Well Ive hit an all time low. It was bound to happen I suppose havent had any meltdowns in such a long time! I think (post below) the drama yesterday with the delivery guys UPS wanting $2250 for my 9 boxes of wedding stuff to ship to Ireland was the final straw. I spent hours online last night researching freight and thanks to your helpful comments I also researched and got a few phonecalls back today regarding freight and they basically told me the same, $2000 and if they were me that they would go over and get the stuff myself too. That it would take 2 months to get here anyway. And basically it was a rip off.
So my sister who offered to come with (after we booked flights) thought we were going to collect the dresses, hello? How do 5 dresses take up 9 boxes and weigh so much that they cost $250 a box to ship, I am about to bang my head off a brick wall.....so then her attitude changed slightly about going, hey she can justify going to get a dress that I paid for for her but not for anything else for *my* wedding.
Then my FH decided he'd have a day from hell and snap over the littlest of things, today was the day he decided he would flip over the price of the wedding in total even though we sat and had this all out months ago. It was like today he only realised how much everything cost. He also thinks NY trip to get everything is a holiday for me? What I hate about this is because hes the main breadwinner here its like I have to ask him for the money or something which I cant stand!
My mom decided I should rent space in the US and then go over in Dec and send the stuff to Mexico (apparently in her world, bless her, this would be cheaper) My friend that had the stuff was questioning whether I should pay for a trip over would it justify the cost? ARGH
So spent the evening crying and seriously close to calling it all off, the stress and everyones negativity and stuff was just wearing me down. Told my mom I was selling everything just calling it off I have done it all since day one and no one has anything nice to say everyone has a comment for everything I do. This morning then to top the day off, I got results back that I had abnormal cells in my smear and need a repeat, went to the doc surgery and the doc there refused to talk to me about it wanting me to talk to my own doc about it as we have *history* what I dont like is the way that the secretary said it to me sympathetically....thats another story I guess.
What a fucking day.......and after I told my sister to cancel the trip, FH decided we "had" to go as this was the only way to get the stuff! So now we are going next week. I have to re pack everything send some lighter stuff by mail and pack the rest in 4 big luggage bags and carry on luggage and hope for the best..............so so drained!
And try not to think about the test results until they actually tell you what is going on. It could be any number of possibilities, so you shouldn't worry yourself even more right now.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, and send you my best wishes.
Weddings are stressful planning for and that's only because it matters so much to us. I cried just two days ago over shoes (YES SHOES). I thought a certain type of shoe would be nice, my fiance' said a different kind and I was in tears. I also cried over invitations not being the right color (thank god it was only a sample).
I definitely feel where you are coming from. All I would say is don't call it off. Stick with it. It'll all pay off in the end.
I hope you feel better. Good luck and check back in with me later.
It "guides" her to realize what a turd she is being sometimes. Maybe your mom needs that talk. We are over here stressing over our wedding costs too. We just realized we about 900 bucks short. And because we are paying for our wedding loan, we don't know where to get it from. Our only miracle may be that he is about to recieve a check for college (grant) and that my cover it.
Keep us posted on your pap smear. One time I had something unusual and they had me all freaked out to get me there and inform me I was getting a severe yeast infection. that was it. all those tears for nothing. lol
I too am dealing with "health issues." Since I've been in Bahrain my stomach has been acting up and I've been in the ER here several times. Talk about SCARY! I'm waiting on a colonoscopy (fun stuff) to see what the problem is. They think it's Crohn's Disease which I PRAY it's not. I've seen my mom suffer from it for so many years. The problem is, it's hereditary.
Anyway, enough about me. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I pray that all goes well with getting your stuff to Ireland, as well as your health. As far as luggage bags, you may want to try and get your hands on a couple military sea bags. You can fit LOTS of stuff in there. When I came to Bahrain that's all I brought. You may be able to get them on Ebay or a military surplus store. Best of luck!
