Please please someone tell me it's all worth it!

ITS WORTH IT!

Sloping is for me but it's not for you or you would never have planned the big wedding. In two weeks it will be over and you will be married to your wonderful HUSBAND.

It's natural that this is the time you will panic that it will all come together and be amazing. And it will I promise.

Deep breath, glass of wine. Carry on. Forget the rules and just say what doesn't get done we do without and it will still be unbelievable. Xx

Eloping not sloping! Predictive text!

Haha, thanks Jayne. Just keep calm and carry on I guess. And yes wine, always wine!

And if possible take a day for you and do whatever makes you happy or have a massage or drink too much wine or wrap up and climb up a mountain ?

Remember the end result. Mrs x. The favours, centrepieces and all the rest of it matter not at all.

Anna-molly, are you sharing my brain?!

this is EXACTLY where i am right now. i wake up at 5 am every morning with a travel like mantra (tickets, passport, money, tickets, passport, money....etc) but for wedding! (dress, shoes, groom, dress , shoes, groom....).

arrrrgh. sorry to hijack your thread!

Can you do some delegating to your Mum, friends, doting aunties, etc? My Mum and I have already handed out a few jobs, and will hand out more as we get closer. People are generally happy to help and lighten your load

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way ... hopefully things will start to look up.

JayneE said exactly what I said to OH last night, all the planning, emails, filing, details are so important now but come the day after the wedding it's not half as important as it was ... The whole file will be shredded, emails deleted and that's it ....

I do understand, I am getting a panicky about remembering everything, my memory is bad at the best of times. All the little details I need to remember and then tell the relevant parties. I also wake up with lists in my head that keep me awake ... I think a certain amount of stress in normal in these circumstances or that's what they say.

I'm sorry to hear that the venue are also being difficult. I can't imagine how stressful that is! Are you able to talk to a more senior member of staff/manager about your concerns? I understand that you probably don't want to rock the boat as they have your special day 'in their hands' but a polite but firm word about your concerns should be taken seriously. Maybe OH could contact them?

SunnyPinkConfetti you read my mind, maybe try delegating some jobs and letting others know you are feeling the pressure? I know as brides we often take on the lion's sh

are of the jobs but since I told OH I was feeling overwhelmed he asks if anything needs doing more often.k

I hope that things start to get a little calmer

and you start to enjoy the run up to your big day a little more.
