Overnight I have…

I cant imagine what im going to be like 2 weeks before! Stress and post away!!

And breathe in...... You have 2 and a bit weeks left to go, you are totally allowed to feel this stressed, just remember that it will all come together perfectly on the day and it will be fabulous......and breathe out............ ?

Thanks ladies. I don't know what's happened to me, I'm a shambles today! Im going to post my many questions and hopefully that will make me feel better and sort me out!

Write a list now while it's all in your head then cross it off as you go and post it on here so we can help/tell you that you are over thinking the list and tell you off/calm you down!

I sympathise with you !!

I have got a note book and written things to do before the wedding and I have 31 things ?

It didn't help that we had the big meet with the venue yesterday and there are things I hadn't even considered that need doing eeeek

So I share in your panic !

Ahhh yessss. I have fond memories of that feeling.

Now, are you prepared to make your post it note door???? Get an idea, write it down, stick it on the lounge door, the bedroom door, whatever.

when the jobs complete, tear it down and bin it....

our lounge door was a mass of pink, green and orange..right up till the moment I locked the front door of the house on the wedding day....

I think I must have about 30 things too JM! Im going to take half an hour at lunch and write everything down.

The post it door sounds like a great plan! I could probably cover every door in our house!

Waaah, I had wedding anxiety at the weekend and we've got 8 months to go ?

I empathise entirely. I love the post it note door idea, I might steal that!

Calm, relax, chill and take a big deep breath!

Once you've sat and thought about things and wrote them down you might find you haven't got as many things to do as you think. I felt the same of a million n one things to sort but once i'd done a list it got to about 15 things.

Delegate where you can, get family or bridesmaids to help.

Im doing the list just now!

I should bow my head in shame, look at me getting in a wreck and your so super calm with 3 days to go!!

Only cos i've been through exactly what your going through now 'OMG panic i've got so much to do!' Its only when i sat down n thought about things calmly that i realised it wasn't so bad. With 3 days to go i've still got stuff to sort tho but the list isn't 2 pages anymore! There are certain things that can't be done till the week before but try to get as much done without running yourself down.

Ooooo MissDD - hope you have calmed down a little. I always feel better when I get things written down on a to do list - then I wont stress about forgetting them.

Get them all down on paper, or on the door, or whatever and then just work on them 1 at a time. You'll get them all done and then you can relax ?

All will be well!!!!

Im embrassing the list, it is getting bigger by the minute, but I actually got some things done off the list today so feeling a bit better!

Missdeedee!!! Just saw your ticker!! Oh my goodness, where has the time gone?!

My list has grown again this afternoon, despite one of my bridesmaids getting hold of it and saying "right I am going to do this, this and this" It's not helping with my son being off school for two weeks now, so I won't get a minute to myself ho hum !!!

I haven't even got my underwear or a handbag or garter or my make-up or table decs or presents for various people, ok scaring myself now !!!

Suze xx

I don't know! It's honestly just disappeared! As has yours! How are you?

I can fully sympathise suze, I still need to get some gifts, get underwear, finish off my bridesmaid jewellery, finalise our tableplan, sort out music, I've not even seen a final version of our centre pieces...the list goes on and on!!

I'm getting a tad stressed now too, especially as usually i'm the sort of person who leaves things til the last minute anyway!! Not good in this situation!

The main thing I need to sort out is the table centrepieces! I need to find and buy 9 rectangular vases 16cm high and then get my bum down to the florists and get them to order me enough pink tulips to fill them! And order a few balloons too, for the kids mainly.

Argh!

It's mad, I have spent the last few months feeling smug because I thought oh i've done it, when actually I had done nowt !

Music has been sorted, table plan is being done on the 20th........

I need to meet with the florist, but the thought of taking my son into a florist with lots of lovely glassware in there fills me with dread !

My flowergirl dresses aren't in yet, one of my flowergirls lives in Tenerife and she is trying her dress on for the first time on 28th April, 3 days before wedding ! I still haven't got her shoes..........

Had my first dress fitting today though, so I pick that up next week. No idea where I will store it, that's something else to add to my list ...find temporary home for dress !!!

Sarah, we are getting married on the same day. Im having tulips as my wedding flowers too, I love them!

Suze, I think that is a wise move NOT taking your son to the florist! Im exactly the same, I've felt like the super organised bride for so long and now im STRESSING! lol!

Yay 2 weeks on saturday!!! My mum keeps 'suggesting' alternative flowers that won't grow towards the light etc etc, but I'm having what I want! What colour tulips are you having? They are all beautiful aren't they! If the florist can't get hot pink (or they're more expensive) then I'll just ask for a mixture i think.

Yeah, don't take your little boy to the florist! I'm going on the way back from the registrar tomorrow morning. I'll have my 1 year old with me but he'll be in the buggy. My 3 year old is going to pre school tomorrow morning (paying for him tomorrow as we don't want to take him with us to the registrar!)

I had to take my munchkin to the dress shop for the fitting today, nightmare........I had tried to bribe him into sitting still by taking him to the beach on the way to the shop, so he had a little bit of sand on his shoes. He was being really good until suddenly he flew of the sofa like he was in a rocket launcher and landed with his feet inches from my train. The florist is a complete no no !!

He is very excited though, at the venue yesterday and while we sorting something out, he was practicing walking down the imaginary aisle holding an imaginary ring cushion !!

Sarah, Im having purple and ivory, I just love them, such nice fowers!

Oh JM, that is so cute, I can just imagine him with the imaginary cushion.

Claire, you'll be sick of wedding reports! Im actually quite suprised at how may people are getting married in April and May, it's more popular than I thought!
