OK I refuse to believe that I'm the only one who feels this way.
8/21/10 bride FAIL
I have my comprehensive exams for my PhD in a week (written exam) and a week and a half after theat the oral exam and so that has taken over my brain!
The 2 months thing is scary but I have to get past one obstacle before I can move onto my never-ending list of to do's.
The things that I have to get down during this week because my fitting is 2 days after the written exam is finish my DIY veil (just have to glue it on to the comb properly) and finish my DIY hot pink crinoline.
Really I am soooo stressed I am just taking it one day at a time!
Well I'm an 8.14.10 bride and I still have five million things to do. It's like getting one thing done actually adds stuff to do. Yes. I'm so overwhelmed I'm starting to procrastinate. Oh well...even if I totally mess up the name cards or forget the chair covers, we'll still be married in the end, right?
Aaaah OK there are my August girls. Phew.
@FutureMrsMartin - EEK! I can't even imagine having a Ph.D. on my plate in addition to everything else. You totally win.
@TheFutureMrsK - I hear you on the procrastinating. It almost feels like I'm mentally paralyzed by the amount of stuff on the to-do list.
Can I just mention we don't have wedding bands? Yeah.
dont feel alone I'm august 22, 2010 and i am sitting here working on finishing my semi-d-i-y invites as we speak...still to do book a make up artist and I broke up with my hair dresser lol so I need to get that straight my fifth bridesmaid who is my sister still hasn't ordered her dress, the baker for our venue has not returned our call in over a month and I'm just now setting a date this weekend to sign the contract for the photographer. If it makes you feel any better my fiance has the same response he always says stop stressng it'll all come together 
just oblivious to all the minor details and planning that has to be done.
Another one here!
My days and nights are completely immersed in our to-do list.
It WILL get done, girls :)
I'm just trying to take it one day at a time. Everything that we have left to do is the "extra" type of stuff. If it gets finished, cool, if not, life and the wedding will go on. Just try to do one thing each day, and your to-do list will dissapear quickly!
Umm yeah! BIG TIME brain a-spload over here! This weekend I went nuts and went through all my contracts and papers to make sure I had all my deadlines and tasks planned out in my appointment book. I started freaking out last week, which is what prompted that.
I feel like we have alot to do for the ceremony. We had out first meeting with the church liturgist on Saturday where she gave us a worksheet and a book to read and told us all the stuff we need to choose.
Today I am feeling anxious for sure.
I keep feeling like I am forgetting something. And since FI isn't really doing any planning that makes me freak out more because I feel like if something doesn't happen it is MY FAULT.
I go through the weddingwire and knot's checklists to make sure everything is getting done.
Another thing stressing me out is the RD. FMIL still hasn't planned any of it and that makes me anxious. She is so wishy washy. Every time I talk to her about it she says "Oh, we'll figure it out. We just have to figure it out." GAH!!!!!
"We'll figure it out" is the most annoying effing response. I've been getting a lot of that. It's like how about we ACTUALLY FIGURE IT OUT not talk about the fact that it will be figured out.
I wish I was one of those people that just floats through life all la di da, kumbaya, just letting things happen and not ever planning anything and somehow it magically just works for them. But I'm not. And I don't understand how those people successfully pull off a wedding.
I am refusing to acknowledge the date so that way I don't have a panick attack. I feel like I have so much to do not just with my wedding but our house that we are moving into when we come back from the honeymoon. I feel like I'm so behind, I'm hoping to finish my invites and send them out tonight because I am starting to get phone calls asking where they are.
@roxy - yeah we haven't gotten our invites yet and like three people this weekend at my MOH's bday party asked me if we called off the wedding. My response was for them to STFU if they don't want to be disinvited.
Every time I think about all of the things I still have to do i feel like vomiting. It doesn't help that I pour over this website all day looking at everyones awesome little details and big plans. Waaaaaay too much thought and not nearly enough action happening. ::sigh::
I'm totally freaking too!! as the 2 month mark started approaching, reality has totally hit me. now the two month mark is here TODAY, ahhhh!!! I got the invites out last week, what a relif that was, lemme tell ya! lol! but I still have a MASSIVE amount of diy stuff I need to finish and still need to meet with out officiant to figure out the ceremony, annndddd to top it off, I'm having my dress custom made and the seamstress is STILL working on it, a year later, yeah, not too pleased with that one, even tho she promised it will be done the first week in July. ugh, so much to do, so little time!
I’m a week later (08.28), but beginning to feel the heat. The only real issue I’m stressing about right now are the invites, which are not done yet – and some older relatives are starting to seriously &^#$% to my mom about “where is my invite!!!???” They have already made hotel and airplane reservations, they know where everything is taking place - so damn, what’s the worry????!!!! You’ll get your invitation!
The main issue with the invitations is that I thought (stupidly), that I could print up the RSVP inserts myself – big FAIL. So, I have had to go back to my printer, who I hope will have them done this week. I also need to buy RSVP envelopes (oops, just remembered that right now), and postage.
I haven’t had any fittings for my dress – but I did make the appointments. Still need to pick out songs for the DJ, decide if we are hiring or firing the pretty flaky jazz band (for cocktail hour), and need to make up all my DIY paper goods: place-cards, table numbers, menu cards, etc.
Oh, and I need to either order some flowers from 50flowers, or go to a flower shop and order my bouquet. A million other little things.
Rawr.
OMG We're all feeling the same way. AT least I'm not alone. My brain feels totally fried. Too much to think about and I can't even work. I haven't done anything after work except our DIY invitations and work on my to do list. AHHH!!! I'm going to order the FG basket and RB pillow right now lol. Good luck ladies. You can do it!!
I'm losing it too! Good to know I'm not the only one and we'll all get it done. Hang in there everyone.
BIG SIGH from me. :(
I'm stressing because my family keeps telling me I need to work out harder so I fit into my dress (it wouldn't zip up when it came in April). I know I've lost some weight, but I'm afraid it still won't fit and I'm afraid to go see the dress again.
Two month mark for me too! My freak out moment came last night when I was trying to sleep and just kept thinking about walking down the aisle....I got a major case of anxiety!
Totally agree. 
My freakout came over the weekend via my mom. She called me every single day insisting I do something about the "horrible" alterations job the seamstress did on the FG dresses. Came to find out last night it's not that bad. Totally fixable and my mom is going to fix it for me so I don't even have to worry about sending it back.
I am having a meltdown RIGHT NOW...while fighting with my fiance. :-( I'm letting him assemble the invitations while I'm venting here lol. He deserves it ;-) Bout time he helps more!!!
Well, I'm glad I'm not alone!!
Been having trouble sleeping. Figuring out the most minute and trivial details at 3am in bed.
I was feeling pretty good about everything until this week hit. Now I've been up in bed wondering about crazy stuff that I know is under control. Glad to hear I'm not the only one feeling a little overwhelmed!
Well um I don't even HAVE my dress yet sooo there's that. Also a million other things, but that is a big one. Also I want to lose ten pounds in like a day. Horrible. Just horrible.
Hang in there, girl! Trust me, I was so overwhelmed two months out and it never got better. But everything comes together! People pull through, things get done or you decide they aren't important enough for the stress. At the end of the day it's about you and your husband don't lose focus! :)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
How is it possible that I only have two months to the day and I have so much crap still to do?!?! I'm kind of losing it. Not full on losing it but just my brain is totally overwhelmed and I keep thinking of things still on the to-do list. Somehow it keeps growing instead of shrinking. FI's (and everyone else's) response is OH it will all get done. Don't worry so much! Not at all a helpful response.
Where my 8/21 girls at? Are you having "a moment" today?
