This has become my new mantra.
Do we need extra cakes? (Mine only feed about 100 and we have 200 guests)
What flavor should the extra cakes be? (I. Do. Not. Care.)
How many should we have? (I. Do. Not. Care.)
How should they be decorated? (I. Do. Not. Care.)
Just let me marry this guy already. Thanks. :)
Has anyone else hit this point in the wedding planning?
haha I started at that point for a lot of wedding related things ;) made the planning that much easier. Do you have any little ones or nieces/nephews? Ask them all of these questions, and use their answers as your responses. You know somebody will like your choices and not worry yourself :-P
Totally get you Aug. Seriously and I'm way further out than you (uh oh!). Don't worry everyone says not everyone eats the cake! I'm at about my wits end about the stupid guestbook. I just don't care. I'm ready to buy whatever. FI doesn't want a photomat b/c he says we wouldn't hang it up, thinks the books are too expensive etc. I'm like, who freaking cares?! So yes, I am so on the same page. hang in there you are marrying him SO SOON! :)
I am totally right there with ya.
One bridesmaid has fought with me on the color of her shoes. I asked her to get ivory. She's sent me two pictures via my cellphone of brown shoes and I reminded her I wanted her to wear ivory. Finally she found some "sand" ones. "Get them" I said. I. Do. Not. Care.
Other questions have come up regarding decor, food, etc. I Do. Not. Care.
Just let me get married and let's move on with our lives... haha
About one week before the wedding that was my mantra too! LOL....
I knew I was getting married, we had the license in hand, the church booked and we had all the fixings for a great party. I didn't care that it rained, almost all day, on my wedding. I didn't care that the florist forgot the extra flowers for the cake (the reception hall miraculously found replacement flowers), I didn't care that one of the guests wore a light silver (almost white) dress to my wedding.
In the end I got married and I was so happy, the week before I was glowing with anticipation!
Haha - you are so close, of course you feel that way! I can only HOPE that I can get to that point. :) Like doctorgirl said "Embrace it." and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
There comes a point where all the little nity details don't matter anymore. can you delegate to mom or a MOH? That's what I would do. Good luck this week.
:-) I think the mister and I are headed to that point. I think he's there already and I'm getting there little by little. You're almost there!!!
I think I have Detail Fatigue. That is what I will call it. :)
It is better to take an "I don't care" attitude than to be stressed out or, worse, turn into bridezilla. You are so right, in the end, you still get married. You still get to be with the one you love. Hopefully this can last to your wedding day, and then you'll be stress free on that day.
Haha. Yay! You have so little days left! Congrats!
Detail Fatigue! I love that phrase. I totally reached that point and it was about a week away from the actual wedding. At that point, I started caring less about the details and caring more about just getting to the wedding already!! :) Like Doctorgirl said, just embrace it! It's better than being too stressed!
I've just started planning and I am beginning to feel like that already! I just want our wedding to be a beautiful, meaningful, and enjoyable experience for everybody!
Um, I'm not even engaged, and other on where the wedding is, that's where I'm at!
Detail fatigue- I like that. I think I have been this way through most of the planning, it is just hard for me to get uppity and pour a lot of energy and detailed thought into centerpieces. My maid of honor helps me by coming up with ideas and I usually just go with it. I just want to get married and I want my loved ones to enjoy themselves. That's it!
LOL ... I am still a year out, and have only done about 2 weeks of serious wedding planning and I am hitting that point. I met with the decorator sunday, and she was asking about centerpieces ... and I had to tell her at this point, as long as people could see over or around them I do not care what they look like ... she looked like she was going to poop her pants ... I guess I am supposed to know ...
OMG. I totally don't care either. Like, at all, about much of anything wedding-related. Last week I was stressing over whether or not this friend of FMILs is going to make our cakes (she's been on vacation and hasn't been easy to contact). Then I realized we could just pick some up at the grocery store. Or turn to good old Betty Crocker. I.Do.Not.Care.
Yeah I had hit that point before we even started planning. My FI burst my "I Don't Care" Bubble when he shattered my dream of eloping, though ;__; Enjoy the not caring, ride on the waves instead of rowing against them. You'll probably end up somewhere pretty!
welcome to my world.. chalk 1 up for eloping! plus i love how guys can just opt out of it.. hello - it's their wedding too.. why are we stuck making the decisions we don't care about?
HAHAHA, you're too funny. Totally got to that point. You must be SOOOO excited to finally be married in just a few short days!
