    Something I also did a lot of that week was journaling! Since I was at work I just used google docs hahaha, but I basically just typed out a stream of consciousness of everything I was stressed/excited about. It was a great outlet for my stress and excitement to just write it all out, and it’s also pretty fun to read back in hindsight!

    My wedding is also this Saturday, the 29th. My last day of work was this past Tuesday, the 18th. We took a short end-of-week trip for my FH’s sister’s birthday To Florida to go to Disney and now we’re in wedding mode.

    I get the limited time we have since we have breaks throughout the year, but it does make it hard sometimes! We are getting married Easter weekend and have had a lot of complaints, but that’s the date that was best for us so 🤷🏼‍♀️. I can’t imagine being very productive week of the wedding though! Good luck!!

    My wedding is a Saturday and I took off Thursday and Friday before. It really just depends how much you have left to do! Maybe take half days for the rest of the week if possible ?

    I'm getting married on a Saturday so I'll be taking Monday-Friday off and also the following Monday. I'll have family in town the week of and also lots of cooking to do before the wedding since we're doing it ourselves so needed the extra time off.

    We are coming back for a week before leaving for our honeymoon to get everything settled again since our wedding is out of town.

    My wedding is on a Saturday. I am taking off the Thursday and Friday before and the Monday and Tuesday after so I can have some time to unwind after the weekend.

    Our wedding is on a Saturday, my last day of work is the Tuesday prior. I would request off more days, but I already requested a lot for our mini moon and it’s kinda hard to request off where I work since we’re always short staffed of nurses. Now I’m worried after reading your post lol I’m gonna be a mess

    You’ll make it. Today is my last day in the office (Tuesday) — I’m wishing I took off but it’s more to relax. I also feel a cold coming on so I will go in today, but will leave an hour early. I’m SO glad it’s the last day.

    I'll be doing my own flower arrangements and I'll need to go get last minute stuff squared away because I don't have a coordinator so I'm thinking take off Wednesday-Friday for my Saturday wedding. I also have that entire next week off for my honeymoonSmiley smile I can only imagine how hard it is for you to focus right now... lol
