Just try not to worry too much about little details because you will set yourself up for major stress! Nothing is ever perfect anyway, no matter what they say

Memories are what we make them

It will be amazing!!!

Anyways, google it if you have not heard about it _ I am using it to detox after the bachelorette weekend   I hope you feel better soon

Man, where were you last month when I was pretty much sick for the whole month! Good tip, I'll need to keep it in mind.

Ah well, the wedding party consists of a MOH and BM. No other GMs. I would love it if another man that's going jumped in on this and helped him out, but I decided this afternoon that I just cannot deal with this particular issue. Not 5 days before we leave! It should have been taken care of by FI starting back in January, but well, they're men! I need to say 'screw it!' and move on.

Oh Amy, I've wished this so many times I cannot even tell you! But what I can tell you is that for me, I'm finally getting to the fun stuff. Yes, I have a lot to do, but it's packing stuff and house stuff and logistics-of-leaving-the-country stuff. Not wedding stuff! (except for the whole BM thing...) THIS is the time I've been waiting for! Everyone is excited for us and celebrating us and wishing us well on our trip. So stick it out because you're sooooooooo close!!!

I know this is me being a spoiled brat, but is it too much to ask to have them ask me "how's it going?"   It really has me upset.

That IS upsetting!! People should ask and at least check in with you. I had this same problem with my sister/MOH. She got really busy and stopped asking/being involved. My FI just brought it up with her in a very non-chalant way and ever since she's been AWESOME about asking and checking in with me.

 

I bet that once people have moved past your FI's sister's wedding next month, you'll be the star!!

Then they contact me or FI when they cannot get a hold of her today at 12pm.   Don't worry - it'll be your time soon - I actually talked more on this site daily about my wedding than I did weekly to actual live people!!!

No, no don't feel guilty!! Your guests are adults and are capable of making and being responsible for their own choices. No one HAS to go, so just remember that the people that are paying money and actually going are doing so happily and because they want to share their special day with you! Besides, you're giving everyone an excuse to go a fabulous, luxury resort in Mexico and they'll come away with lifetime memories. They should feel LUCKY!!!

 

LOL, I'm the same way too! I talk to waaaaay more people on here than in flesh and blood, especially when it comes to the wedding stuff. You guys get it while a lot of other people around me don't.

My FI's two brother's can't go because the one's wife won't travel with their 2-year old and the other's wife is expecting, so that was how I was able to convince my FI to do it. He thinks it's just another way for us to ask for presents, but I just want to be sure we get to celebrate with everyone.   And - we spent gagillions of dollars on all of these people for their weddings and babies, so why can't I want presents too?

I'm telling you, once the other wedding's over, it'll be your time to shine!!! Though it really shouldn't be that way. Do you have your dress yet? One way to really feel like a bride is to take those two awesome friends you mentioned and go dress shopping!

 

For me, feeling like a bride came in waves. Dress shopping did it for sure, but that was months ago and there was a long stretch in between where I wasn't getting much bridal attention. I haven't had a bridal shower yet (2 are planned for in Mexico) or bachelorette (that'll come after I'm married, actually, during the AHR), so there have been long stretches of times where I haven't felt like a bride. But now it's like WHAM!, everything's happening at once! My colleagues celebrated me today, my FI's colleagues are having a luncheon for us on Monday. Hang tough and it'll definitely happen for you!! Man, I wish I could throw you an engagement party!!

 

Oh, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting presents. You're right, you've spent a lot of money on your friends and now it's your turn. If people choose to give you presents, your FI should not see it as you having asked for them but rather it's your friends and family wanting to celebrate you two and the life you're about to start! Weddings are SPECIAL and UNIQUE and EMOTIONAL and LIFE-CHANGING and a JOURNEY and that's worth celebrating, I think!

So true!!! People don't want to hear that wedding planning is not fun. One thing I've learned is that the married ones usually get it because they've done it, but for the singles, forget about it! They think it's all bliss and glee and wheeeee! LOL

Yup, Sara, I think what you need is an engagement party!!

