Stress
Pulling my hair out!!

I just wanted to take some time to vent(rant) a little.

Whenever people around me were getting married, and freaking out about things, I used to make fun of them. I remember thinking, "you buy a white dress, you pick out colors...why all of the stress?!?!" I couldn't imagine allowing something so simple like a wedding make you crazy.
Well, I officially understand now.
Everytime I get ahead of things, I fall behind somehow. I don't know if I'm just planning the wrong things too early?
Is anyone else going crazy?
I'm trying to relax, and take everything one step at a time, but It's sooo overwhelming!!

My wedding is May next year, and I have the venue booked, and a cake tasting next week. I know my wedding colors already, and I've pretty much picked out all of my vendors, even though I haven't put deposits down on all of them yet.
We've thought about the honeymoon, but nothing is booked yet,

I have no idea what I want to do for a cake, yet, or flower vendors. I know what I want, but I haven't talked to anyone yet.

Am I behind or just psyching myself out!? Between having a 3 year old, and a crazy job, I'm getting migraines I'm so stressed out.

Anyone have any ideas on how to cope with all of the wedding stress?!

Thanks so much!!

TBH, I think you're just psyching yourself out, as you seem to have everything in order (even if you haven't put deposits down). That being said, I'd start booking soon, as vendors tend to book quicky during that time of the year.
Don't stress.. you've got a cake tasting, and we haven't even TALKED about the cake, yet--and, we only have 83 days to go! :P

Mrshtobe- Oh wow!! Maybe Im just driving myself crazy. I just look at checklists online and they all say that right now I should have so much done!! and i dont!! :( But even my FH said I need to relax and just take one thing at a time. thanks for the advice!!
Tiff- Thanks!! I'm sure Ill have most or all of the drama too!! I guess i should be thankful I haven't dealt with any drama yet! At least the only stress i have right now is getting everyone paid! I cant imagine having to worry about bridesmaid disagreements or vendor rudeness. whew. I'm just gonna go take a bubble bath!! LOL

Don't worry!!! It really will all come together. The venue is the biggest thing that you have to book very far ahead, and you already have that done! :) Because your wedding is in May, it's in a busy wedding season, so you may have to book things earlier, but it will all come together nicely!! Happy Planning!

The only person that can allow you to be stressed out is you. Don't do that to yourself. You don't deserve that. You did the biggest thing, which is the venue. Everything else will fall into place. If you need some help then you should ask a friend to help you or get some of your bridesmaids to jump in and take on some tasks to relieve some of that stress off of your shoulders. There's no need to pick at yourself this way. This is supposed to be a happy time for you.
