Weddingbee boards

Morning Bees,

These past couple of days, have been driving me nuts.... The wedding is almost of month away and I don't see any of myself in it at all. It started out as my dream but Mom-Zilla got involved and now EVERYTHING has gone her way... She called me the other day as she was meeting with the wedding planner... (wth?) and said this is what we are planning to do... UHHH NO... she's trying to add groomsmen to make it EVEN in the front. Who cares if it's even. I don't, he doesn't it about people that WE want standing up there. Then she calls the lady at the venue to discuss decorations... umm  excuse me.. then she calls me on the cell phone as she's talking to this lady saying "WE'VE decided it's going to be ...." I cut her off completely with a stern "NO that's NOT what I want" Ha guess what that's I'm getting anyway because according to her and the lady "it wouldn't look right  in the pictures"... WHO THE ____ CARES.. I'm not even doing posed pictures I want all candid pictures from the photography. It got to the point that I told her.. "If I wanted freaking MONKEYS hanging from the ceiling, it's should matter and should be done because THAT'S what I want" Her response.. it's you wedding do what you want.. then she nicely sets up an appointment for her and the wedding coordinator to go to the place WITHOUT me, to make arrangements.. I got NEWS for them I plan on SHOWING up and giving them all a piece of my WEDDING STRESSED MIND..

Then this morning.. my cousin emailed me.. Who knows I'm having a small wedding (the venue is TINY), "Is J & G invited to the wedding?" ummm "did they get an invite two months ago when I sent them out?" I'm struggling trying to figure out where the hell I'm going to put the 85 people in this place now and you want to ask me this..

Lord pray for me.. How are you alll doing with planning and stress.. heck how do you deal with the stress I need some tips.. ASAP. My neck feels like a 900ton elephant sat on it, because of the stress.

Bump!

@MrsSl82be- I'm meeting with her Monday for lunch to discuss everything. It's driving me nuts.

@AlmostMrsGiles - *Virtual Hug Back* - Thank you.. It's been like this since I started planning in July.. Hopefully it wont be as bad because you have a ways to go ;) and your planning EARLY.. I've tried to put this together in 4 months.. SMH.. What was I thinking lol!

@Kym080412 - Thankyou so much. OMG yeah your lucky. I'm trying my best to stand my ground. SN: I'm seriously thinking of having a stuff monkey strategically placed somewhere in the venue.. :) Hmm.. perhaps from the ceiling lol! My FI actually has brought me a couple that I can through in the maybe put one on the table lol.. My mom would probably FREAK out.. 

It's just hard trying to figure out WHERE are all these people going.. In the venue..

This is what my venue looks like.

@Kym080412 - I told my FI at lunch about putting one of the monkey's he gave me some where in there and he was 100% for it. LOL.. I'm sure that there will be a monkey somewhere in there. 

@LOGAHN1981: HI dear! *hugs*

I would call your vendors and wedding coordinator and tell them they are to no longer talk to anyone but YOU and you alone. They are to meet with you alone.

Your venue is breathtaking!!!

As for people asking about your guest list, tell them it is closed and thank you for asking.

"It's just hard trying to figure out WHERE are all these people going.. In the venue.."

Are there more guests than seating allows? 

Wow, your mom!  Ugh!
