| Weddiong planning... ugh! I am in wedding planning hell! I never thought it would be fun to plan a wedding... some women dream of this and are soooo good at it! I made all these vendor appts and I get 2 appts in and want to go with the first vendor we saw each time. I cancel the other appts. I was sooo done on saturday after only 3 appts (and one was 'the good one' cake tasting appt) I had a tension headache and had to take advil and go lie down at like 4 in the afternoon! What the heck is sooooooo enjoyable about all this???? I need some pointers and help getting through all these appts!!! Tonight is a DJ, weds is a florist, next monday is another florist, next weds, bridesmaid dresses. I made my fiance get his ring already bc I was sick of ring shopping. I'm hearing feedback from friends about who they used for vendors and now I think I need to cancel the florist appt for next monday and go with a new place appt. I am soooo not cut out for this!!! Not that I am complaining! I can't wait for the day, its just SOOOOOOO much work leading up to the day.

| haha, i wont give you much for advice, because let's just say we were still planning my ceremony about 2 hours before it happened. it was a beautiful outdoor location, and it started raining 20 min before the ceremony and everything was moved into the reception area last minute, i was pissed. it doesn't really get easier, it'll be stressful until your bridesmaids/groomsmen start walking down the isle but it'll be totally worth it when you say "i do!" unless you can afford a wedding planner to do everything for you! ...that would be a huge help!

| I can't really help either. Thought you might enjoy these two very different wedding tales, both absolutely true. My son and daughter(in-law) planned their own wedding. Pam did most of the work and she did a spectatular job. The wedding was here at the farm for approx 100 guests. BUT by one month out from the wedding, she was so over it, however I must say the kids pulled it al together and it couldn't have been more perfect. Thirty years ago my hubby and I were going to have a small, family only wedding at my parent's home. Late one afternoon - maybe 5pm or so, we had been working with the horses at his place and decided spur of the moment to get married that night. Of course we already had our license, my dress, and my bouquet. So... I called my mom asked her to have dad call the JP (who was our neighbor) to see if he could do the ceremony at 9:00 pm. On the way to take me home we stopped at a convenience store and got our reception items - a package of oreos and a 2 liter bottle of coke. The ceremony started promptly at 9:00 pm and by 9:15 Ron and I were married and headed to our blissful honeymoon camping trip. |

Luvs Lulu Donating Member | Take a deep breath and then elope The whole large wedding thing is rough. Maybe get a couple of your bridesmaides to pitch in and help you do it all. Hopefully Sal is going to be easy going and let you have your way. While it's overwhelming, take a woo sah breath and try to enjoy the process. Maybe try to not book too many vendor appointments in one day.

| best method is the KISS method Keep It Simple Stupid. Not calling you stupid at all, just keep it simple it's the best way. If it's annoying you to do all this hire a wedding planner/coordinator to do the footwork for you. Saves you time and energy of all these meetings and things. he/she will keep you in budget and save you the time of all the meetings. also don't try to do it all at once. i'm not sure your timeline, but i had a year to plan and was taking 18 credit hours of college and working three jobs and managed to do a little here and there and get it all done easily. you just have to prioritize, take your time, and don't overwhelm yourself into hating this. it's a fun and beautiful time. you get to CHOOSE everything yourself and it's the only time i remember being in total control. i loved it but i have a degree in recreation management so it's my thing. if you need advice or help just holler okay. take a deep breath and take it slower and don't try to do it all at once. |

| no matter what get SOMEONE to help the day of the wedding. that's the day you sit back, relax, take it all in, try to remember it because it flys by so fast and it's hard to remember a thing. and on the wedding day DO NOT, i repeat DO NOT do any of the planning or coordinating. let someone else lead and you just pamper and enjoy it. |

I think it totally rocks that Sal is doing his part. So many folks future hubbies tend to just want to show up and let the bride do it all.

| Thanks girls. Rachel, I have just over 5 months before the wedding. I was not going to do a big wedding, but none of the grand kids in my family have and my grandparents were so sad. My cousin did a wedding 2 weeks ago finally (their youngest grand child at 24) and they were soo cute and happy to be there. My grandmother has Alzheimer's and it's getting worse. I really want her to remember the wedding and be part of it. Plus I do not want the wedding planning going on for a year. I'm 35 and my fiance is 43, we don't need a year or more engagement, I would like it behind us sooner rather than later. I'll get through it. We met only 1 DJ and he was fabulous! He was soooo affordable and we booked him on the spot. Now we have a hall, DJ, photographer, dress, rings, favors and centerpiece ideas. I have a florist appt in 2 days and will start invitation work with my friend from work who is going to make our invitations. We have a lot of time to find a bakery for the cupcakes we want so I guess I can settle down a little bit!!!! Thank goodness!!!

| lol, it's hard when you are planning. At our wedding certain people were assigned jobs. My MIL made my wedding cake-hubby's most faved. And then she was also in charge of my rings, and the bag that would have cards with money gifts. My FIL was in charge of retrieving the family candles after the ceremony. My SIL de-bowed the church and made sure things were in order. My sis had the emergency sewing kit-just in case. The morning of my wedding, it was a rule that no one was allowed to ask me anything. So the night before, I had a list and everyone knew what their specific jobs were the next day. If you needed something, you had to figure it out or ask someone else. lol Best of luck to you. btw, I made all but the church's flower arrangments, bouquets and boutinares and corsages, the reception arrangements and pew bows and the wedding favors. I made the bridesmaids each matching angel and pearl earrings. I even cooked one of the dishes for the reception. I craft and had done catering and had my own restaruant so it wasn't so far fetched for me to do this. It made me more sane to do all of this than have to rely on others. I'm not a control freak by any means but I had a certain idea of what I wanted for my wedding and I enjoy it when I see results happening. lol

Remember to just take a moment out of each day to sit back and think, "soon I'll be his wife, and he'll be my husband." I bet just the thought will get you all giddy and excited. It's what really matters right?
