With 33 days left until our wedding, I’m in complete stress mode. Who knew that even though we’ve had a super long engagement, that we’d be scrambling around to do stuff right up until the end?!
Wedding programs? Not even begun.
Furniture for apartment? Half of it is bought.
Dress and veil cleaned/pressed? Not even taken yet.
Bridesmaid jewelry? Buying in 2 weekends (Dallas!)
House party/Usher gifts? Need to buy
Anyway, the list goes on. I got some great stuff done this weekend though, so I was happy. We bought our first furniture this weekend because Ashley’s was having a sale where everything was 25% off, so we definitely took advantage. We’re happy to say that our living room furniture (except for the tv/tv stand) is complete! All we need to buy now is our dining table, bedroom end tables, and a dresser for our bedroom and we’ll be set!
Needless to say, I’m a happy gal, but I am starting to have the wedding nightmares again. I had a dream last night that I had nothing for the wedding that I needed. It started with the door hangers (the ones I got from Laura) not being on the doors, then I didn’t have my veil and shoes, and then my hair and makeup people didn’t show up (Rob Kardashian ended up doing my makeup haha). At the end of the wedding reception, there was a part where I was all alone in the reception site and I sighed because the reception decor was absolutely how I envisioned it…and I was married.
I think the dream really brought out that I’m worried it won’t come together, just like any bride would think right now. Also, I’m worried on the timing of when everything is. All in all, I think I’ll get over it. I’m definitely excited to have less worries in 33 days!
This month is going to go fast…and I hope I can hold on long enough for the ride!!!
It’s impossible not to stress but everything will work out fine! Promise! Hope you have a great Halloween! I can’t believe it’s only 33 days away! Yay!
Wow… only 33 days out! You can do it, just breath. I know everyone says to enjoy this time but it is pretty true. All the excitement, nerves, etc… who knows if you’ll ever feel this way again! Then again, who would?
But, it will come together beautifully and if there is a small thing out of place, who’ll notice? Not you because you’ll be so happy to finally be married! And YAY for furniture! We didn’t get any of our furniture (besides my old bedroom stuff) til post-honeymoon!
It’s almost the 30-day point we have talked about before ;o)
You’ll be in a glass case of emotion, somehow holding it all together in a tip-of-the-iceberg kind of way while the big mack daddy chunk of emotion and stress is piled underneath. It’ll be ok; you’ll never be “here” again so just enjoy it like I know you are.
And girl, these last 30 days: REVEL. EFFING REVEL.
Awww, I was right there too. Last year about this time I was having those same type of dreams. Don’t worry though, everything will turn out perfectly. Just remember to breath, and take each day one day at a time. 🙂
Enjoy the last few days you have left. The big day will be here before you know it.
xoxo
Don’t worry — it will definitely all come together! I had wedding nightmares, too, and in fact, I still do, I think because I still work in the industry.
You’re almost there! I’m sure your wedding day will turn out absolutely beautiful!
I think we all go through similar stresses, but just focus on the fun – b/c if you enjoy things, no matter what happens, your wedding will be fun and enjoyable 🙂
Oh nooooo!! That stress is crazy!! I’ll be praying for you!! Ask for help!! You can do it!! Try to remember to enjoy this time!!
It will all work out Steph, right down to your very last detail. You are so organized and like Lauren said, its impossible to not stress about something you have worked so hard on for the past year or more, but it will be beautiful and so will you!!
lauren- you’re definitely right. it’ll all work out in the end!
jessica- you’re so right. thanks for the encouragement, girlie!
hilljo- yep we’re almost at that 30 day mark. ahh what would i do without your tips and warnings?
alisha- yeah, it’s pretty nervewracking. i will definitely be happy once we’re married and everything has calmed down 🙂
heather- i think we all go through them, but they’re definitely not fun. maybe i just need a good massage and i’ll relax lol.
nikki- i hope so! i’m ready to get this show on the road! 🙂
amyjean- thanks for the advice hun! you are definitely right.
megan- thanks girl! your prayers are appreciated!
tiffany- so true. i think i just see all the lists of to-do’s i have and then i start to freak (especially now that we’re only 31 days away-eek!). i’m sure it’ll be perfect, but you know me, i can’t help but be nervous! thanks for the pep talk 🙂
I had so many nightmares too..this is so normal! don’t worry everything will work out perfectly! It’s so stressful to be shopping for and setting up for a new Place PLUS your wedding! we were in the same boat.
You can definitely get that list of things done in a day (maybe other than the furniture part)… I promise it will all get done!! 😀
Also, don’t worry about the furniture. We’ve lived in our house for almost 3 months now and we still have empty rooms… it will just give you more places to put the wedding gifts until you get them all put away!! 🙂
