Wedding Worries

I have really been slacking in the Blog department lately. I guess that's what a crazy work schedule and wedding planning will do to you. As of today, we are T-minus 32 days until the wedding. And, if you ask Jon, I am a freaking basket case.

I am in no way worried about getting married. I am worried about the following (in no particular order):
a) all the people who haven't RSVPed yet,
b) contracting a sickness during our honeymoon,
c) my newly debuted icky skin,
d) moving the weekend after the wedding,
e) being cash-strapped, as Jon calls it,
f) my future mother-in-law liking her gift,
g) my mother going overboard with the centerpieces,
h) my photographer possibly not showing up on the big day,
i) renting a U-Haul the day we get back from our honeymoon and transporting Jon's non-matching washer and dryer down the stairs by our selves,
j) my stupid leg and the fact that it is still swollen like a softball,
k) screwing up our first dance over which we have almost killed ourselves learning,
l) my mom's rule that we can't open wedding gifts until after the wedding,
m) Jon's only brother actually showing up for the wedding (I doubt he will, which makes me very sad for Jon),
n) how to make my mom understand that I don't care how the centerpieces are arranged,
o) Jon's family showing up 2 hours before the actual wedding rehearsal,
p) my Dad accidentally tore a hole in my veil,
q) getting my legs waxed,
r) somehow missing something we were supposed to do for marriage preparation,
s) not getting to eat all our yummy food or cake on the big day,
t) relatives getting drunk and making racist comments,
u) my sister's bridesmaids dress not fitting,
v) my mom demanding the florist make me a new wedding bouquet because my mom doesn't like it (but I do....),
w) not being able to kneel during the ceremony (see worry about stupid leg),
x) our luggage getting lost
y) my Dad's health and work stress level,
z) having my family pack boxes while I'm in another country in an attempt to "help" the moving process.

Ok, so, maybe a full alphabetical list is a little much, but it's the truth. My biggest worry is that I can't sleep. I have so many wedding and work thoughts running through my head that I lay awake and wake up having had very strange dreams. I just pray that I don't crash and burn.

Throughout this whole process, Jon has been my level foundation. I baffles me the way he can anticipate my worries and already have a plan in place to calm me down and take some of the burden upon himself. He truly is the person God made just for me. And that is the one thing I never worry about.

oh man, i can totally relate. i think it's pretty normal to have a million things to worry about right before the wedding. but for me, what helped was just having a cut-off date. two days before the wedding i just said, "everyone else can take care of it." pretty much i was done worrying about everything. if something went wrong, so be it. i was done stressing. the things that appeared so huge before seemed to diminish in size. and let me tell you, those were the best 2 days. i was free to just relax and enjoy the experience instead of stressing out. anyway...maybe something like that would help you, too. good luck with everything!!

Geez isn't being engaged the worst? I swear that was my least favorite part of our whole relationship thus far. Just make sure you relax and enjoy your day ;-).
