2 weeks from today freak out

LadyH, on September 8, 2018 at 10:35 AM Posted in Planning 0 6
Hi everyone,

I am getting married two weeks from today and I need a good venting session

1. I am a bride with anxiety hinting at hypochondria and so these last two weeks are brutal! Constantly checking in with myself, worrying about not being 100% on Wedding day (I’ve been having some mystery eye problems and taking steroids which isn’t helping) not sure if it’s allergies or what.

2. Maintaining weight right now for dress fitting with all this stress is really challenging!

3. We’re getting our marriage certificate Tuesday and I still don’t know what I want to do about my name. That has been a big one the last few weeks and I’m not sure I’ve made any progress.

4. We’re supposed to go to Kauai in 15 days but it’s been pouring all day there still in the storm. No idea what to do if we should consider cancelling or not.

There’s more but I’ll spare you all. Anyone else feeling last minute pressure or relate to any of this?! I feel like i am falling apart!

    I should also mention I’ve been so overwhelmed I forgot to take my birth control for THREE days (I haven’t done that in 8 years) and totally screwed up my cycle. So hormones.... that too.

    #3 - you don't have to decide what you're doing with your name right now, or even right after the wedding. Scratch that off your stress list. 😊

    #4 - why would you cancel your trip 15 days out? Storms don't last for 15 days. And even if it rains, who cares? It's your honeymoon! So scratch that off too.

    #1 - A quote from my mother - STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. YOU ARE FINE. Trust me, I know how it feels to be a hypochondriac at times. Your eyes are fine, and anxiety does some crazy stuff in people. Scratch that off your list too. Unless you have pink eye. Then don't scratch and get back to the doctor. 😊

    #2 - If you're losing weight because of stress, eat ice cream. Problem solved. 😊

    In all honesty, I have dealt with anxiety before. It's no picnic. But you'll be fine. Just start thinking past the wedding to the honeymoon and how relaxing it will feel to have this big celebration you've been planning for so long behind you. Not everything will be perfect, and that's ok! Good luck!

    Hi date twin!! Right there with you. I feel like I wait till the last minute for everything, and I wonder why I’m so stressed out. Still have a bunch of DIY to do and decisions to make, which I’m not good at. And the weather forecast keeps freaking me out!

    I agree with all of this except #3 because depending on her state (California for example) she has to put on the marriage license what she wants her new name to be after marriage. It's true she doesn't have to change it officially immediately (I've been married 8 months and am just now starting the process!) but if she doesn't mention the new name on the license then the only other way to change her name is through court which is a longer and more tedious process.

    Exactly!! I am a California girl and this has been the hardest thing. I’ve heard it’s much harder to do later so I’m scared to wait but also don’t want to rush the decision.
