I just want this thing OVER WITH!!!!

LovelyLovely, on April 18, 2017 at 11:19 AM Posted in Planning 0 29

I've been planning this wedding since July of 2016, and it's now only 4 days away. I didn't believe my friends when they said that I'll be so annoyed of everything by the last few weeks. Well here I am, and I am ready to get this damn wedding over with, it's to a point where even thinking about it makes me want to just scream and stress out.

I'd say I had a pretty smooth planning process - I have a wedding coordinator, loving friends and SIL wanting to help with everything, no trouble booking any vendors, etc. But somehow, and I don't know how, little details and tiny problems keep swimming in my head at night, causing me to lose sleep and start to stress. I feel like I don't have details regarding the rehearsal dinner, the best man doesn't have his speech ready (at this point, I don't care if he has one or not), I don't know when to drop my dog off at my parent's house. Yeah, little things. I just want it OVER and DONE, so I can NEVER THINK ABOUT THIS AGAIN, and we can go on VACA!!

    RELAX, no matter what happens or "goes wrong" these will all just be funny memories you remember for years to come. You are marrying the love of your life. That is the only thing that matters at the end of the day. No one will notice anything that "went wrong" but you. Remember that! Smiley smile

    I've been so over the planning since before I started planning ! Lol. It is the little details that stress me out also. The best man speech will be fine and if he doesn't prepare it then it will just be short and he will be embarrassed, it's no reflection on you. Rehearsal will be fine just plan out what you want to tell everyone in regards to the ceremony and processional and entering the wedding and feed people or give them drinks and you'll be fine. Don't lose sleep, or try not to because you don't want to be fatigued for your big day. Goodluck !!!!

    I feel you... I really haven't had any issues or drama until the past couple days, when I found out a distant cousin (who wasn't invited) was planning on coming... She was all "oh i've made a gift and I have a hotel room!" I just had to be a big bitch and say nope, sorry. No room. Ugh. I'm ready for it to be over just so I can be done planning and go back to normal life!

    I completely understand. I'm 17 days away and I'm over it. I have been for months. Having to worry about every little thing. I am the same way. I can't wait for the day to come. I think a courthouse wedding would have been just fine at this point.

    It's normal. Don't stress on the tiny details in the end no one will notice and you won't even care the day of because you are too busy celebrating. I think once you accept the fact that things WILL go wrong you'll start to feel better. Trust that all your hard work and planning will fall into place because it will and you will have the best day of your life. Good luck! Smiley smile

    Take a deep breath and remember it's only one day...and everything will come together how it should. You get to marry a great person (I'm assuming) and take a kick a$$ vacation/honeymoon. Enjoy it!

    I feel ya! 10 days out and people are coming at me with "should I....", "can I .....", "do you want...." questions and I'm like I. Don't. Care. Haha! I know it'll all come together and as long as we have good food, booze and a DJ we'll be fine and no one will care about the little details. Until then, thank god there's wine.

    Just chill and enjoy it all. Sure things are annoying, that's life, but your only going to get this day once. (Well suppose to be only once) so make the most of it and enjoy every minute even the annoying ones!

    You're almost there! I went with the simplest details in order to not have to do much this week but there are still more things I hadn't thought to factor in so I understand how you feel. I'm letting most things slide because really, who will notice? Ha!

    Thanks ladies, for all your encouraging words! I feel like its one of those things that I will have to have a feel for on the day of for me to feel confident about all the things that are going on. I guess I'll have the best idea on the day of the rehearsal (Friday). Meanwhile, yes, I will take the wine and try to de-stress for the next few days xD
