This will probably be a long post. Today has barely started and it is already not my day. Our wedding is Oct. 3, so 4 days away. My fiance and I's favorite cousin on his side cancelled coming to the wedding a few days ago because she tested positive for COVID, which sucks but we totally understand and wouldnt want her to come with the virus. So I adjusted the seating chart around and updated it with my coordinator. Yesterday my MUA, who is a distant family relative, informed my dad that she would be bringing her best friend as a +1 to the wedding. She was not given a +1 and even filled out her RSVP as 1 attending out of 1, so this is the first time she ever mentioned having or bringing a +1. Even though I found this very rude, I didnt want to argue to cause any issues and risk her getting mad and not doing my makeup or something. So whatever, I added her to the list and now have to rearrange my seating chart again and update it with my coordinator and venue. I will have to put her and her +1 at a different table with strangers instead of family because I'm not supposed to go over 6 people per table due to COVID and the table with her family already had 7. Also yesterday, I had to take a test at work that is known for not being fun and failed, so I will have to go back and take it again at a later time. Yay wedding stress!
This morning, not only did I wake up a little later than normal to get ready for work, but I also broke my retainer while rinsing it out in the sink as it basically snapped in half. If you've ever worn a retainer, you know you HAVE to wear it every night or your teeth will move, and I've already had braces/invisalign twice. These things cost like $250-300 to replace, which is not something I really want to pay for right now. To top off all my last minute planning stress, I am getting my period today. This is planned for because I am on BC and it will be over by the wedding, but it is making me much more emotional. When I'm feeling sad or stressed, I always feel better after seeing and hugging my dog, who we had to put down a few weeks ago. I am still devastated he is gone and won't be able to see me or take a picture with me as I get ready on my wedding day. Needless to say, I basically bawled on my drive to work this morning and am just overall overwhelmed. I may take off work tomorrow so I can have one day to relax a little before I have to start running around and getting things ready for Saturday. Any words of wisdom or comfort? Thanks for listening.
