Hi Melissa

I'm getting married the week before you. I'm organised, in as much as I've done all I can do at this stage, but I'm now panicking that something will go wrong!

What have you got left to do? Perhaps it's not as bad as you think?

My mum still hasn't got her outfit, even though I've been nagging her since March!

Both mums, mine and Davids, got their outfits last weekend so they are sorted.

Got to sort out my cake, my flowers, my passport arrrggghh, my DJ list cos he goes on holiday, churchy stuff, order of service, little bm shoes and loads more. Stressing a bit about it. The church stuff is important as its all bits that needs to be sorted otherwise the wedding won't be legal.

Hi Melissa, I'm not getting married on the 14th, but I will be celebrating my 1st anniversary on the 15th !! So I know exactly what you have left to go through and how you are feeling!

If you need any advice onthe order of service and church stuff, just give us a shout, I'm more than happy to help where I can!

Luv Lo xx

Melissa

Do you have a to-do list? If not write down exactly what you have left to do and prioritise it. When you've done that, see what you can delegate. There might be lots your H2B, mum, CBM etc can do to take the strain from you.

Have you booked your honeymoon in your married name? Is that why you need to sort out your passport? If so, just send it off now, as far as I'm aware (I'm doing mine after!), you only have to send it off with a form and payment, you don't have to worry about extra ID or another photo, but don't quote me on it. But I'd get that done ASAP, otherwise you won't be able to get on the plane.

Try not to panic, difficult though it is, I'm sure that there are plenty of people that are willing if not gagging to help you out.

Just give me a shout if you need any help.

K xx

Hi Melissa,

Making a list is a good idea. Also if you want something natural to calm you down go to Boots and get Bachs Rescue Remedy. The stuff is absolutely brill. And don't forget to get enough sleep at nights - don't stay up late doing last minute bits as you'll feel it on your wedding day.

Hi Melissa

I'm a fortnight after you - 28/09 - and I know how you feel! Karen's right, making a list is a fantastic idea. It seems a stressful thing to do, but once I'd done it, and could see everything written down, it really got rid of those 'oh, here's another thing I'm bound to forget' moments. I stuck it on the wall at work (much to the amusement of colleagues), and every time I think 'Aargghh, got to book this/finalise that/talk about this' I look at it, to make sure these things are written down with a due date.

Takes 20 mins, worth days of your time!

HTH,

T xx

Thanks girls for all your help! I'm going to try and calm down.

I've been taking a bit of that Bach Rescue Remedy which does help a bit - not sure if its all in the mind but heh, anything will do.

Better get that list done tonight!!!
