In the past week we had to "let go" of our current pastor and find someone else, the hotel that we are using to block rooms is not being cooperative and has changed the pricing on me (dramatically), my DIY bouquets for the bridal party were a complete failure and I failed to make the final payment to our photographer by the due date because I have somehow LOST our contract and didn't know it was due!
I'm emotionally drained. I have never wanted to give up on something so badly as I do this wedding! Why didn't we go to the courthouse or elope?
But, I can see light at the end of the tunnel.....
Our new officiant is so totally cool. She understands our "vision" and hasn't tried to push us to do something we are uncomfortable with. Not to mention that she has such a great personality. She is funny and a bit of a wise-ass just like my fiance! What a perfect fit!
Yes, the hotel has raised their prices but they are at least working with me on other areas. Originally, as most hotels do, I had to block rooms and whatever rooms were not used I was responsible for payment. They are now letting me block rooms and whatever rooms are not booked they will just open back up to the public a couple weeks before the wedding and I will not be responsible for the cost. The downside is still the fact that I have to make sure my guests book their rooms in the next couple weeks as the blocked rooms are only good up until a certain date.
After giving up on the idea that I would make all the bouquets, I finally broke down and went to a florist. I'm in L-O-V-E with the bridesmaid bouquets that we picked out.

And here is the inspiration picture for my bouquet:
And lastly, I spoke to our photographer yesterday and explained how sorry I was about missing the payment and she was totally cool. A check went in the mail and all is right with the world again!
Now if only I could make some progress on our rehearsal dinner.......

Sounds like despite the problems that came up, they all turned out okay. 37 days! :-)
Wow, the wedding is rapidly approaching. My advice to you is this: figure out what MUST be done and tackle those tasks. Then work on anything else that you want to do..but give yourself a cut off (say 2-3 days pre-wedding) if those items are not done, they don't happen. If you don't you are liable to be rushed right up until your walk down the aisle...and that's no way to feel on your big day.
HANG IN THERE!! Love the bouquets! Actually, I just scheduled a post for tomorrow that mentions how cheap it is to use baby's breath. It looks amazing, too.
