It feels like I have a billion things to do. I have a list and have been crossing things off as I go, but for some reason, I feel like I have left everything to the last minute. Me and my honey, aren't spending that quality time together because we're running here and there all the time.

Sit back, play a sweet song, close your eyes and just imagine how beautiful you are going to be walking down the isle, with the love of your life just staring at you while you walk towards the rest of your lives together. That will be bring the biggest smile to your face and remind you what that day is about. Just you, him and God.
Congrads by the way!

I just got married so I know exactly how you feel! The important thing to remember is that no matter what happens, this i your wedding day, and it's not there to bring you down, but rather to celebrate your love. If you don't feel you can give yourself the day off, give yourself a week of tasks you actually enjoy doing.
Just remember it will all get done, and what doesn't get done won't be missed. The day passes in the blink of an eye, and when you're there with your loved ones that's all that really matters. I'm not saying that to be a hallmark reciting cornball but because it's true.
Oh! And the week of the wedding- and this is very important- Eat balanced meals and get 6-8 hours of sleep at least. You may not feel you have the time, but it is a common occurrence for brides to get sick on their wedding night/honeymoon. It's not worth the stress you go through trying to get everything perfect, and you'll enjoy everything that much more if you're healthy!

Just remember, no matter how much it seems like it is for everyone else, this wedding is for you and your fiance! The last few weeks before any wedding is stressful and frantic, this is normal. A lot of people forget what it is all about and end up getting mad at each other with all the stress, so don't let it get to that. Take a night off, the world won't collapse, go out to dinner just the two of you, watch a DVD and take the phone off the hook, just relax... the most important part of your wedding is already there with you so remember that and things will be fine. Good luck and congratulations! :)

What you need to do is relax. The first you should do is establish on that timeline when you need each thing done by. Make specific dates to do each thing, and don't stress about whether every little detail gets worked out ahead of time. Obviously don't let everyhting sit for years and not try to work on it, but just sit back make a special calendar. Put all the items on your checklist in to a specific date and time, and then you will know that it is going to get done, because you have scheduled it. Have all your bridesmaids and your mother and any friends help with things that you can't handle just you, and try to get things done when you guys are together, then when you get with your honey, you will have your time to do the wedding together, or to just relax, what ever is on your claendar for that evening. I am telling you that the calendar thing works, because I am going nuts right now and my wedding isnt unitl may of 2008, so I know how you must feel!!

Ok, i've been married for almost 6years and have 4 children, tell me about not having time!!! Honestly you need to put that list away, even if just for an evening, grab your honey, and even if you just sit at home with blankets on the floor and watch a movie and relax, just take you mind off it all, you will feel renewed and rejuvenated, and ready to go again! I PROMISE it works, hey even if you just take a bath and give yourself a good facial...Planning a wedding sometimes you lose the meaning of why you are REALLY doing it, hey you're the women, it's all about the wedding right, just remember why you are really having that special day ;) Hope it helps.

Some of the best advice I was given. Your guests WILL have a good time. Do not feel responsible for entertaining every person in the room. Obviously dont be rude, but dont feel obligated to spend an hour with each person.
It does not help with the prep but it's something to think about when you're stressing at the wedding..Which will happen anyway by the way..lol
Congrats

Try to enlist the help of parents and if the Maid of honor and best men are able and willing to assist use them for some of the smaller tasks. Make a point to spend at least an hour a day with just each other and not talking about the wedding or things that have to be done for it.

I feel your pain! My wedding is October 6, 2007 too!! Everyone wants/needs something, and all I want is for it all to be over! To top it off, my fiance is stuck in Kuwait enroute to the states (from Iraq) and I haven't talked to him in three days. I'm such a nutcase right now! Go workout-that's the only thing thats calming me down right now. The other things I do to relieve stress don't seem to be helping. I'm also trying to remember that after that, we'll finally be together, and thats all that really matters. The wedding doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be "us".

Do this: take a day away. The wedding will still be there when you get back. Take your honey on a day trip somewhere. Go to a spa, state park, or amusement park. Just go and relax. Don't even mention the wedding plans. Just focus on being together.
HINT: delegate bridesmaids and family to help you. That way, you don't have to worry about so much right before the wedding!!!

Probably too late to suggest this. But keep your wedding as simple as possible. Remember what the day is supposed to be about. In the end all that you need is you your man and someone to do the ceremony. Everything else is expendable.
So if the flowers are the wrong shade of pink, or your grandma wont sit next to your uncle, who cares. Just roll with it and have fun.