He'll be the odd man out if he wears it. And now I just checked the weather for next week and it's rain every day! with 60% chance on our wedding day. GRRRRRRRRR!!!! One reason we picked April was because it's one of the months with the lowest rainfall. I know I shouldn't worry about weather a week away since it's always changing but still GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I am just generally pissed off today!

Just thought I'd shed some light on your wedding plans, Up until day of our wedding, weather was calling for RAIN, i was soo upset. For me, I kept saying, Im not coming all the way to Mexico to be married indoors in a room with no windows lol. So I was horrified when I kept seeing rain.... In fact, it ruined the whole week of my wedding because I was so pissed about it everyday! AND guess what... wedding day, NO RAIN!!! Absolutely perfect weather! So, my positive thoughts are being sent your way and jus sayn this, If it does rain.... make the best of it girl, life is not about finding the shelter in the storm, its about learning to dance in the rain ... sending you bug hugggs!

[KittenHeart]

Lolo, Wendy & Amy - Good stuff ladies, all your positive thoughts are nice and relaxing, what would we do without you?!

[taylorwd]

Amy! Thank you so much for sharing your NO RAIN story with me!!! It actually makes me feel a whole lot better! I'm so happy to hear that the weather on your wedding day turned out just the way you wanted it. I'll for sure grab on to your positive thoughts and hold 'em tight!! Everything I've read says pay no attention to the weather forecast down there b/c it can change on a dime...It'll be pouring in one area and there'll be blue-bird skies just down the street. So here's hoping!!

 

And you know what, if it does rain, I probably will be dancing in the rain!!

[taylorwd]

Wooooohooooooo it's packing day!!!!

[dstinationdrmr]

Hey Ladies,

 

I have definitely got to get into the swing of reading your posts daily. I'm so behind! I spent a couple days catching up and I'm glad I did. I am so happy to hear that you all are going through similar things that I am!! The beginning of break from BDW was due to Easter, although I did go try on some wedding dresses during my time off. Then, my break from the site got extended because FI and I had a HUGE fight!! To the point we had to sit back and do some soul searching to make sure this was definitely the right thing to do. So, now we're all happy again but I guess since I hadn't been focusing on getting stuff done for awhile, all my helpers fell off!!!

 

My sister (MOH) sometimes acts like I'm bothering her. My bff (MTOH) is going thru the process of adopting another child (which incidentally may remove her from her MTOH title). My mom...who knows what her issue is? I know that I have been obsessing lately and I mean to the point of tears. I don't want to seem like a brat but I feel like I'm sooo behind in all of this planning stuff and I just don't want to be pulling my hair out the month of. We're getting married in November. I'm in a wedding in October and a co-worker is getting married in December....but I'm the only one still planning stuff!!! Ugh! I don't think it would be so bad if I wasn't in the beginning stages of it all.

 

On top of me having a huge fight with FI and losing all of my help, my grandmother has decided she's going get a passport!? Why does that bother me you ask? Because when it was told to her that we were doing a DW, her initial reaction was, "Well I won't be able to go because don't have the money for that." Ok, we went into this knowing full well that some people wouldn't be able to afford to come. Problem is....she didn't even know how much it cost @ that point!! So, me and my mom (being the suckers we are) said that we'd help her out. Never once did she say she was going to take us up on our offer. I just get word that she's going get a passport. So....are you giving me a hint?! Too bad I think the only reason why she wants to come is because she doesn't want to be the only family member left @ home.

 

Ok, I'm sorry for my rant, but I had to get it off my chest. Sadly, you ladies don't really know me from a can of paint, but the people who do have made me feel like a little brat lately. So, it's nothing but smiles for them lately. They ask how wedding planning is going and I just say, "It's going." So dirtymartini I kinda feel your pain. The only difference is, in the beginning of my engagement everybody was all excited and tripping over themselves to help. I don't know which is worse, starting out thinking you'll have tons of support or starting out with none and prepping yourself for the worst?

 

Anyway, I'm gonna keep it moving and try to get organized. Next task....photographer.
