There are still a ton of things to plan for the wedding, but it's not just things directly related to the reception either. I have certain family members who aren't doing great healthwise, so I have responsibilities there. J's mom is clueless about weddings and needs a lot of help, so there I am again in that corner. Relatives start arriving in under two weeks, so my parents' house needs to look nice and we need to have enough blankets and beds. Plus I have the sniffles, my toes feel frozen, and I have a million details to wrap up. Plus Christmas is coming, as is my sister's birthday. And instead of helping J and his friend are planning a bachelor's party for two nights before my "very hands on, very DIY, need a lot of non-hung over helping hands" wedding. Are all men clueless? Don't answer that. I'm happy to handle 99% of the wedding tasks because he works and I don't, but this is bullshit.
Bought adorable thank you cards yesterday, though! Looking at them makes me happy. And it occured to me that a certain couple still hasn't sent us a thank you card for what was quite a substantial wedding gift. Petty of me to remember, right? Why is it often considered petty when you call people out for being downright rude?

Aww!!! *BIG HUGS!!*
Don't feel so bad... this is completely normal, especially so close to the finish line, because it all suddenly seems so REAL. Do ask for help, even from the clueless and busy. Did you pick a DOC? See if she/he can help with some slack ahead of time.
BTW, I can't tell you how many weddings I've been to that I never recieved a thank you (Just went to one last saturday that I doubt it). It's even more infuriating when it's one of those 'bossy- knottie' follow everything by the rules and my guests must do as well brides. :PPPP
Thanks dommy! And you know what, your e-mail was right. I do need to ask for more help. I've been really nice and thoughtful and "what would make everyone happy?" for too long. I'm going to start assigning tasks.
Good on you!! :) I hope you get the help you need! Every little errand or paper punch you don't have to do helps! :)

Sounds like someone needs to take pei out for a good dinner tonight. That always seems to make you happy. Just thinking about food makes me happy. Last week you recommened Delfina to me, and I was able to get reservations there. I've been happy ever since. lol. Now all I need to do is find a good Chinese place close to the Omni.
As far as the wedding stuff goes, you are suppossed to enjoy the whole experience. Just remember that all of the little/big things don't always go perfect. And, sometimes they end up being the funniest/best memories that last forever. G
I am walking over right now to J's building to give him a long lecture! - C
Boys are useless. Imagine if J is involved 1000% in the wedding... everyone in ripped jeans, huddled over the raw seafood bar with a stiff drink in hand. No music, no flowers, just a giant TV and everyone playing Wii. Trust me, help or not, the wedding you planned is WAY better. -T.
