I feel very lucky!
I am getting married in a little over 2 weeks
and my stress hit big time last week! So many final things to get done...So last night I came home from work to a huge bouqet of tulips in a beautiful vase! The card read " Babe- whenever you start to feel stressed, you will always have my "two lips" here to make you feel better- Brian"
Let's just say I cried and laughed at the same time! My emotions are all over the place, but Im so thankful for him and thought it was so sweet/clever/cute and just what I needed!
Re: I feel very lucky!
What a sweet husband-to-be!
The last few weeks are definitely an emotional rollercoaster of stress! But it's all so worth it when you get to that day!
That is so sweet! Gosh, he's a keeper!!!! Try not to stress yourself out too much. I went into my wedding day knowing that things will be off or not go according to plan and I really enjoyed it so much more. Just do what you can and enjoy the day. I know how easy it is to get carried away and stress the heck out of yourself but it's not worth it. You want to remember the whole process as a positive one. Good luck and enjoy every minute of it!!!!! Congrats
Ditto this, completely. I got a little stressed toward the end, too (long story short, my venue suddenly was "under construction" and there were a ton of last minute changes, and I was afraid of how everything would look). But on that day, I told myself that I was going to smile, relax and enjoy every minute of it. It if stormed, if people got lost, if the cake fell over, oh well. I wanted to look back on that day with zero regrets, knowing that I'd had an amazingly happy -- if not completely "perfect" -- day.
It sounds like your fiance is a total sweetheart! The flowers and note were so thoughtful.
You'll have to report back on how the wedding day goes -- I'm sure it will be wonderful!
Oh, also... I worried that I would also miss all the wedding planning, too. I mean, it takes up a LOT of your time for months on end! But honestly, once the wedding was over, we settled into our normal life, and I never missed it at all. I do, however, love talking about weddings to friends who are engaged.
So Sweet! My friend's wedding is about 3 weeks out to and she is hitting her max stress levels
poor thing.
Just keep your head up, take deep breaths and know that something WILL go wrong!
DH and I weren't legally married for the first 3 hours after our wedding! LOL I totally forgot to put down the Marriage License on my check list! Oooops! Luckily our pastor was kind enough to stick around until someone went and found it! Otherwise our wedding date would not have been our actual legal wedding day. Oi!
LOL about 3 weeks before the wedding at my bridal shower, I told my MOH that I could actually rationalize why the brides on Bridezillas were SO upset- at that point she told me I was done wedding planning and she kinda took over from there.
Whats nice is after this stage of "get it over with" is over, you go into the, "whatever-get it done" and suddenly money and spending extra to get it done just doesn't matter the way it has for the last year or so
What a sweetie! You will be fine my dear! Like everyone said, things go wrong, and I promise no one will notice! Minutes before our ceremony was scheduled to start, DH got a bloody nose and his ivory vest was totally soaked (he had to leave his jacket on the remainder of the night even though it was over 100 degrees out)!
When I was in your shoes, I couldn't sleep right anymore - I couldn't sleep past 4 am and I had nightmares every night about things going terribly wrong.
I still miss the wedding planning, thankfully we now have a house to renovate to keep my mind occupied. And when thats said and done...BABIES!
PS- Your bachelorette party will really reduce your stress and get you even more excited for the big day. So get excited!
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
