Today is exactly 2 weeks to the day before I leave...
I am completely EXHAUSTED! I just want all the planning to be over already lmao!

[jajajaja]

I think this is pretty typical. I was so bitchy the last month- the tiniest things set me off and made me grouchy. I'm not talking about wedding related stuff either. At that point, I didn't really have much to get stressed over so I just picked household stuff. lol

By the time we got to the wedding I totally had the "let's get this thing done!!" attitude. I really didn't care about the details anymore and it worked out great. We had a great time even though there were a few mishaps.

Now that I'm home again, I feel great. I love sitting back and not having this "wedding cloud" over my shoulders. I feel so free. haha

Basically, what I'm trying to say is that what you are experiencing is not unusual. Just try to let things roll off your shoulders and see the stress as what it is- silly wedding stuff. It will all work out beautiful in the end.

I was kind of freaking but then I decided to take 2 personal days off 1 this week and 1 next week and just wack away at any little thing left on my list. Ofcourse I should probably make a list first!
Hang in there, hopefully things will get less anxiety ridden, but how the hell would I know I'm in the same boat right now lol!

I'm leaving on the 10th too. I feel like every weekend is booked til then - 3 Phillies games, a Beef & Beer, a BDW lunch:), my bachelorette party, maybe a BD session, etc, etc. AAAHHH!!! I feel like I don't have the time to relax. But I took the day off work today to get stuff done, so I feel better.

A couple who had committed, and sent in their response card, decided they couldn't afford to come, and I guess they didn't think they needed to tell us. We just happened to call them because they were always a bit questionable, and sure enough, it's a no. I'm so relieved we called them!

It will help a lot if you list the things you are being chanllenged with. Believe me, all the people in this forum will make sure you make the right choice. Don't give up!!! You are in this for fun, not for stress:)

I agree!!! I live by lists and it's the only way I stay somewhat sane....I have 5 weeks and we still haven't done our music and fi hasn't bought his suit...plus some little things...but I'm not a complete stress case. I can look at my list and know there are just a few things on it still so I feel it's attainable!

Prior to yesterday I was in freak-out mode, but today I feel completely exhausted! I'm sort of like "Can't this be over with already" lol. I think my wedding cloud has just started to pour...

This happed to us as well :/
Unfortunatley, some people decided to not tell us they werent coming/change their mind a little too late in the game. What's ironic is that these specific people were the one's that were always like "we wouldnt miss it for the world" lol.

My room attrition had passed it's deadline and now I may have to pay four full nights for 3 rooms (with some wedding freebies removed as well) since I didnt meet the contract due to those cancelations. Ladies who still have some time to remove rooms from their block, trust me: "Maybes" are 99% a "No". I had to learn this the hard way!

This is exactly it!!! We decided that, yes they were embarassed to tell us, but it's way worse to not tell us and have us pay for dinners and drinks for them. It would be literally hundreds of dollars for them not to tell usThey should know because they're married.

The good news is we've pretty much confirmed with everyone. FI has one more phone call to make tonight, and finally I get to get our numbers in!
