for like a week now about this, haha. You're right, things go wrong, and there's not much you can do about it. The only thing you can really control is your reaction to what happens, and I guess the day is only as good as you make it.
BrattKatt- I wish it was in my wedding budget to hire a wedding planner, haha. I am doing a wedding on $6k and then my mom is willing to pay $1k on my dress.
I live in the Reading area but born in Philly. What part of PA are you from?
@kellyv is right...people do tend to focus more on the negative, etc. You'll be fine. Just take it all with a grain of salt.

to plan my wedding. I am hearing so many horror stories on the boards lately, it's making me nervous. I don't want to deal with uninvited guests, or people who show up even though they didn't RSVP or did RSVP, but said No and decide to come anyway. I don't want to deal with bridemaids freaking out, and spending money on a photographer that might fall through, or anything like that.
Please tell me everything will be okay! I am really stressing right now, haha!
