Hi Date twin :)
I keep running through things in my mind too. I think I've got everything under control but I feel like there should be more to do lol. I keep making lists. Thankfully we are keeping it very small and simple so I can stay some what calm. I'm so excited to just get married and go on our honeymoon and continue on with our lives :) I'm going for my trial hair and make-up friday which is exciting but I can't make a decision on what I want to do lol.
Things are coming together finally. I'm done with my stupid bubbles (what a waste of time!!!) and moving onto designing my tags for the favours, pashminas, and flip flops. I have to go buy the paper for my programs, menus and escort cards. I feel pretty pulled together at this point. We figured out what we're getting for my parents, but not for FMIL..... First fitting is next week. Hanging out with Jillian Michaels a lot to get ready for that ;)
I'm finally starting to see what it's all going to look like. My major stressor is lighting the tent and getting something hung over the dance floor. But even that I feel like it'll come together. Oh and we're supposed to be borrowing all our china, glassware and silverware from a friend's banquet hall and I have a gut instinct that it's going to fall through, so I've put FI in charge of sorting that out this week so I can book everything from our rental company instead.
I'm good today, excited that RSVP's are going to start rolling in (sadly didn't get any yesterday - boo!) soon. I got my timeline almost completed yesterday and am going to run it through my DOC soon to get her take on it.
Something I am worried about is the centerpieces - I've done two trials thus far and still don't have anything that I LOVE. Hopefully within the next week or so I'll get it figured out.
I am SO excited that we are getting our envelopes in the mail today from our calligrapher, and we can send out the invitations sometime this week! Woo hoo! And then I get to start stalking the mailbox for RSVPs :) Another thing on my mind is that my mom (who is planning my bridal shower) keeps asking me random questions like my fave candy as a child. I'm interested to see what she's putting together, lol.
I'm freaking out! So many little things to do and I'm planning my wedding from afar. I've been freaking out so much that I was up at 4:00 in the morning making a "to-do" list of all the little things that were keeping me awake!! My dress has still not come in despite ordering last Thanksgiving (they have promised me that it should arrive by ending of the week, but still!). So many little details still to figure out. yikes!
there are many things i would like to DIY for the wedding, but i just can't seem to start or, even if i did start, complete. not that i'm lazy, it's just that i'm really not sure whether they would fit for the theme that i want. i wish i have one set of EVERYTHING so that i can try out the placements and check the fit..
i am kind of freaking out....
the RSVP due date is friday and we only have like 20% response. Looks like im gonna have to start calling folks.
the vases i have ordered from various vendors (and one private person here on the bee) have had various problems (one was broken upon delivery, and the one from the bee hasnt arrived yet and its been 2 weeks im starting to freak out that she just took my $!)
my mom is going slightly crazy and its really pissing me off.
i am not losing the weight i would like, but whatever, next dress fitting is also friday.
I am sick of being broke...
i cant concentrate on work...
and i am counting down the days til i can put this whole wedding crap behind me, be a married woman, enjoy my honeymoon and have my life back.
i should have eloped.
@spaganya - I hear you I'm feeling the same way. If we knew then what we know now things would be so easier : )
Hmm...I'm beginning to think I'm too chill about everything lol. Our main thing right now is worrying about numbers....particularly coming up short. Our venue has a 175 minimum and right now, with the responses we have gotten, if everyone else left to respond says yes, we're still only at 167...so we're trying to think of who else we want to invite - either way we pay for 175 so we want 175 people lol. Other than that there's a ton of things to do...but I have a week off in the beginning of August between jobs so I guess that time has chilled me out some :)
HunnyBear-- I feel pretty chill too!!
Just had the our wedding shower sunday so now I am really digging into the details for the wedding. I can not beleive that its only 7 1/2 weeks away!! =-)
im caught between freaking out and acting how i usually am under pressure.
as far as wedding, i'm not too worried... the only major thing left is picking out fi's ring at the end of august/first week in sept and "week of" activities.
it's the finals coming up in 3 weeks thta's stressing me out!
CAN'T WAIT FOR OUR HONEYMOON!
Our invitations were sent out this morning! woo hoo! What a weight off my shoulders. Now I can start stalking the mailbox :)
@aandmklover: we just had our wedding shower on sunday too! that day flew by, i can only imagine how fast the big day will go by!
I am like you, I cannot stop thinking, talking, eating, sleeping weddings.
My invitations are out and i am so thrilled about all of the compliments we have been getting on them. That stress was worth it...Now comes the RSVP's. Too many people have been "telling" me they are coming. You need to send them back people!
I have a dress fitting tonight at 5:30. Last night I pigged out and drank way too many beers. So, this should be interesting. I needed the stress relief though.
My shower is in 2 weeks and I have a whole slew of projects I lined up for this weekend. One includes finishing table numbers.
Family members are becoming more supportive as we get closer. I think everyone is excited now and less stressed.
I am also sick of being broke and spending all my extra $ on ETSY.
My FI and I spent all last Friday evening printing, cutting and rounding corners. My freakin' arm hurt all weekend because of that! Then Monday I picked up the postcard stamps I forgot to get on Saturday before the post office closed, damn them for not selling them in the kiosk boxes in the lobby(!), and we wrapped all of them in baker's twine and got the invites in the mail yesterday! Woo hoo!!!
We still need to find my FI a vest to wear for his outfit the day of the wedding. How hard is it to find a vest for a 6'4", long torso'd, barrel chested dude with muscles, um hard! I need to start on programs and stuff but I finally just picked a florist yesterday for my bouquet and his bout and I'm glad I took that stressor off my shoulders to do over wedding weekend. Yeah!
