yes, yes, yes. I couldn't even blog for a week because I just don't want to think about it. I'm behind - the knot says I am.

But then I just read the 100 layer cake post about the couple that planned a wedding in 7 days and then I think, whatever happens happens. if I forget something, whatever. what exactly do I need? my man. that is all.

ps. gave you an award on my blog, which is nothing compared to what you've given me.

Are we the same day as well? I am also July 18, like the above commenter. Every time I plan a dinner party I hem and haw over the food and agonize over whether it will be good, whether it will be a success, whether my friends will have fun, etc, and there is always that moment where I’m sure it will be a disaster. Right now I am kind of there in terms of my wedding, except it is like agonizing over it for months instead of just one afternoon. Right now I am like, what if the set-up looks tacky, what if the food isn’t good, what if our families don’t get along, ack! It’s seriously enough to make a person nuts!

I just need to get my head out of the details and remember that everything will be just fine since most of the people we love will be there, so it will be a success regardless!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I’m six weeks away (I think we have the same date — July 18, right) and sometimes think I’m going to lose my mind. Not that I can admit that to anyone, though…

I'm pretty much alternating between freaked out stress (only 2 more months, WHAT?? and now that I have an actual job how am I possibly going to finish my crazy wedding to do list??) and crazy happiness (almost august, almost our wedding, almost time to party with our friends, almost married!!).

It's a fine line to balance. I'm also starting to comb through my to-do list and figure out how much I'm able to delegate. I'll admit it now, I NEED help.

The part that stresses me out most is having to not get stressed out. My guy is putting so much pressure on me to be super-calm and laid back. I wish he’d just accept that at some point in the process I will have my freak-out moment, then get over it and go on with things. It’s not the end of the world to get stressed out, as long as you keep it in perspective.

I unfortunately have a lot of things to do before August 1 (including some big things) and have a thesis to finish in the next 2 weeks. So far I have been working under the assumption that once the thesis is done I can focus and get wedding stuff done, but it doesn’t help to aleviate the stress of it right now.

Thanks for the post and reminding me that if it comes down to it, some of the DIY stuff can be on the chopping block and we can still have a lovely day.

Chill sounds like the right place to be for you, and you should enjoy it. I, however, am working at accepting myself as I am, not trying to give myself another ideal to live up to.
