Who's getting married during the next few weeks?

[tinkerrn]

Thought we might need a little support!!! I am already getting 'butterflies'.
My face is breaking out, feeling bloated, my nails are breaking, allergies are acting up and I am PMSing. Oh, yeah...tomorrow I will be 34!!!!YIKES!!!
Lets pray for NO HURRICANES!!!! The best part is that I tried on my shorts from last summer....they don't fit. They are to freakin small....yep...just the feeling you want before your wedding right???? No, this isn't a pity party...just an example of Murphys Law.

Any other brides to be going through anything similar? The good news is that I am marrying my Prince Charming!

 

[hiwaygal]

Oh yeah...I'm right there with you!

I'm not really nervous, but I'm stressed (not sure I have time to get everything done) and I'm excited about the trip to Disney...

I managed to survive purple hair (a hair coloring emergency last week) and I'm going to try to avert any other such catastrophes...

I think this week is going to be really weird

 

[kellykins]

Count me in too. 28 days to go and I am a mess of stress. We leave 3 weeks from Thursday and I don't possibilty see how I can get everything wedding and work done.

I am in serious need of a vacation.

 

[Honeibee]

Girls...........RELAX.

This is supposed to be fun, remember?

Just relax, everything will work out.

Here's my best advice....Remember every little detail, take some time out to stop and enjoy. It's over in a flash, then you get to be like me...missing it all very much and wishing you could just do it again because it went by in such a hurry.

Relax, ladies. Everything will go smoothly. It WILL be fine.

ME! I'm getting married in 19 days!! And I finally think the stress has stopped. (Almost) I just found out that my future Mother In Law made the rehearsal dinner at her house!! I want it at a restaurant, like everyone else!!! My parents paid for my whole wedding and she couldn't even book a cheap place for 20 people Uh oh... stress is coming back! No! Ok I gotta stop this. I am such a crazy bride right now. Just picked up my dress, met with the DJ, did my trial make-up, met with the organist, finished the favors, and the church programs, etc.... whew!
We are going to my favorite place, Disney World in 21 days! We're driving October 2nd and arriving Oct. 3 at the WL for 11 long nights!!! CAN'T WAIT! I had this trip booked in January!! Hopefully I will come back home pregnant and name our kid Mickey! Ha j/k about the Mickey part...

Wow...this is going to be a much needed thread !!

I just got back from shopping....how depressing. Been in denial that I have gained 30 lbs. and gone up from a size 4/6 to a 12. I hit 30, started working night shift and my rear end has been growing every which way but in. Well, thank goodness my Prince Charmin loves my chubby booty. After the wedding, I am seriously going to join WW and get this chubby booty moving. UGH!!!! I think that will be my goal for a vow renewal at WDW....to wear that size 4 wedding gown I am NOT going to be able to wear now .

I have to start tanning tonight....fake and bake all the way. I am way to ADD to sit out in the sun and relax. Also, as present to myself I am getting my hair highlighted. Oh, yeah for those who have not hit the big 30 yet...wait till you get gray/white hair. However, at the rate my gray/white is comming in...in a few years I will be able to get that platinum pageboy I always wanted . Move over Marilyn Monroe. Plus, I can do it myself from a box.

Got my favor tags in the mail today, not exactly what I thought they would be, but I am now stuck w/500 of them. Life will go on. Instead of using white ribbon/tulle, I will now use ivory.

Well, Ladies.....in a few weeks we will all be Married and our lives will return to a semi-normal state...yeah right!!!

Good Luck...and if anyone else needs to vent, get advise, cry, need some money wired to Las Vegas (Runnaway Bride) for a plane ticket ...let us know!!!!!

 

[Snow_White]

Holy crap, reading this thread made me decide to count the days until my wedding and there are only 50 days left....wow. I still want to lose a few pounds, need to get tan, need to magically get my finger nails to NOT break, need to stop breaking out, need to get my dress altered (oh yeah, and PRAY it fits), need to BREATHE! lol! Having a Disney wedding is awesome and Disney does take care of a LOT of stuff for you, but it's still stressful!!!!!!!!!!

