I'm angry at myself b/c I've been wanting to do better with my wedding 'diet' (mainly just eating better and hitting the gym). But there is just so much to do its not happening, which just makes me angry at myself :(
How can it be so close to our day already?!?!
@littlenikki: DONT PANIC Lol :) what are you panicing over, maybe i can help? or is it the fact that we are sooo close that is just freaking you out?
@Petunia123: me too, i got a gym membership when we got engaged and kept up with it for a while, but now that we are so close, i just simply dont have the time to go. Im either at work, or running errands for the wedding. Now that doesnt explain why i havent been eating good...hehe..... so you are not alone. Keep in mind that your FI loves you for how you are right now!! That is all that matters, he will make sure you feel the most beautiful you can feel on that day, just from his love to you :)
It kinda snuck up on me yesterday that we are sooo close, we are now in the teens for days left!! that is insane!!!
18 days ladies and counting, now is when will need the most support from each other, keep communicating with and be here for each other for that extra encouragement :)
I honestly feel like puking thinking about how close it is!!
I have super bad anxiety so it's full force right now!
I feel like there is so much to do still. Ugh! Has anyone been forcing themselves to stay away from weather.com? I'm so tempted to look but it's still so far away that I don't want to psych myself out even more.
Here's the deal... about 2 weeks before the wedding your panic level will peak. One week before the wedding you will enter the "Eff it, if it isn't already done, I am over caring about it" mode. In the few days leading up to the rehearsal, giddiness and excitement will set in. And on the morning of the big day, you will know to your core that, no matter what did or didn't get done, no matter what hiccups will happen that day, it's all going to turn out just fine. You will feel calm, relaxed, and go with the flow. nothuing will get you down, because today you get to marry your amazing love. And that is all that you will care about. The rest is just gravy on top.
Hang in there. You are so close. It's gonna be beautiful and wonderful.
@KateByDesign: LOL, I have major anxiety issues, my doctor even started me on xanax last month from my other anxiety meds (it was a very low doseage pill before) cause i am getting so bad :) So im right there with ya girl! I already gave in and looked at the weather :( i did it this morning for the first time
@lovekiss: AWW thank you, i cant wait till the "Eff it, if it isn't already done, I am over caring about it" mode. LOL
Anyone else having big problems with their seating chart?
i finished it and thought it was perfect, then i showed my Future father-in-law he wanted changes (little ones so no big deal) so i made them no biggy, then i showed the Future mother in law (FYI: they are divorced) she wanted changes!!! Which was a little more than i wanted to do but, i did it and it all worked out, then i get a FB message from a cousin of my FI and he is now bringing a 3rd person and it threw my whole chart off!!! GRRR im so frustrated right now!!! I can but i cant at the same time, wait for the day that i dont have to be constantly thinking about wedding stuff everyday......
@HeatherShane: Thanks. I've got all the big things covered, it's just lots of little stuff here at the end. I'm a compulsive planner, so not having these things done is just setting me off. Top that with full time classes that involve all sorts of hours outside of class and work picking back up and you have one super stressed me. So many small projects to finish up and things to gather. My FI is being really great about wrapping stuff up for me and really taking charge the last few weeks, but letting go of something I've been planning for a year right at the home stretch is just nerve wracking. I trust him (it's his wedding too after all!) but I have a bit of a control-freak-streak and find that no one does things "fast enough" if that make sense.
Just a few minutes ago my FI was working on the seating chart and I was supposed to be doing homework but kept peeping over my laptop at him. He noticed me and got annoyed and stormed off (he hates to have people watch him do stuff just as much as I hate to give stuff away, so we're awesome for each other) so I just broke the hell down and sobbed my eyes out. I'm just really stressed and every time someone at work or school mentions how excited I must be I seriously have to fight tears. I know the wedding will be magical (I am getting married to my best friend after all!)...but I'm not-so-patiently waiting for my eff it moment.
I'm freaking out. I feel like there's still SOOO much left to do. I haven't picked out my jewelry or what I'm wearing to get ready yet. I still need nylons. My DJ needs to get our contract right. Seating charts and final headcounts haven't been started. I've got a DIY project to start to make the table numbers. I need to order escort cards. I still have 1 more dress fitting. I need to breathe, lol. Oh geez, I still have to write my vows, and my letter for our love letter/wine box ceremony. I'm spending the entire weekend at my Mom's house, and we are hopefully just gonna bang all this out. Everytime I make another to do list, I get dizzy. I just want it all to be done, so I can chill. The day of better be freakin magical!
@lovekiss: I'm already in the "eff it, if it isn't already done" mode! lol
But it's been a crazy few weeks for us here. Between final fittings, school, work, and rushing to get a few last minute things, we've had our hands full. My grandmother passed away last week, so it's going to be difficult. We won't be able to have a service until sometime closer to Thanksgiving, because she wants to be interred beside her daughter in Pittsburgh. But we all know my Gram was LIVING to see this day, and it would dishonor her if I didn't go through with it. Other than that, I've still got a boatload of things to finish. I'm just taking my sweet ole time.
Not to mention we still have to pay the caterer! lol
@JessyMess: Oh man! Your "to do" list makes me feel a lot better about mine!! I have anxiety FOR you!! Haha. Good luck this weekend. I hope you can get a lot of productive work in!
I'm sending in my final payment to the caterer now!!
