44 days ! Excited but Anxious!

View quoted message We have the same wedding day Nicole!! It's coming up so fast. I did it all by myself too - I hired a wedding coordinator for the day of so I could have help with the timeline and the day of (she's also my decorator) but its been a fun but a bit stressful experience. Before we know it we will be married and all this planning will be behind us!

Our wedding is in 25 days, and also getting married in another province. We live in AB currently, getting married in BC. It has been a task to plan the wedding from here (and doing it all myself with no planner). I'm sure your wedding is going to be absolutely beautiful! In terms of stress, I haven't dealt with it well. It's been months of anxiety and extreme stress and I just can't wait for our day to be here.

Thank you so much Misa! I've been doing the same and googling 'top 10 things brides forget about for their wedding' and they've actually come up with some really good results that I hadn't thought of. Just finalizing the ceremony music and finishing up the yard since we are having ours at home.

Wishing you all the best on your big day

Omg 20 days!! It's so soon You're right, it does go by really fast. I have been watching youtube videos by Jamie Wolfer ( a great wedding coordinator who has videos with all tips like 25 things not to forget etc) and making lists just to make sure I am on top of everything!

I think that it's pretty normal for all of us to feel a little overwhelmed, it's not like we have any experience in planning a party for 100+ people! I definitely look forward to be marrying my man and I'm super excited for our honeymoon that will be coming up soon after. Congrats to you, I hope you will enjoy the last couple of weeks and your day will be just as beautiful as you imagined it

I hear you. I am under the 20 day mark until our wedding now and am starting to feel anxious as well. Almost like a cheese ball of emotions. Excited and then anxious. Surreal and then panic of what I may have forgotten. I am really looking forward to not planning a wedding anymore and feel pretty similar to you! I think all of it is pretty normal and I think all you can do is feel every emotion as it comes at you to get the whole experience of the event.

When it starts to get really heavy just take a step back, take a deep breath, and remind your self what is important about the day. Getting married to the one you love. Everything else is just extra.

Congratulations and these days will go by faster than you think. Everything will be wonderful.

View quoted message Hi Vinod!

Wow! Lots of coincidences with us! Congratulations on your upcoming 2 year anniversary

Dionne

I was going to say your area isn't far from where I am and you both would be getting married close in dates by a week and a day of our anniversary. We will be coming to 2 years in August 25.

View quoted message My wedding is at Cardinal Golf Club in King City. I'm.sure your wedding will be perfect in every way. I can imagine with you being out of town that makes the nerves a tad more heightened! Do you have a coordinator? I've not much left to do except meet with our photographer and DJ. I also have 2 more dress fittings. My MOH is pretty awesome and frills me every so often on what needs to be done. Cant wait ti see your pics! You're right though our nerves are pretty normal at this stage of the game.

No way! Where are you getting married? I am the one who lives out of town so it makes it hard - I haven't seen my bridal party since the xmas holidays. I think it will be okay and I think ( I hope) that it's normal to feel nervous! Do you have alot to do still?

I honestly didn't realize there would be so much drama loll I have been a maid of honor 3 times and every time I just buy what they tell me, show up when I am expected to and play the part!

Looking forward to enjoy the day of that's for sure!

I'm glad for you goodluck

My wedding is also Aug 17!!! I must admit I am freaking out a little bit. We have a bridal party if differing personalities. And one liberal out of town. We ste having great challenges trying to get everyone together in one space for a pre-wefdin debrief. I think we will get together with whomever can make it and the others will just fall into place. We are not having a rehearsal at our venue because it's out of town and they charge $160 per hour. Nor will we have a rehearsal dinner. I'm nervous about all of this but you are right...if I go to bed Aug 17/18 our wedding will have been a success. Good luck

So exciting! I love planning the wedding, but the damn drama that comes with it is stressful. Thankfully I have my sister to vent to which is amazing and she gets the whole wedding drama stuff.

Most of them are really good and few who just don't care and won't fake for anyone- 2 dropped out because they couldn't get along and variety of other issues.

View quoted message

Oh wow!

I think my girls will be good at ''faking it'' at the very least. I did tell them when they were planning my bachelorette that they could just go ahead and cancel it and I would just figure something out myself because I wasn't going to have my best friends fighting a week before my wedding day. So after that it did calm down thankfully. I hope your bridesmaid will be able to just suck it up for the day!

My wedding party didn't get along until after we had a buck & doe and they all had to work together. Some still don't, but I told them all- if you can't put me before your self on my wedding day, keep the opinions and comments to self, not get along, or act like a brat I will ask you to leave the day of and won't be putting up with it. They all said they would make it work, also explained that paying a lot for photographer so I don't need them acting like they can't stand near each other during the photo's and turning out like crap. They understood and if they don't day of they will be asked to leave. Two girls who really didn't like eachother before buck and doe worked together so well and now are planning a bach for me together! Never thought that would happen

Yes! Exactly. Its like the big things are mostly done but you don't want to forget about the little things either. We got this though Im trying to cross a few things off my checklist everyday/week.

The speeches are hard, you don't want to forget anyone. I have a note in my phone and everytime I think about something I write it down!

View quoted message

Yes, I understand that. Its so overwhelming when you decide who to go with!

View quoted message

It is! I am trying to tell myself to be excited for it and not worry so much about the possible fights!

View quoted message

Its who I am too! I love Lush, its been my savior, and trying not to drink TOO much wine hahah

View quoted message

Thank you I think I do, I have a master check list and been giving myself a few tasks a week so I don't over do it haha. I think once the bachelorette does happen it will be better, I can't imagine they will fight during the wedding (right?!) lol but yes, Im going to the gym, and venting to my FH!

We are getting married a week apart (I'm getting married on the 11th), so I feel you! There's both so little to do and so much to do at the same time. I have to finalize the ceremony, music, reception timeline and seating chart. I'm stressing most over my thank you speech.

I’m with you girl, I want it to be done and I’m still over a year away! I’m basically done planning but felt overwhelmed with all the choices of vendors.

Thats so exciting you have less than 2 months to go! Woo

Seems the checklist is coming down to its final details and timings for the day.

Stress wise, its easy to say to the girls they should put their best foot forward and not put up a fight. Can't be unless something does come up. Be excited and look forward to your day and celebrate it till your hearts content to its fullest with everyone.

I am in the same boat! I have nothing really to worry about - but it's who I am! lol

To deal with the stress I find that a bath with a bath bomb from Lush and a glass of wine do the trick quite nicely

Very exciting! You have worked your butt off planning it and sound like you have it all covered. a day coordinator will be a life saver! I know you have soo many personalities but once they work together or finally spend time together, it does get better. I have a huge class as well with personalities.

For me the stress, I get either on a cleaning spree which I hate lol or go for a run which isn't me either. It helps me a lot though, or talk to someone I know will just let me vent and won't make comments that will make it worse.
