Ok...I have 7 days left until my wedding and well things arent going so good.
I found out last night that the family friend that was going to do the photography isnt going to be able to do it. He went in Friday for his yearly stress test and they told him some time when his last one (a year ago) and this one, he had had a heart attack. He doesnt understand why he didnt know it. They are going to run tests next week and admit him into the hospital on Friday to do an angiopasty (sp?) to check for blockages, and if they find any, they are going ahead and putting in stints. Im WAY more worried about this mans heath than I am stupid pictures anyway, but Im already stressed to the point of a nervous breakdown and this definitely didnt help.
Oh...wait it gets better! I get an email from my sister in Louisiana today (she had tried to call and it was busy so she thought we might be on the computer) and she told me they wouldnt be able to make it. The kids had been sick with upper respiratory infections for about 2 weeks that they cant seem to shake and now her and her husband are coming down with them. She has done all the flowers, bouts and coursages and shes over-nighting them to me. That also leaves me without a BM or FG. She feels really bad, and now Im ALSO worried about her and her babies.
Found out theres NO way my mom can fly in from Florida for the wedding either.
The only person I know for a fact from my family that coming to my wedding is my dad and he threatening to wear a tank top with cut off blue jeans, and knee socks with his tennis shoes. :bbeek: Oh good grief.....thats worse than what Brian said hes going to wear!!!!
Every body is sooooo worried that Im upset over all this and ok.....I am but I more worried about these people than I am the changes that have to be made in the wedding.
Brian, bless his heart, wanted me to go with him to get his shirt for the wedding. I wasnt going to go because......well hes a big boy and has been picking out his own clothes for a long time now. Little did I know that he was going to surprise me with a shopping trip for my "honeymoon wardrobe". Its my wedding/mother's day presents from him. I definitely cant complain because it was 10 times more than I was expecting for both. Hes going out of his way to keep me pacified and happy and I just want to :chair: . He doesnt get it that my frustrations right now have absolutley nothing to do with the wedding. I get the feeling that he thinks Im highly unstable and liable to go postal at any moment.
We did go out to eat tonight just the 2 of us and I explained a little to him and Im hoping he understands how I feel right now. He semi-thought I was wanting to back out and Im not......he knows that now. At least this evening he was treating me like he normally does instead of like a **** china doll. :bbconfused:
Sorry this was sooo long, but I really just needed to vent. Im scared to even think what else could go wrong.............or who else is going to get sick.:(

Awww Cindy i am sorry to hear you've lost the photographer, a bridesmaid, and your flower girl this week. And now your mom can't come either. That's definatly stressful. I hope everyone is ok.

I can kinda understand people being very worried about you and trying to make everything better for you. After putting soooo much into planning this wedding being really upset about the things that have gone wrong is reasonable.
But i totally get not wanting to be treated differently just because things arn't going exactly as planned. You are a very strong person and i know you can handle it. Everything will be ok. As long as you get to marry Brian at the end of the day.... it will be perfect! Take care of yourself this week.... try and get some good rest. I hope everything works out for ya!

Cindy I am so sorry. I kind of know how you feel. It sounds like everyone has valid reasons for not being there. You understand that. But, you still have 6 days and things can change in that time. You are a lot like me, so I know you will get through this with grace and dignity still in tact. Just make sure you understand that this is the only wedding you and Brian will get (I hope). Go in with the attitude that it is still going to be wonderful and fun. Enjoy your night. It will turn out well. And, if nothing else, you only have 6 more days to deal with it. That isn't very long. Good luck.

Cindy

I'm sorry honey but it sounds like you are taking everything in strides!! Its the only thing you can really do other then drive yourself completely nuts and I know you, you won't do that to yourself. Its terriable that all these people are sick, I guess some comet is in line with the sun or the moon or a planet or something. When it rains it pours, but we just have to get out our umbrella put on some rubber boots and splash in the puddles! Make the best of a bad situation I guess you could say. I'm sorry you won't have a BM and a FG, but I am sure they will be there in spirit with you. Perhaps you could set out a picture of the people who wanted to but couldn't make it and then that way they will kinda be there for you! Take care Honey, I hope things go a little smoother as you get closer and closer to the wedding. And bless Brian's heart because shopping can help cure some things!! Take care Cindy!!

Ugh Cindy! Sorry about all the challenges! But it's still going to be a beautiful wedding and in a few days you will be happily married! I can't beleive that it's coming up so fast. Hope everyone gets better, and I am glad you and Brian had some time to talk, just the two of you.

We had a pretty good day yesterday. We got a lot accomplished and took our times doing it. We were able to stay semi-relaxed throughout the day. Im not stressing about the changes that have to be made. Im just going to work with what we got!

Oh, Cindy. I'm sorry.
Funny how kids think we are just the most gullible creatures ever... Yeah right, like they sprung a "pop" concert on them just today. OK. :bbrolleyes:
Honestly, my dear, I have a feeling this whole week is going to be hectic. It always is when you have alot to do. But, nonetheless, you will make it though. :D