 

[EvilinaDM101]

FREAKING OUT is an understatement!!!!! We had our co-ed wedding Shower last night at Buca Di Beppo (local Italian place) and it went great with the exception of my sister in law acting like she came straight from trailer park trashville! She kept grabbing at my guests food, she was DEMANDING food and then saying she didn't like this and that. I was feeling SOOO bad for my MOH's that threw the whole party for us. I was SOOO embarrassed!!!! She also kept using the excuse that she's pregnant and that's all she would talk about at OUR wedding Shower. Besides that it went fine. Oh also I looked at all the pictures that were taken last night and I look like a BLOATED SEA COW. Yes, I said a BLOATED SEA COW oh with a bunch of chins to add. ALSO the woman doing my alterations on my wedding gown IS RUDE!! Actually, I think RUDE is an understatement. She doesn't make you feel comfortable and she talks on the phone while pinning the dress and what not. OH AND ALSO she poked herself and there is a small drop of blood on the bottom of my dress. I was PISSED!!!!!!!! Anywho the stain came out and there's alot more to complain about but I think this is enough for now.

Once again 36 days and counting!!

 

[cattjer]

Are you from IL you sound like it!

 

[jenm2878]

Does Nov. 15th count as soon? We're at something like 63 days? I just can't wait for vacation. Haven't started stressing yet. YET being the key word! Good luck to all those who are going before me - I'm sure everythink will work out just fine!

 

[cryssi]

11 days ?!?!?!?!?!

OMG!

I've lost about 10 lbs on the stress diet...my dress actually had to be taken in which kind of sucked b/c I didn't want to spend that much in alterations! LOL

I DID eat chocolate souffle cake today though... mmm

My dress will be done on Thursday...talk about cutting it close! I still have to do table names, placecards, and programs...

good luck to everyone!

 

[DznyLvr2005]

I literally eat fast food every day and I'm not gaining a pound! I call this the JamieStress Diet! I sware, I was chunky, all throughout HS and 3 years ago i was size 12, now I'm an 8, and I eat more than ever! I know as soon as I get married and the stress goes away I'll gain it back! Hope not!!

Oh a tip.. If any girls want their nails to look really nice...
I just got the French Permanent Tips. They are awesome! They are not acrylic, and they look so real and they are so strong!! Tons of Gel used. Will never come off! And they are in the French Manicure style, but it's all gel. Even the white part!

 

[tinkerrn]

All of you have made me feel so much better!!! In chaos there is numbers!

My FDH and I work in the psychiatric field, and I at times have to keep asking him if "I am ok, or do I need to be on medication?" I can't believe how it all just crept up on me!!!! Like I said before, forget about the dieting! I tried on my dress and it still fits!!! THANK GOD!!!!! Yes, its depressing to not fit into any of my cute 'skinny' clothes, save them for the next trip. As for pictures,
that is one thing that I wish I did not have to have. I saw a picture of myself the other day, and I seriously didn't know who it was. I hate getting my picture taken...HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I begged FDH not to have pictures taken. He know thinks I am a 'few fries short of a Happy Meal'.
I love the "Bloated Sea CoW"....cute!

Well, just to give you a heads up!!! If you are planning on going shopping closer to the BIG DAY for cool WDW wear, do it now. The stores are getting rid of end of season clothes, and there isn't much of a choice. I shopped for 4 hours for a pair of black sandals. I still don't like them, but only paid $10.00 for them.

I am truly sorry to hear about everyones bridal woes....it sucks. This isn't what I thought it would be like!!!UGH!!