Oh and while we are doing a dessert bar with pie, lemon bars, cookies and mixed fruit, I have decided I really want a cake topper on a very simple 6" cake so we have some cake to eat on our anniversary and somewhere to put our cake topper :) Sooo, now I need to find a great tasting cake somewhere that doesn't look like hell like I've seen recently---some of them are so ugly!
Oh my gosh, I'm so jealous of all your honeymoons! We don't get one because my love has just started a new job and can't take off. But I really need one after this hell. As someone wise said farther up, I WISH WE'D ELOPED!
I'm suprised we already have so many responses. We've gotten about a third of our responses back in about a week and a half. My mind flits from wedding stuff, to the honeymoon, to my lack of a job next year, and back again. I'm feeling like we're all set in terms of things to do but I'm filling a bit pressured because my to do list keeps growing longer and longer. I'm also really excited because we've started our dance lessons!
The last couple weeks have been consumed with worry, stress, sleepless nights, etc... My hair is falling out and I continue to have breakouts =( The major worry is how are we going to come up with the rest of the $ to finish paying for the wedding which is only 9 weeks away. (We are paying for everything ourselves with CASH!) If I didn't know any better, I would think someone has cursed us. My fiance was laid off a few months ago, and we have been getting hit left and right with unexpected bills like car expenses, dental & medical bills, etc.... Today, I could hear the "screeching" when I stepped on the brakes of my car! Ugh.....
I'm kind of freaking out myself. Like spaganya I'm kind of over it. I'm sick of planning. I'm passed the point of it being fun & now I'm at the "I just don't get why we need all this "stuff" just to be married" point.
There's too much on my mind and it seems like a mountain of work that will never get done.
We did make a deadline of Aug 15th - whatever's not done by that point... isn't going to be done. ;)
I'm hemorrhaging money. It's ridiculous. It never ends.
BUT I'm still having fun and that's the good thing right?!
I'm seriously making a list of things I MUST get done this weekend.
I feel like I'm at the point where I still have a decent amount of time but I need to make sure to get the important stuff finished (I got a "check minus" on "uses time wisely")
I don't really have a ton of stuff to do but I feel like I'm kind of procrastinating and I absolutely DO NOT want to be stressing last minute. I want to be able to enjoy the week before my wedding.
It's great to hear that everyone is in the same boat in terms of getting stuff done. last night I told FH that I am going to divide all the remaining weekends (6. SIX!?!?!) into "must do" to-do lists because I am afraid that something will get missed. Anything that he "doesn't feel like doing" on its assigned weekend (he is VERY involved in the planning) is either getting dropped or I am just going to do it myself. For the most part, things are progressing right along schedule, but we have a few huge things left to tackle - scripting our ceremony, creating the ipod playlist for the reception, and making my RD dress (I really should have started that little project earlier!).
The reason I started this post is that my dreams/sleep time have been completely consumed by the wedding in the last couple of weeks. I haven't felt this absorbed since I was studying for the bar! Last night I dreamt that it was well into our reception (maybe 1/2 hour until the end) and I suddenly realize that we never took pictures, dinner was never served, and there are no flowers! I am so totally Type A that this would NEVER happen to me, but I woke up in a cold sweat. It was exactly like that dream where you show up for a final exam and realize that you haven't been to the class once the whole semester... Shudder.
I think I need to start taking something to sleep.
@septcabride: i havent slept for more than an HOUR at a time in WEEKS. every time i fall asleep i wake up after about an hour, fall asleep 2 hours later, wake up an hour after that...
i feel like a crazy person. my brain wont turn off, and i cant concentrate on ANYTHING but wedding stuff. im going insane. *sigh*
I should be freaking out. Really, I should. But here I sit, doing nothing wedding-related on a Sunday. WTH is wrong with me?! LOL
I need to start placecards. Each is being individually detailed with an xacto knife so I really need to get on that. We have about 50 rsvps back - all but ONE are 'yes.' AHHHHHH! Had 2 showers last week so now our countertops are full of gift wrap, kitchen paraphenalia, and old things we're putting in storage. Our house is a wreck.
I need to finish my kissing balls. And figure out the order of our ceremony for our programs, then get the programs to the printer ASAP. Maybe we'll do that tonight. I need to mount our thumbprint tree guestbook in its frame and make a 'leaf your thumbprint' sign for it. I need to find a box for our wine box ceremony. I need to do a lot of things. LOL!
And yet here I sit... watching a chocolate ganache cake cool on the countertop. I swore I was going to lose 40 lbs before the wedding.. here I am 10 lbs heavier than when I started. So... that worked well. Bahahhaa. Happy Sunday Ladies!
@septcabride: i dunno - were you at the other table? i was at the same table as pencils - talking about the BBD.... (if you remember the funny story about the naked dude)
@twocatcupcake: oh my - you are hilarious. my apt is a mess as well, and i wish i was staring at a chocolate ganache cake! right now i am on a limited alcohol, no junk food diet. FML. and i am sitting in bed with FH watching willy wonka and surfing the web... LOL
I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO I FEEL LIKE IT WILL NEVER ALL COME TOGETHER AND I AM 23 DAYS AWAY. JUST DO NOT HAVE THE SUPPORT I NEED. WILL PROBABLY END UP WITH NO GROOMSMAN. UNBELIEVABLE!!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I have officially reached the point in the planning process where I have complete wedding brain - I live weddings, dream weddings, eat weddings, go to the gym for my wedding... I am really looking forward to the big day and the honeymoon (oh, man, the honeymoon - I can't wait to do nothing but sit on a beach and ponder my next cocktail), but I am also at the point where my mind is moving a million miles on minute on all sorts of wedding details and I have to remind myself to take deep breaths. :o)
So, ladies, I ask you today - what's on your mind? On your to-do list? What are you excited about? What are you stressing about? How are things going generally?
