Planning a wedding is not the easiest thing in the world to do. I have been planning my dream wedding for over nine months now, and I only have about two solid months left of planning until my fiance and I actually tie the knot. While I could not be happier and more excited, I could not be more stressed either. I had no clue that it was going to be just so difficult to get everything together for this big day. On top of it all, after our honeymoon we are having to move to Los Angeles. I decided though that I will beat this stress, and thankfully I have some great friends and family that will be assisting with my three largest stresses: the wedding dress, moving to LA, and the seating chart.
My wedding dress has been a debacle since the first time I laid eyes on it seven months ago. The shape of the dress really did not work for my body, so some alterations had to be made. After the alterations it looked worse. I was intent on just getting a different dress altogether, but our budget wouldn’t allow for it. After two more alterations it has slowly become the beautiful gown I envisioned, but of course I have dropped some weight due to stress. To take some of the pressure off of my shoulders my sister is going to be the one chauffeuring my dress to me and back to alterations if need be. Now to settle the moving dilemma.
I am so excited to be moving to LA. I just wish it wasn’t so close to our wedding. Packing and moving in itself is already a pain, but planning a wedding, packing, and moving that’s torture. Again, it’s a friend to the rescue! My Maid of Honor got together a list and quotes of moving companies Los Angeles for me and my hubby-to-be. She even took the time to ask all of the questions that I had for the companies.
The seating chart has got to be one of the most tedious things of the whole wedding event. Luckily for me the wedding is not too terribly large and most of the people invited are close friends and family who my mother knows. She volunteered to take over the seating arrangements for me.
Honestly delegating and splitting up the most stressful situations that come up when planning a wedding is the best thing for any bride to do. It doesn’t matter if you are having a huge event or a small soiree, let those who care about you help you out. You will not regret getting rid of some of that stress.