Hey Jen - I was just thinking the same thing! Can I mention my stress when Nov 15 seems so far away! I just had my dress fitting cancelled as my dress isn't in the shop yet - they keep saying oo Nov 15 is ages away... but I need to pick my dress up before we fly out on the 3rd!! I can't find a shop that sells crushed velvet so I can make a wrap to keep me warm in the evening - and my hen party is on Saturday and I have no idea what my friends are gonna try and pull off but frankly I'm scared!

Getting married on November 1st (leaving October 28th) and I have to say I am not stressed yet but my fiance is driving me crazy. He is so nervous about where he stands and when he turns and when to hold my hand, etc. We are having an intimate so no rehersal and it is driving him nuts. I told him to watch some of STVS videos and it helped a little. I think life right now is keeping me so busy that I can't stress. My youngest son cracked his front tooth Sunday, off to the dentist we go. I have two open houses this week and next, my oldest has his new glasses to pick up and work is crazy. I am in the military and we just got some Hurrican Katrina evacuees last week and so we are very busy. So I am sure once life calms down and my boys are settled with new glasses and fixed teeth I will start to stress.

One thing someone mentioned breaking out in pimples, I am over 30 and I love the ProActive line for my pimples, it works very well and they have many different products. As far as nails, I got a manicure last month, but who has time for that, so I have been maintaining it myself. Make sure to keep polish on them, I love the Revlon Colorstay, it last a long time and makes my nails feel so strong, and my nails are not the greatest.

Everyone try to relax and find some time for yourself to chill out, how about a bubble bath (with a relaxing scent) with candles and soft music, take it at night and then go right to sleep, you'll feel great the next day.

43 days away for me!! The only thing I'm stressing about is my weight. I've gained about 8 pounds since June. My dress still fits as long as I don't move my arms. That will look sweet, huh?? We're having a very small ceremony, so there's not too much planning and FDH did most of that. I've bought everything I need to, except last minute perishables, and have most of it packed. I'm concerned about getting the marriage license though because by the time we drive down to FL on Friday, we'll only have a couple of hours to get it. We need it for Monday morning. If anything goes wrong (car break down, etc), we won't have a license for Monday morning. Ok, I guess the more I think about things, the more there is to stress about.
Thanks ladies. j/k

 

[hiwaygal]

Okay...I am down to SEVEN DAYS!!!

Friends are taking us out to dinner tonight, we bowl on a league on Wednesdays (and Saturdays), my parents arrive Thursday night, and Friday we have to pick up my brother and SIL from the airport and then at 5 pm we go to the courthouse for our legal marriage...Saturday I need to be at a fundraiser but I just don't know how I'm going to get there AND "entertain" my parents and DB and SIL...Sunday everyone leaves (at different times throughout the day) and on Monday we have to drop our dogs (all THREE of them) at the vet/kennel then off to the airport!!

I'm terrified my dress isn't going to fit so I'm avoiding trying it on (I picked it up almost a month ago). We haven't packed a thing yet, and we also have to pack for the dogs' stay at the kennel (meds, food, etc.)

I have a final inspection on a project at work, and two other things going (not really much, but it's hard to concentrate)...and NO ONE WILL CALL ME BACK!!!

Yeah, I'm stressed...and I know I should slow down and take time to enjoy the hustle and bustle, but I can't...

Those of you who still have a little time...you have every right to feel stressed, but take time NOW to relax 'cause when you are a week away, all HECK breaks loose!!

Try having Vertigo while all this stuff is going on!! I was diagnosed with "versibular migranes" which in other words means every month or so, my inner ear desides to play tricks on me and makes the world spin for about 2 minutes, then I'm sick for the rest of the day!! Naucious, throwing up, dizzy! I'm praying this doesnt happen on my wedding day, because if it does, that's it. It makes me totally disabled for the rest of the day. I'm more worried about this than anything else. there's no cure for this. I"m on Antivert. Which is for motion sickness but also helps with vertigo. I HOPE!! Pray this doesn't happen to me on MY DAY! Thanks!!

 

[hiwaygal]

DznyLvr2005...take care of yourself, girl!
