Stress, anyone?

Oh I dont even know where to begin, stressing about money to save stressing about getting my dress back and fitting into it.
Stressing about my brother as he is sulking about coming to Vegas, dont even ask!
Stressing stressing stressing, I feel so bogged down with it all.
I feel better now, so anyone else?

  • I'm quite chilled at the minute, everything appears to be going smoothly, although that smoothly that it makes me nervous that a hicup must be just around the corner....
  • this is how I was for months and now everythign is starting to crop up I also think its because I now realise what we need and the time span,sigh!

    I'm not stressed at all.

    What's the point - you're either organised or you're not.

    if you are stressed, write down the important things that are bothering you then make yourself a plan of action, what needs to be done by when, etc. If there is something urgent...make time and get it done, it will be a massive weight off your mind.

    As for other people throwing hissy fits - Let them!! When my toddlers throw tantrums I just leave them till they calm down - same works for stroppy relatives, hehe. ;)

    Well, I've only just started planning my wedding, I don't even meet the vicar until next week! Mine is over bridesmaids, I wanted my 3 sisters and my eldest niece, but my sisters are arguing that all the nieces should be, but then i would have to include H2b's nieces so then i'd have about 12!? I am only have 4 thats it, even that is too many for me.

    I think i'll be fine, once they understand i am not having everyone.

    I hope you manage to sort things out with your brother.
  • I know the feeling about being stressed!! I'm trying to find a venue in Ayia napa to hav our reception after the ceremony which is proving a bit difficult, i've emailed loads of places and no one seems to get back in touch, the way its going it looks like i'll be having to find somewhere the first week we are there, but really need to book somewhere as there is a few of us going out to Cyprus. Half the people that have been invited can't give us a definate yes or no to whether they are coming or not...so don't know how many to actually book for :confused:. I'm having my sister and my cousin as bridesmaids and said they could choose their own dresses as its just a casual wedding so as long as they were in the same colour they could wear pretty much what they want, however i get the feeling my sister is sulking a bit as the dress she wanted was like something you'd go clubbing in :eek: so i said no and now it seems like she's lost all interest in even looking for one, think she needs a kick up the backside :rotfl: Just wish i could get it all sorted out, then i could relax a bit! Sorry to rant, just needed to get things off my chest!!
