Single digits

Kelly, on October 3, 2019 at 5:44 AM Posted in Planning 0 10
Finally made it to single digits!
The last few days have been crazy stressful (a bridesmaid suddenly caused a lot of stress & dropped out 10 days before the wedding, I have a huge bump on my head - I dropped a pen @ work & hit my head on my desk, my wedding program sign that I made is now useless, I missed most of my contracts at 10 days out, so I still have to pay for this woman’s bouquet & food, 2x additional ppl that rsvp yes can’t make it - very good reason shattered elbow - but it’s not even the day of & I already have no shows, my DJ portal locked out me out of the portal to change the line up) but I’m making the best out of everything (icing the bump, FH paid to have another wedding program done again & expedited so we will still have it, I called the florist & we are going to make the existing bouquet bigger so they will be spectacular, I reached out to the DOC & we are adding cocktail shrimp to the hors d’oeuvre - they are $350 for 100 pcs so we are just going to add $5 in addition to the no shows, I reached out to the DJ & it unlock the portal). On top of that I FINALLY found a dog walker company that will pick up the dog after the ceremony & drive him to the hotel. So now all our guests get to enjoy the entire day. I had to call my FMIL & tell her that the rehearsal dinner numbers changed - she told me to get a pedicure on her - which was so sweet,

On top of all this, or probably because of all this I have the worst migraine.

I kept hearing that things always go wrong w/ wedding planning & I just hope that this is it. The bridesmaid in question is very selfish in general - she used to date a groomsman & they broke up. After they broke up she begged me to stay in the wedding saying that they will act like adults & understand how much planning goes into the wedding. Well they got in a fight (I didn’t even know that they were together again) & she would only be in the wedding if the groomsman wasn’t - so yes, the groomsman is still in the wedding & no, she is not.

But we are officially in the single digits & I’m going to do my best to enjoy it.

Good luck to all the October brides!

    It sounds like you’ve had a tough week so far but I hope things get easier and you’re able to enjoy it all.

    Yikes! Sorry that's all on your plate at once. At least it's all popping off the week before and not the day of!

    Thanks ladies.
    Honestly, the worse piece of advice that I listened to was not telling her that I didn't want her in the wedding party beforehand. All the signs were there that it was going downhill & that it would be drama - but I didn't do anything about it. Now, I'm left calling people, changing things, paying for things that I didn't need & paying to replace things that I did & feeling absolutely terrible. The entire situation has completely stressed me out, and washed any fun & joy that I was experiencing before.

    The planning was done, I was enjoying myself. Now, I have to re-plan so much & I am not enjoying anything. I just want to get this wedding over with. 3 days of emails & nasty text messages will take a toll on you.

    But yay - only 9 days to go... right

    And guess what - we aren't friends now. So the thing that I was trying to prevent from happened, actually happened. My biggest piece of advise, it's your wedding, if someone is causing you stress - you are NOT obligated to keep her in the wedding.

    Almost date twins! You're the day before me! It will all workout and be worth it. You are doing a great job making the most of it. I know the feels they say the week leading up to your wedding is the most stressful and everything that can go wrong will go wrong (Murphys law). My car battery died, cracked radiator, bad tires, then today someone tried hacking my cards (for 7k) didn't go through but made me cancel my card to get anew one issued AND THEN had to pay to expedite it because I leave on Wednesday and it wouldn't be here in time -_- you got this girl.

    Thank you for the kind words - and I am so sorry to hear about your credit card. Thankfully the charge didn't go through, but jeez what a hassle.

    I know that I will get through it. It just so much additional work that I really shouldn't be having to do 9 days out. I remember when we hit 99 days out and I was like wow in 90 days I'll be in the single digits and that is the last digits sequence to hit & really thought that I was going to be so excited. But now, I'm just so depressed.

    And I don't want to say too much to FH, he paid a lot of money to get things the way that they were... I don't want to be like, well thank you for agreeing to spend all this money, but I'm still miserable. When I get home from work, maybe I'll just go to sleep & hopefully feel better tomorrow.

    Murphys law is real. I know its stressful. Luckily you have a supportive FH BUT I would talk to your FH about your feelings because these feelings don't always just go away. My sister passed away earlier this year and for 5 months I was VERY depressed. my FH really hasn't done much for the wedding besides help pay but all the planning was on me. So that and everything else in my life was stressful. now this close to the wedding he is seeing how stressed I am and has really taken the lead on the things causing me stress and we have been able to openly talk about them and hes even gone out of his way to make me tea, foot rubs and so on just to help me relax for a minute. I really encourage you to talk through these feelings with your FH so you don't resent your wedding down the road Smiley heart hugs and good vibes sent your way girl YOU GOT THIS!
