Well after waking up feeling v stressed and panicy im now feeling a little better. All my bridesmaids came round last night for their makeup trials and looked great plus they all tried their dresses on and they all fit!! (one of my girls gave birth a while back and put on five stone during pregnancy) but shes in!! They do need taking in round the bust and length altering.

Im getting married 5 weeks today and fairly organised but for some reason woke up today feeling stressed out and worried cos we've not done some things and also worried about money.

Anyone else have days like that?

Hey almost wedding twin!

Glad you are feeling a bit better now. I guess we all have days like that - I had a little bit of stress yesterday, with h2b's family being awkward (for a change) but I think I coped quite well.

It's not long for us now - can't believe how quickly everything has come around. Try not to worry/stress (I know that's easy to say) but you're only going to do this once, and I'm sure everything will be perfect regardless of money/stresses!

i havent had any days like that yet...but im sure they will come Smiles

focus on the good things...all your bridesmaid dresses fit ....woohoo Smiles

try and look at all the stuff you have got planned and sorted out all ready rather than looking at the things you have left to do

and if you are struggling to get things done call on your bridesmaids, mine have all been warned for when I need them Smiles

Thanks girls! Ive been totally fine up until today! Think im listening to much to my mother!! LOL

My 2 cheif bridesmaids have been fantastic and offered to help and done all my hen do (which is next weekend!) so Im really lucky!

I suppose my main thing is money cos all these little extras like the dress alterations are a cost i under budgeted for and now im like ohhhh my god where do you get that extra money from so close to the wedding! Im sure it will be fine but just feels like not at this point in time!! Rolls eyes

i know what you mean about other people causing the stress....everyone I know seems to think I am much to laid back about it lol they all seem to think i havent got enough time to do everything and I should be ultra stressed out...but Im not lol


yeah i can imagine the little extras do start to add up, hopefully you will be able to find the money you need Smiles

I feel just the same, every day in fact! lol!

we still have things to do but am confident we will get them done v soon. & have no money either Sad going on the credit which is naughty but we have no choice!

dont worry, you will too, do you have a plan to follow or a list or something? makes things easier then you can priortise & then you can tick them off when youve done.

good news about your bms though! im not getting too see one of them in thier dress till the day!

is your hen do this weekend or next? mine is next although my hens have planned it, doesnt seem like that much planning has gone on and i was expecting them to be here in norwich all weekend but no ones able to turn up till about 3pm on the sat Too rude..

my bms and everyone lives 2 hours away so i cant call on them for any thing unfortunalty so its all down to me and h2b Sad

i guess we all just need to chill out and relax dont we! shame we cant all get together and just do that! get away from our family and friends that are causing so much stress & moan about it to each other!

Oh, Sophie I so agree!

I often find myself wishing I could get all you girls together for a funny movie and a few drinks or something to blow off steam.

I am having one of those stress days today...SO much to do this weekend, and some of it is proving very difficult, but I have faith we will get there in the end.

Plan is to do nothing this afternoon, just relax (after all, it's been a pretty tough week at work) then get right into it all first thing tomorrow! Hope that'll work!

Good luck to everyone else who's getting crazy-busy with wedding stuff this weekend! Thumbs up

Wow! Its so weired because I have been planning since January and really have done so much and have felt stressed at all until today when I suddenly realised it is only two months and that it will go so quick

Its more the feeling of what have I missed that is stressing me out.

I still have £1000 to raise for my photography which is stressing me out more then anything and only 2 months to raise it, Im thinking I may have to get a credit card which sucks Sad as any money I get as gifts will have to be used to pay it off. But at least i will have beautiful photos.

I'm also stressing about loosing a stone in two months. Its taken me 4 months to loose 11 pounds and I'm thinking Im gonna have to go to the gym everyday for the next 69 days and eat celery.

Try to relax im sure it will all come together. I spend most of the last few weeks stressing especially about money as our wedding cost double our budget but we managed to borrow some money off our parents which we paid back after the wedding.

You only have one special day so enjoy it and try not to worry

I'm gonna get a credit card, I only have £1000 left to raise which is nothing to what I have spent already and I would die if I didnt have the photos to remeber everything I have spent moeny on.

I'm sure I'll be able to pay it within a few months.. after the wedding, its just I hate being in debt, esp being a student.

Would anyone advise me not to get a credit card, I've never had one before