@littlenikki: I'm just really stressed and every time someone at work or school mentions how excited I must be I seriously have to fight tears. this is how i feel!! Im crying more than ever right now, I just am toooooo stressed/overwhelmed, and im switching departmnets at work and training, so that is just one more thing i have to focus my attention on.... I try to remember what you said all the time I know the wedding will be magical (I am getting married to my best friend after all!)... and that is all the matters
@KateByDesign: Yep. I am on TWC on my phone everyday looking at the 10 day forecast. It's up to the 25th as of today and it's raining that day. It's been mostly sunny here in FL ao far. The weather is really the biggest thing that is out of our control....I'm freaking out a bit.
11 DAYS and we will all be a MRS. YAY!!!
I hope everyone is relaxing and have all their planning under control! I have finally got to a point were my Still To Do list is managable LOL, just little things here and there and im done. I will just keep praying for no RAIN!
The first thing when I woke up this morning was check our 10-day forecast... and its calling for RAIN on Friday and Saturday! Argh, I have a garden ceremony, outdoor cocktail reception, and a tented reception. There is a backup plan for everything, but its not ideal. I will cross my fingers for you all and do every other superstitious thing I know how to if you do the same for me!! Deal?
Anyone have any last minute tips on how to look their best on that day? I'm drinking tons of water and lifting handweights.
I just checked the 10 day forecast and there is a 60% chance on rain here in FL on the 29th. I knew that there could always be that possibilty having an outdoor wedding on the beach. I guess I have to start thinking about plan B. :( Of course, it could change between now and then but I am still freaking out. It has been so pretty here all month long. I am so sad. I guess I will cancel the tables and chairs I rented later on next week when I know it's definite.
@surfsidebride: I guess its too soon to tell, and 60% chance is such a wishy washy percentage. Like they don't want to be wrong. Why don't they just say 50/50? I just checked my forecast again today, and now its going to be sunny! Yesterday it was T-storms, today its sunny. I'll keep my fingers crossed for your beach wedding! Whats the latest you can cancel the outdoor elements without losing too much $?
@JessyMess: I know it could change. Last night I looked and it said sunny! It could just rain in the morning and nice in the evening. We are having a sunset ceremony so I am hopeful. We just did so much to prepare for an ourdoor wedding. :( I don't pay for the table and chairs until the Friday before so I can still cancel and just loose the deposit. I can still arrange to have it inside the beach house I rented but that is not what we want obviously. I'm trying not to freak out but it's hard not to.
Alter my FI built last weekend that I am going to decorate (hopefully) with ivory tulle, green hydrangeas and strands of crystals of the back post. And, Starfish chair hangers we made to put on the chairs....all of this work will be for nothing if it rains. :( I guess that's the chance you take having an outdoor wedding....
@surfsidebride: Omygosh! I can't believe he built an altar! It won't rain, I have a good feeling about it. Those starfish are cool, I love the Raffia. They could still go on chairs inside, but yea wouldn't be the same as a beach of course.
@JessyMess: I hope your feeling is right! I have tried to be so positive and upbeat about the planning. Mainly because I don't want to bother people with wedding drama all the time. Now I am officially freaking out, though!
I really want to use the canopy (alter). I guess we can just put it up in the backyard as decor if we can't use it at the actual wedding.....ha! (Trying to find the humor in all of this)
Checked my weather forecast. Rain Thursday, Rain Friday, Rain Saturday. Oh wait did I mention those are the 3 days we have wedding things planned and most of them were going to be outside.
Shoot me now :(
Now I just looked at the 10 day forecast and it's saying it will be sunny on the 29th with 0% chance of rain! WTF! Why do I torture myself with the 10 day forecast. I am soooo happy to see the sunshine but I know that could easily change back to rain! TWC is seriously effing with me. My FI is convinced that it will not rain though...on what bases he is making that assumption on, I have no idea. He is always the more level-headed and the voice of reason, ha! I wish I could be more like him sometimes.
@heathershane: I lost my job about a month ago and I'm starting a new one TOMORROW so I've been crying more than ever too!
I'm so grateful for the time off that I've had to complete tons of wedding projects, but I wasn't prepared for the sudden shortage of cash flow!!!! Now I'm stressing so hardcore about learning the ropes at a new job that it's making me even more weepy and meltdown proned than before :(
But, woohoo 5 days!
Looking like snow for us in Virginia now...I don't think I've ever seen it snow in October. Of course it's gotta do it during my outdoor wedding.
Le sigh. Our honeymoon is getting cancelled as well since Hurricane Rina decided to drop by Mexico. I was hoping we'd get good weather for one or the other, but it's not looking like it :/
@KateByDesign: Just think of how romantic snow can be. It will be lovely, no matter what. And yea, it is crazy that we are discussing snow in this area in October.
@jordanerwin: Oh, im sorry you lost your job, but thank God you started a new one quickly after. I know it is really stressful when the cash just isnt coming in.. My fiance is in sales and his business isnt going so great right now and the money just isnt coming in... but all you can do is look at the brighter side and try to make it work :)
@KateByDesign: Snow can be really amazing on your day, i know it isnt what you where expecting but it can make for REALLY pretty pictures, as for the honeymoon, just put it off for a little bit and take it in a couple months... Look at it as what if you where alreayd there and in the hurricane and now your honeymoon is really ruined just look at the brighter side, now you can just reschedule it :)
We are getting married in less than two days!!!! How crazy is that? Im so excited and running around like a crazy women but tomorrow im not doing anything but getting my nails done... Relax ladies and enjoy your day!! I expect to see pictures ASAP after the weddings :)
Happy Rehearsal Day/Day Before!!!!!!! I hope you all have beautiful weather, and do nothing but enjoy your day!!!!! Eat protein and carbs, and drink plenty of water. I can't wait to see/post pictures!!!
I'm just so excited its too late to fix anything that could go wrong now :-)
