It's almost here! Wedding Update 2nd Sept

[Queenie]

Oh grief girls, my wedding is actually this month!

There seems to be a million things left to do, and everyone seems to be in the fluster to end all flusters. My soon to be MIL is running around like a headless chicken whenever I see her (I'm not really sure why as she has nothing to do before the day and whenever she has had something she could do, she's asked me to handle it because I have nothing better to do with my time.)

I still haven't seen my dress in a finished state (I know, I'm doing a good impression of a calm person - don't break the spell!) I'm having a fitting on Saturday where it should be done. If it's not, well, do you think I can claim temporary insanity in court during the murder trial???

I'm not sure if it's been reported over there but an airline called Zoom have gone bust, stranding my MOH in Canada just days before we're meant to be going to Disneyland Paris for my hen do and right before my final fitting. I did not need this.

The dress shop doing my bridesmaids dresses have made a major ****-up on one girl's dress and are blaming her - of course we're all aware of people that gain 100lbs and 3 inches in height over a course of 6 weeks whilst simultaniously going to the gym every day. Yeah... Of course I'm now worried about the other dresses which I wasn't before. They told her on two seperate occasions that she's too fat/needs to loose weight. I'm sorry, what? You measured her and did the fittings, I know for a fact she hasn't gained since last time (minus the natural daily fluctuations we all experience), in fact she's probably lost some from hitting the gym every day. They also told this to my sister's face - this being my sister who gave birth in May and has somehow managed to squeeze into the size 8 dress they assigned her because they didn't think she'd gain anything much over a pregnancy?!?! I am blessed with bridesmaids who remain calm and can laugh off these idiots and a sister with more willpower in her little finger than I have in my entire body.

I still haven't been told who will be doing my hair on the day. Last time I went for a trial (after the original girl who did my 1st trial left the salon) I got a call the night before saying "oh sorry, whoever booked that did it wrong, the girl who'll be doing it on the day isn't even in the UK tomorrow". Still not heard anything from them.

Trying to stay calm...

I hope everything comes together for you. I'm sure it's going to be a wonderful wedding. to help you through the month.

You know what? It will all come together and you'll be married. It may not be exactly as you pictured it, but it will happen. Try to enjoy the things that go right, and don't worry about the little things that don't. There was a lot of drama surrounding my wedding that made it hard to enjoy, and I regret letting those things get to me. Almost 21 years later we're still as married as we would have been if every single thing had gone as planned.....so relax, enjoy, and have fun.

I know it's stressful to go through all of the planning, especially with all of the issues you've been having! Just think of how wonderful your wedding day will be - things always come together!!

 

[New England Eeyore]

I know the last few weeks before the wedding are always a stressful time, and you have some added stresses on top of that. Try not to worry - it will all work out in the end. Good luck making it through with your sanity intact!

My pastor told me something on the eve of my wedding, that I have applied in many instances in my life- "There are no mistakes, only memories!" I hope everything works out (as I am sure it will) and that the two of you have a fantastic day!!!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Good lord woman, you need a vacation!

I won't even go down the road of the dresses, all I can say is word of mouth can put any place under. I would actively not recommend this place. Geesh!

I wish I could be there to see you on such a wonderful day! We want loads of pictures!!!!! I can't believe you have 18 days left! I'm so happy for you and your soon to be DH!

Lots of love from all of here in Blink, CT!!!