Oh honey I know how you feel!!! My (wonderful, fabulous, sweet, thoughtful) MIL was asking me about little details (that we had already gone over more than once) 3 days before and I had to tell the hubby to just make the decisions (again) cause I. Just. Didn't. Care.
You will have a wonderful wedding! It's so soon!
haha totally. But my "I. Do. Not. Care." is more directed at people. As in, someone bitches about the restaurant we are going to for my bachelorette party - I don't care! But how rude is that, really?
And my bridesmaids don't book their hotel rooms and will probably ask if they can stay at my place the night before - too bad, i want my place to myself, i don't care!
Screw them all! I don't care anymore!
I'm right there with you! When I met with my coordinator a couple weeks ago she was asking me all kinds of questions about how I wanted things, and I told her "I don't care. I trust you to figure it out." There are a couple things I DO care about, but everything else? Meh. Just want to be married already!
Im so getting there lately & expect to be there by Aug 24 - when law school starts again & I will have no time for details - I need a vacation from my summer vacation from school - wedding planning overkill. Im so done soon.
Me, me, me, me, me!!!!!! I thought I was the only one feeling this way, even my fiance is starting to look at me weird when he asks stuff related to the wedding, glad I'm not the only one.
I'm right there wit ya sista!!! I am 9 days out and the caterer called yesterday with all these questions and I was like "dude figure it out b/c I'm done!" hehehe! But seriously ... I have answered all of this questions atleast 3 times and he even writes the answer down but fogets to read his notes! He started asking about rental issues. I finally told him to call the rental company directly because "I'm done!"
Let the wedding begin already!!
Yes....I remember those moments. Truthfully, I don't even remember choosing the wedding cake flavors. The caterer suggested some common favorites, and we were like OK that works. Same thing with my bridesmaids asking me what color to paint their toenails.
Oh, for me it was bridesmaid shoes. I. Do. Not. Care. Period. Pick some shoes and wear them. Talk amongst yourselves. Figure it out. They did and they were all beautiful! Toenail questions would have absolutely killed me!
I am right there with you. I just want it over with. I just keep focusing on the honeymoon. Does anyone else have constant wedding nightmares? This past week I seem to have a nightmare every night. Last night dinosaurs invaded my wedding.
I was MOH in my bro's wedding and basically had a big hand in planning the whole thing. Researched vendors, went to meetings with vendors, designed the groom's cake, designed the centerpieces, kept up with the guest list and addresses, picked out BMs shoes, plus planned showers/bach party and helped my parents with the RD. So come the week of the wedding I hit the mode of I DO NOT CARE. The SIL asked for a friend to make a blue bead ankle bracelet for her something blue. The friend then emailed me pictures of all kinds of blue beads. I picked the one I thought worked. Then she emailed me all kinds of bracelets with the different bead orders. I finally said look you are the jewelry designer just make it I don't care!
I feel your pain. Can you imagine, now I have to do this all over again? At least it is for my wedding! ;)
OMG I am SOOOOO there with you, and i still have a week and a half to go...yesterday my grandma griped to me all day about the unfinished details i still have to work out...who is driving what cars, when is the rehearsal, blah blah blah, then my poor lovely FH got home and i totally (unintentionally) unleashed on him.
We have been so busy making final payments deciding do we want readings or not...plus we decided to choreograph our first dance so we have had lessons up the wazoo...uuuuugh....plus after all my MOH has done i feel so alone at the end of these days...and i know she has her own life and am sure it is just stress :(
I need to adapt ur attitude ...fast!!!! Or i will lose precious years off my life that i could spend with my hubby to be!!! :(
This happened to me the week before the wedding also. And believe me, on the day of so many things went wrong (that basically only my husband, me, the caterer, and venue staff knew about) that the "I don't care" attitude is one to keep for the day of. My wedding was awesome and there could have been a lot of things that I focused on (which were things I obsessed over during the planning phase) that really made no difference and had no real importance on the wedding day.
Hugs ((((A15))))
UUU CAN DUUUU EEET! (said with Cajun accent a la Rob Schneider in "the Waterboy")
It's perfectly fine to not care. I predict I will beat you too the "IDC" attitude since this whole thing with T and I is getting drug out so long..this time next year I shall resurrect your thread and you can laugh your arse off at me and reminisce about the week before. Heck everybody here can laugh their arse off at me b/c they'll probably all be married before we are. (can we say cynicism has set in again a bit with moi?)
Love ya!
I was definitely like this about 3 days before the wedding and on! It was terribly blissfully stressless! Nothing bothered me! I was on cloud nine.
And the best part was, almost everything went perfectly, and what didn't--well, what did I care?
Enjoy it!!
