A month ago, everything was stressful but slowly coming together. now I feel like it is falling apart.
Already had to replace one bridesmaid who had surgery yesterday to remove her gall bladder. Luckily my cousin came through and managed to get a dress off of Amazon pretty quickly.
I got diagnosed with Diabetes less than 3 weeks ago so now have been ordered to not even have a piece of wedding cake or a glass of apple cider for toasts and have to try to plan additional snacks for the day of when i'm supposed to be getting ready.
Groomsman/FBIL had an appendectomy less than a week ago.
Best man's mother who was supposed to help with the children had a stroke right about the same time.
Medical emergencies cant be helped and I completely support these people in stepping out to take care of that stuff. The sheer volume of this, however, is seriously getting to me.
On top of that, my remaining bridesmaid and matron of honor got new jobs within the last month so they wont be at the rehearsal because they cant get the time off work. What upsets me about this is that I asked them well in advance to make sure the time I had set would be okay. I'm fully aware that they need to put their jobs first. Heck, if my MoH doesn't keep hers, mine is also gone (i'm her babysitter). I just wish that could have atleast told me a bit sooner.
Then a dear mentor of mine and young lady I've been mentoring both cancelled yesterday after confirming due to life stuff which i would separately completely understand except that this totals 5 guests whom I have already paid for and planned into the seating chart, among other things along with the other 10 who never replied either way so I am likely going to have quite a bit of empty spaces at tables.
I'm trying my hardest to concentrate on the positive and spending my wonderful FH who has been nothing but supportive. It just seems like every time i'm back into happy mode, something else comes up. Am I wrong to be frustrated by all this?
