| I started out with 20 months planning time. I got the venue (w/catering provided) right away, checked out cake places, booked the dj, played with ideas. I was the research queen!
Then things got busy; everything else took over, including moving in with fiance in August. After that everyone started asking for details on the wedding - I was starting to feel a bit panicy, but couldn't find the motivation to do more on it.
After Christmas it hit me, and we did a couple wedding fairs. My Maid of Honour is wonderful, pushed me in just the right ways, I bought my dress and booked a tonne of stuff.
Now I'm getting hung up on the centrepieces and decor ideas. I'm starting to feel a bit smothered and mildly panicy when I think of the things that still need to be done. I'll be feeling great about everything until people start peppering me with questions that I don't have answers to, because it's stuff I need to do, and need to do soon. I might end up taking a mental break this weekend, and then starting up next week, but am not sure I can afford the time.
Do you have much to do? What about making a list of things to do, then expanding it with some details, and calling up your maid of honour/bridesmaids/mother, and asking for help? Just tell them how you're feeling, and I'm betting they'll get you motivated, and take on some of the responsibilities.
Also, go out with them for a night and don't think about wedding stuff at all - just arrange for something that will involve a lot of laughter - that should boost your rockets.
Only 4 weeks to go - that sounds both a panic, and a relief! Hang in there, rely on your friends, find the fun back, and I bet you'll be fine. :hugs: |
