46 days left and a little nervous overall!

Colleen, on July 29, 2019 at 21:21 Posted in Before the wedding 0 18

46 days left until I get married... I am so excited and I have watched the clock tick down over 365 days in high anticipation LOL! I was so excited to get in the double digits and now that I'm getting so close I am just slightly nervous. Nervous about the overall day and hoping everything turns out ok timing wise for the ceremony, hoping the pictures of us and our families are good and that the weather is cooperative, and yada yada yada. What are all your worries approaching the big day!?

The thing that keeps me sane with the wedding planning stress is my future husband and the support from both of our families (specifically mine and his mom, they are both supermamas!). No matter what the only thing that truly matters is having that day with the love of my life and reading to him the vows I wrote about how much I love him and want to spend the rest of my life with him as husband and wife/partners. Oh and I'm super excited for him to see my dress!!!!

    We're wedding date buddies woot woot!!!! Smiley smile

    Same boat, we couldn't afford that luxury too... it sucks! Though wedding planning has given me some new skills in event planning so there's always that lol.

    Oh ya, you aren't alone in that. But we'll both be great and float down the aisles like god damn super brides!

    Sorry to hear your parents are having a hard time, that must be very hard. I'm so happy you two get to have your day with the friends who love and support you though, no need for negativity on such a special occasion Smiley heart Congrats!!!

    I feel ya!!! Only 44 days left for us and I am soooo stressed out and nervous !!!! I’ve been doing the wedding planning since we couldn’t afford a wedding planner and it’s been a lot to deal with. I just want the wedding to go smoothly especially the ceremony is making me nervous the most ! I am scared I am going to trip on my dress and fall face first ! We opted for a small wedding with only close friends since we are 2 brides and both our parents have a hard time accepting the fact that we are getting married ! But I cannot wait, can the day come any faster please so all my stress goes away !

    I'm 81 days away now and I feel like time is just flying by!! It feels like yesterday that we were still over a year to go.

    Right now I'm stressing over some of the final DIY I'm doing at my house. I have more planned when I'm at my mom's in August so I want to get this stuff done. For the most part, things seem to be falling into place, check back when I'm at 46 days lol!

    I've never even used cheques before so having to dole out multiple fat cheques in the first month of having a cheque book is terrifying! I hear ya girl.... I could use a pot of gold right about now haha.

    That is so sweet Smiley smile I make my man do that same LOL! It's like 'babe I know you aren't in the know about the wedding plans but please just tell me everything is going to be ok!!!!!"

    Oh my goodness, 18 days; that's super duper close!! I relate to being a ball of stress and worrying about being worried so much LMAO... The stress and worries about random nonsense always pop up right as I am trying to sleep or read or relax. You are right though, eyes on the prize! Getting married and celebrating with all the family and friends!

    Omg I 100% feel you... RSVP is a whole other stressor! I don't get why people don't just RSVP as soon as they have the invite... I also somehow let my guest list go way past our original number so glad I'm not alone in that Smiley tongue !

    Aweeeee I love seeing other brides with Sept 14 as their big day Smiley heart I hope yours goes smoothly and that you have the best damn time !

    Yup, here's hoping everybody has a watch and an awareness of time on the big day lol Smiley winking

    Oh yay! Hope it all goes great! That is so nice to do a trial. I've been flip-flopping on if I should get a trial hair session or just go in there and have them do whatever. I'm not much of a visionary for the hair but I do have this porcelain flower hair piece so a trial might be a good option. We'll see!!

    Same date as you girl and the only thing on my mind right now is RSVPs. I am getting seriously nervous that I still haven't heard from so many people and I'm dangerously close to going over my max guest count. SOOO NERVOUSSSSS

    I'm with you on the stress of the day timeline. I am always on time, and pay attention to time lines very closely, so I am just hoping that everyone else does lol!

    Also can't wait for FH to see me in my dress, I am getting my hair and makeup trial on Friday and I told him he can't be home when I get home so he doesn't see it lol

    I think all brides share the same worries! We are getting married in 18 days and I feel like all week I have been a ball of stress. To be honest, I don't know what I am actually stressed about - I hope I am able to let go the day of and let the day go with the flow. I am worried about being worried loll! Whatever happens, the important part is to keep your eyes on the prize - you will be getting married to your best friend and in the end, that's all that really matters!

    I completely get you! Right now I am just nailing down the last of the vendors and getting everything set for the day and figuring out how much money we will need in cheques and on hand and where we are pulling money from and omg where will this money come from?? lol, we have it but it's super scary knowing our bank account will be so low until we get presentation deposited (HOPEFULLY!).

    Totally I actually texted my FH that I was stressing and that I could use a call from him (he's been away on work most summer) and he called to try and help and I just told him I needed him to just tell me everything is fine and that I'm doing great Smiley tongue
