Default How do you cope?!

We fly out next week for the wedding, and i'm going insane! How do you cope with the final weeks without actually needing to be put into stasis??

I can't honestly remember but we're all here so you do get through it! Deep breaths and one task at a time

Remind yourself that its just one day. You're not planning for just that day its for the rest of your lives so unless that idea freaks you out then that day though lovely isn't the be all and end all.

Oooh, your post is bringing the memories of stress back to me. It does seem like there's too much to deal with in the last week or so, but on the day it will all be worth it. You'll cope, you just do. Just try and remember the excitement too.
I am looking forward to seeing your photos!

OMG you have brought back memories. This time last year i was seriously freaking out as the alterations hadnt been done on my dress and we had 2 weeks to go.

Take one thing at a time and it will all come together

Hi guys

Well, I must have made it through those couple of weeks as its not long now until our first anniversary. I've stuck around here and kept up with everyone's news, but I don't like to 'butt in'!

The wedding and honeymoon were perfect, and Vegas was wonderful - we're back there again in a few weeks as part of a 4 week drive across America.

A couple of photos for you. First one is our first kiss :-)

I love the pics - and you're not 'butting in'!!!

What other plans have you got for the long holiday in the states?

Thanks - I love the pics too, but then I am biased!

As for the holiday, we're flying to New York, then getting a train to Boston for our anniversary. After that we pick up the car and visit Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, St Louis, Tulsa, Amarillo, Albuquerque, Flagstaff, Las Vegas, LA and finally San Francisco.

I don't think i'll get any sleep but hopefully it'll be worth it. Just 5 more weeks left in work (not that i'm counting down of course!)

There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
So, quiet now cobwebs go to sleep.
