5 weeks to go and i think i'm ready for a melt down

Oh dear, you do sound a little stressed! Lots of hugs and good vibes coming your way! ?

Im quite sure that after a year of effort and planning everything will come together nicely. Sounds to me though like you need a break from it all for a few days, its probably easier said than done but maybe try and put everything wedding related away for a couple of days, try and get it off your mind and then come back to it with fresh eyes after a rest.

Thanks Moya

I think i'm getting stressed because i have nothing left to plan if that makes any sense?? Everything is booked, bought and fully paid up.

I'm just playnig the waiting game so i'm trying to find things to do that don't need doing maybe.

Your right tho - i need to just forget for a bit

Thanks x

I know exactly how you are feeling, I worry that it won't come together too. You'll only find out on the day though (and on the day I'm sure you'll think it's all wonderful anyway!).

If it's any consolation, our landlords told us they want to move back into our house. So when it's 5 weeks to go to our wedding we will also be moving home!

It's just nerves - honestly! I was going slightly mental at this stage trying to get everything sorted and racking my brains for what I was sure I'd forgotten to do (nothing of course!). As for things coming together we didn't have any sort of overall plan - our ceremony had readings from Plato, Navajo, Apache and ancient Scottish sources just because we liked the individual readings - the only thing that had any sort of cohesion at all was the colour scheme (and even then OH's kilt was a completely different colour!) and it all came together fine. What you've chosen is stuff that YOU and your H2B like so that's all it will take to bring it all together.

If the RSVPs are worrying you could you maybe have H2B's folks (if it's that side of the family) contact the stragglers just by phone or whatever and mention that you need to give the venue final numbers so could they confirm that they are coming as their RSVP hasn't arrived yet (blaming the post is always a safe bet!)

Relax, and enjoy your engagement shoot - good photographers put you at your ease and even if your shoulders usually shoot towards your ears in the presence of a lens (that's me!) they'll get good shots.

Fancyfree - thats a toughie and tops any of my worries!! hope it works out ok

AlmostMrsP - Thanks - your right. Its is everything we want so even if it somethings don't quite match and seem a bit out of place it won't matter because its what we have chosen.

As for the photo shoot - anything could happen!!! Shopping trip needed i think then when i know what am wearing it might chill me out a bit (and the vodka i'm going to neck before) lol

Thanks ladies - makes me feel bit better knowing other b2b have a freak out moment x

Oh dear! I'm sure it will be fine! If it makes you feel any better, I'm getting wed on the 18th of feb 2010 (43 days to go!) and haven't even got a dress or bridesmaid dresses sorted yet ? but i believe that it will be the happiest day of my life- as yours will be so it will all come right in the end :-) xxxxx

Remind your self non of it actually matters, what does matter is that you are getting married. Another bride I know left her bouquet in the car and didn''t realise until after the ceremony and it didn't ruin the wedding. Ring people up and check if they are coming then you will know for sure.

You are perfectly normal!

I deal with Brides everyday who panic that this won't be right, or that won't turn up etc. It will be there and after all the hard work you put it in how could it go wrong? At the end of the day if something doesn't match, doesn't turn up or is not what you wanted exactly, only you will know as only you knew what you were having!

I have lost count of the number of Brides who have cried when they have walked into the venue we have dressed with all the bits & pieces they have taken months to put together, I try to set up the table for the Bride with everything on as a run through but believe me it never looks the same as all the tables set at the venue.

Enjoy the last few weeks & don't stress, for the photoshoot where something casual & that you feel comfortable in.
