It's coming up close, and I've heard the stress towards the end can get pretty overwhelming. We're here for you if you need more venting!
I'm sorry about your photog :( that REALLY stinks!
The last stretch is the worst, even when you elope, and slog though and you'll have a wonderful wedding. I'm so sorry about your photograph; that's really rough. Hopefully you'll be able to find another one without too much difficulty since you're marrying off-season. Maybe stop answering your phone as much? ;-)
I feel ya! I try to focus on a couple of exciting good things about the wedding. My FI family just booked the rehearsal dinner at this AWESOME venue and I'm actually looking forward to it more than the wedding haha!
I always remember that every bride goes through this and it's normal. We'll get through this! I wish I could elope too, but, I feel like after when everything is said and done, I would regret it.
Everything will work out fine, congratulations!!!
Everything will work out in the end...there are always glitches along the way and it seems like the absolute worst thing ever.
For instance...I found out yesterday that we have to shave 2 days off of our DW/Honeymoon b/c FI has exams that his professors won't let him take early (he is in school for his PhD). Sooo...since Jamaica has a 48 hour residency requirement, he is having to rearrange ALL of the plans he has made. I was upset about it...but I shook it off and am trying to concentrate on the fact that he will be my husband and our day will be just fine....
So...have your moment...get it all out of your system...and keep plugging along towards your big day =)
*BIG HUGS* Just breathe, and everything will work out in the end. Hey, even if it doesn't you'll still end up with one heck of a hubby, right?
Hugs! Hang in there! I have a suggestion RE the frequency of questions/comments from your FMIL and your mom. As we approached my wedding, I encountered a similar problem with my mom. I gently pulled her aside and explained that her high frequency of questions was becoming a problem for me. I blaimed it on my personality (easily distracted) and said that I could forsee this problem only increasing when she was in town helping me in the days leading up to the wedding. As we talked, I realized that part of the reason for the frequency of questions is that she doesn't always trust her memory and wants to get the question out there before she forgets. I suggested that she get a notepad and write down her questions as they came to her and then once or twice a day I would devote time to answer her questions. This worked out really well for us. Maybe you could have a similar talk with you FMIL and mother and commit to a certain frequency to entertain questions and ask that they try to stick to that frequency. Just a thought...
It must be that 6-7 week mark, because right around that time I felt the exact same way and did a very similar post! It does get better, I swear!! I think at this point you're (the general you) so close but also far enough out that you feel like everything should be settled, even though you still have a lot to do (and in your case it sounds like a lot of people bugging you). But trust me, you'll be so happy to stick out and have the actual wedding that you'll forget about all the icky planning stuff. I'm a couple weeks out and I made it through the rough spots and am so happy I didn't throw it all out and elope.
One thing I did to help myself was to take a weekend off from wedding planning, including answering people's emails and questions about the wedding (and taking a break from weddingbee). It may not seem like you have the time, but you do. It really helped me get back to a calmer place and move forward. Hang in there - it will get better!
Thank you everyone! I know I will get past all this and I'm going to talk to FI tonight about maybe helping me just a little. He wanted to just go to the courthouse so these other things are my idea but I might need him to filter some stuff through his mom for me.
Sanity here I come!

My wedding is 7 weeks away, only six people tototal (second marriage for both of us) and my nerves are shot.
His mom emails me 5 times a day offering suggestions and asking questions. She seems dissapointed when I answer. I love her dearly and could not ask for a better MIL but she's driving me insane.
My own mother is calling every single day and we are not close at all. She has questions, she offers suggestions and when I decline, all I get is the *sigh* like I'm the most difficult person in the world and don't know what I'm talking about.
Then my photographer backed out two days ago and I'm scrambling to find a new one. I've had some responses but one was supposed to call me last night and never did.
I'm over it, tired of all of this, and since I loathe my job at the moment things are just feeling worse than they are. Calgon take me away!!!
Thanks for letting me vent.
