Wedding stress has set in!!!!

Daisy82, 13 September, 2010 at 21:58 Posted on Planning 0 13

I know that it is silly but I am beginning to worry about myself about nothing. There's 5 days to go and I'm stressing.

Firstly what do you do with your ER when your getting married? Do you put it on your other hand or leave it at home?

I've become strangely obsessed with the weather even though I can do nothing about it.

My dress, that I'm having made still isn't finished and I now really regret having it made and wished I'd gone and bought it out of a shop. I should've looked harder. ?

OH got the wrong waistcoat and not sure we will get the right one in time.

My family arrive on Friday and they are already doing my head in. So demanding!!

I'm very emotional too which doesn't help but I think that's just pregnancy hormones and not wedding. [:'(]

I just needed to get it all out in the open as OH doesn't seem to get it and just keeps bouncing round the place with excitement. I'm really not there yet.

Not expecting anyone to help but just wanted to vent.

    I'm sure some of the OMs will have good advice, but I would suggest delegating any jobs that you can and taking some time out to pamper yourself.

    Take care, and have a fantastic wedding day!

    Oh wow 5 days to go! no wonder youre stressed.............the pregnancy wont be helping you either....how many weeks are you if you dont mind me asking? (im a midwife lol)...............take time out, go and do something that calms you like a long bath, reading a book, etc.......as for your family/the wrong waistcoat etc.....try and zone out.....if you can relax im sure you will be able to cope better and actually enjoy it all......what matters is youre marrying the man you love........

    Take a deep breath and... BREATHE. Just keep picturing the end result and i'm sure you will be find. As for the ER, i heard you wear it on the other hand during the cermony.

    Feels better to get it out doesnt it?

    Deep breath and some time to yourself... Tell your family they need to back off a bit. Don't stress about the waistcoat. Your marriage is the focus here not what he wears although i can empathise because I myself want everything to turn out perfect, as planned, but I know it always happens that something will go wrong and I've psyched myself not to care that much if it does... Where are your BMs in all this? And everyone else who is supposed to help? Have they said your dress would be finished this week? xxx

    Thanks CG - I'm 12 weeks and beginning to feel better.

    Cosmo, it feels so much better to get it out!

    I've only got one more day at work and then I'll be able to get things sorted. Thanks for the ring advice x

    My BM is my sister who lives in Devon, I'm in Suffolk so not close enough to help really. Everyone is trying to help but I still feel there is 1001 things to do!

    I do know deep down that it's all about us getting married and spending the rest of our lives together but I've suddenly become obsessed with the tiny details!

    My dress should be finished on Wednesday!!

    Easily said but try not to worry

    Cant really offer any advice on the dress front, but fingers crossed it will be ok, my ER wouldnt fit on my right hand for some strange reason so i just had it in my little bag and put in on after the ceremony, we had waistcoat issues too, which all got sorted in the end we just got cameron ross to deliver the new one to our house they did on next day delivey, given your hormonal state you are bound to be up and down, as far as the faily thing goes, i think maybe we all get this to some extent, i know i did but honestly! i just let them get on with it and did everything as WE had planned not them!!

    and the weather? well i was absolutely gutted to have rain on our day but honey really come rain or shine your day will be fine - enjoy x x x

    Hey twinnie! ?

    I know exactly how you feel - we've had a bit of a 'mare of a weekend and we still have no table plan, guests are dropping out and I've been poorly too - I still don't feel like I'm getting married this Saturday! I haven't even got a honeymoon to look forward to ATM! And my flowergirl dresses are still awaiting collection on Thursday as the dressmaker had to have an op last week and wasn't able to complete them for last Saturday when they should've been collected! Stressed?! Oh yes!

    I'm sure both of our days will come together in the end, I know its easier said than done but try not to let the smaller things worry you to much (weather, waistcoats etc) - you need to take time out to relax and look after you and bump! You're going to be a gorgeous bride on Saturday, and best of all the weather is saying a big fat "SUNNY" for you on the BBC Weather site this morning! I've only got sunny intervals ?

    Big hugs! xxxx

    PS. Give those dressmakers a rocket up their arses! xxx

    ER goes on the same finger on the right hand, then after the weding ring goes on - you pop it back on the left finger :-)

    There is sod all you can do about the weather - diddly squat - sorry :-)

    Your dress will be gorgeous - made to measure - what could be better!???!? :-)

    The waistcoat will come on time :-)

    Family - nightmares, eh? If they get too much, just tell them you've had enough - have other things to think about and leave the room :-)

    Have a good cry - always helps!

    Wait till Friday - it's gonna be BRILLIANT! All this stress well worth it babe!

    Well I've finished work now ready for the wedding and I've booked some treatments at the local spa so I can relax. I know it will all fall into place.

    Thanks again for your support x

    It is completely normal to be stressed and it will be worth it but I imagine the pregnancy hormones are making everything seem worse.

    When I got married my ER would not fit on my other finger (or else I would have worn it), so my chief bridesmaid wore it for me until after the ceremony when I put it back on with my wedding ring. Alternatively had it not of fit her I would have placed it in a box and asked my mum to pop it in her bag.

    Your dress. Try not to worry there is still time and I am sure it will work out fine. We had a lady come into the bridal shop on Saturday and she was saying when she got married the shop messed up and she only got her dress 2 days before and as a result only had one fitting. So things can go wrong with buying it from a shop too! I really hope that they sort it out for you though which I am sure they will and that you love it!

    I would say try and chill but I can remember how hard it is.

    Good Luck for the wedding and I hope all of these little things sort themselves out!
