Wedding Planning Frustrations

Wow, it has been two and a half LONG months since I've updated this blog! That just goes to show how incredibly crazy it has been during that time frame. I can't remember the last time I had a weekend unfortunately where the focus wasn't on wedding planning. I'm sad to say that I'm so tired now of this wedding planning. With the pressure being on and with being overconsumed and catching up on things for the planning, it just really wears you out a lot. I don't remember what my life was like before the wedding planning.

Now the wedding is practically in ONE day! I still have little things to do (it's been on my to do list for weeks that I've wanted to update this blog). So I making a point to do a little bit of it at least before the actual wedding. Wow, crazy...ONE DAY. The wedding is in one day. And after THE day, all my planning is done. All that work for just ONE DAY. Craziness!

I really am excited for the wedding. To finally marry the man I love, to be with our family and friends, and to see how all the design and planning will come out. Will it be worth my madness? I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I'm excited and I'm tired but at least I'm breathing.

In these last two months and a half, I've had a lot of struggles to say the least. Just struggles with various aspects of the wedding planning. I've had run-ins when it comes to sponsors going to the rehearsal, run-ins with the music coordinator for the church....actually the church gave me so much grief in the last two months. With almost not having Father Tony preside. The church is crazy...I am so over St. Lorenzo. They are awful!! Every single one I'm working with for that church is just awful.

Then I've had run-ins with Glenn's family and addition of just random guests I couldn't swallow. Then I've had run-ins with just changing up guests in general because there were last minute add ons, there were cancellations, etc. Oh, the cancellations PISS ME OFF! I put together an "at-risk" list where I thought that some people may not make it even after saying they would. Wouldn't you know I was right about some...Tony, Mike...seriously, Charlene and Tony, why respond yes if we're just going to go through this drama 1.5 WEEKS BEFORE THE DAMN WEDDING!!!!!! Speaking of Charlene, same kind of stunt pulled for my Bachelorette Party back in August (which by the way was super fun and I'm so glad the girls enjoyed each other). She still had to pay for her commitment. It's very rude, discourteous, and disrespectful and I don't understand it. And she then asks me if she could do anything to help me like 3 days before the wedding. Well I think enough has been done....

I had a setback with the day of stationery and a run-in with Sherdellah who has something up her butt and was so inflexible with getting my day of stationery going. So I wasted so much time only to realize her pricing was way jacked up (probably because she was raped with the pricing she gave me for the invitations). She was just so inflexible with the tote bags, the cost, the images, it was horrible. Made me want to throw up. Well I guess I'm never working with her again.

If I could, I would seriously spit out all this feedback to Sherdellah and the church after the wedding.

Wow so the tone of this post is way different than my previous posts just because of all the challenges I've gone through these past couple of months. Every single weekend, wedding planning. Incredible. So tired!

But I am ready for the big day now and I can't wait to see how it unfolds.
