Lately, I have been totally stressed about wedding planning. Both Mr. Raspberry and I are very busy with our jobs–after the Daily Candy post last week, I have been slammed, which is a good thing. But I’ve been working so much, I feel like I’m not taking enough time to enjoy all the little parts of planning our wedding. At the same time, I try to put things in perspective by thinking that no matter what size candles I decide on for the reception tables, the wedding will happen and in the end we will be husband and wife. I know this sounds so cheesy, but it’s true! My wedding band arrived a couple of weeks ago (Mr. Raspberry’s came months ago) and I cannot wait to wear it! I can’t wait to be Mrs. Raspberry!
My list of little things to take care of is so long, there is no way I can possibly do everything myself. And Mr. Raspberry has taken on all of the tasks I can really delegate to him.
Is this less than 3 months to go stress totally normal? Have you had any breakdowns where you just think, I really do not care what shade of white the napkins are??? I know in the end everything will be beautiful, and I really don’t want to make anymore decisions! I just want to enjoy every moment of the last couple of months…
I apologize for my post not being full of inspiration or ideas… I feel as though there are several of you out there feeling exactly the same way and I wanted to communicate that you are not the only one!
I hear ya! When we were in the early planning stages almost a year ago, we went to a wedding where plenty of things either hadn’t been thought of or didn’t go as planned, and you know what? That couple is happily married.
I got a book out of the local library last fall called “Weddings for Grown-Ups,” and I liked it so much I bought a copy. One of the best things it says is to worry about the stuff that’s important to you, and leave the rest. You’re right: no one will care what shade of white the napkins were.
Take a day off. Tell ‘em the weddingbee readers said so.
