I’ve Been A Bad Bad Bride
April 2nd, 2007 @ 1:58 pm by Mrs. Snow Pea
With 4.5 months to go, I just ordered the bridesmaids’ dresses. I told them I ordered it weeks ago. I lied. I don’t know what is wrong with me. I plan *too* early, all the anticipation gets me exhausted and then I don’t do things until the last minute. 
I hang my head in shame.
Other things I have been lagging on is the pre-cana. That was Mr. Snow Pea’s job actually and it’s been booked for June. I really wanted it to be earlier than that so I could have ample time to print the finalized wedding programs. We’re currently looking into more churches who can do it sooner.
It seems no matter how far ahead I plan, there is always something else to do. Is anyone else dragging their feet?

I see you are in NY — there are SEVERAL dioceses in the region (NY, NJ, CT, LI) that can do the precana if it’s the Engaged Encounter weekend, so check it out. You don’t have to use the same diocese that “belongs” to the parish where your wedding will be. Balance cost/timing/location, etc. and you’ll find something that works for you.
About the pre-cana cost: Keep a copy of your “donation” check for a tax write off!
Can you delegate any of the things you are procrastinating? Maybe those are things that bore you but someone else would enjoy doing.
Not sure how/why precana scheduling would impact your programs?
According to the checklist my coordinator gave me, I should have done about 5 things last month (including ordering bridesmaid dresses) that I still haven’t gotten to :(.
I do the exact same thing. I plan early and then drag my feet. I’ve been doing it incredibly well for the past 13 months of wedding planning. I’m jsut not getting ready to order the bm dresses, only because they all keep calling me and badgering me about it. I’m also stuck on invites. I have 5.5 months to go.

AHhh! My computer hiccuped! Sorry!
I bit off a big responsibility by deciding to arrange all the brass quintet music for the ceremony–I hired the quintet the same day I selected bridesmaids, right around a year ago. For about a month I was 100% gung-ho on music. Music music music. Then I burned out. I had another month this winter where I worked on the music literally every day. Then I burned out again. I promised the quintet they’d have the music by May 1, and what am I doing? Reading blogs.

About Me: I am a DIY gal. From cooking, home improvements to wedding. Mr. Snow Pea and I met in college, and since then we've been like peas and carrots! Love cooking, traveling, and fishing.
I hear you on the pre-cana. I keep meaning to schedule it but I keep procrastinating. At first I was insulted by the cost and now I think I’m worried they’ll decide we shouldn’t get married. But I sort of fibbed and told my family it’s been scheduled, maybe that’s my own way of motivating myself.
