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...

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!!

We have the same date! Today my florist asked me to send him the picture of the arch so he can start figuring out what to put on it and I thought he was providing the arch so we've had to find one last minute. But, I've decided to not stress about it. We're marrying our best friends and that's what truly matters! It's so hard to not to stress though, I'm right there with you!

It's time to let go of all the planning. What will be, will be, and at the end of the day you'll be married. Try to not worry and start enjoying what should be the happiest day of your life!

10 days away and have been planning since last April! I feel the exact same way. Nothing is going wrong, everything has been a smooth process, no drama, but now I go into work and immediately I get anxious thinking of everything I could and should be doing. Those damn little things really get to you. The problem is that now you are so used to being so busy all the time with wedding planning, its become an automatic reaction to get anxious thinking you have so much more to do, but you don't. You are good. Watch some bridal movies. I have Father of the Bride set to record tonight, Bridesmaids set to record on Saturday.

I know how you feel and let me tell you now that it's over . I feel like a weight has lifted off my shoulders. No more planning. But just breathe though. I feel like it's the anticipation that its almost here.

I hear ya, OP and date twin! I wish I had some good advice for you, but I am in the same boat (see my post "Need sleep!!!"). Sending you virtual hugs and good vibes, though.

I've been feeling the same way for a while and I'm the day before you. You are not alone!

In the past week I have found out my company is going through a merger and my uncle passed away (which we have no idea when services will be yet)...im so ready for it to be over and for me and FH to be on a beach in Hawaii!

I always thought my married friends were crazy for saying how much they hated wedding planning. Now I totally get it and completely agree.

Big hugs! I hear you! You are in the home stretch. Remember to breathe. I hope you get some "you time" in the next couple days to help the weight of this small things fall from your shoulders. I've been reading some of the articles by Sheryl Paul (author of The Conscious Bride) on her conscious-transitions.com website. She talks about how getting married is more than having a party, it is a rite of passage, and you are right in the thick of this transition. We are leaving behind our identity as a single person, and stepping into new terrain, and sometimes there can be a variety of emotions under the surface, and dynamics at play. I just mention this as it has been super comforting for me thus far in my engagement, and the chance that it might be supportive for you or someone else on here too. Good luck!
