Guys...I am so, so sorry that I haven't been blogging. As I've mentioned previously, it has been a crappy past few months. It feels like ever since we got engaged, bad things started happening. What a bummer! And more importantly, what a damper on wedding planning.
First there was the job, which I love, but I'm not certain I can handle (or at least I can't continue like this). A.P. keeps telling me I work investment banker hours, but sadly, I'm not an investment banker. It never seems to lighten up, and it's kind of slowly killing me. I have no life! Seriously...not only do I not blog, but I don't even read gossip anymore. WHAT THE WHAT??!!?? I have zero time for me, and that means everyone else suffers, too. My family is wondering where I've gone. My friends have barely heard from me. So much so that it's all I can do to hold out hope that they still love me enough to come to the wedding.
Then, two weeks after starting my new job, my brother landed in the hospital. My mother, who would normally attend to his health, was in Florida having a surgery. So I had to run around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to stay sane, cope at my job, and deal with a sick mother and brother.
Then, just as we finally got into the wedding planning, and were enjoying the calm after the storm, a hurricane of sorrow hit us like a ton of bricks: A.P. lost his mother. We had to attend the funeral in Florida (which also cost me near $500!), and while some wedding planning was still be done, it was mostly shelved for obvious reasons.
Now it's mid-November, we're still holding out for a March 27th wedding, and we have ZERO done. It's sad. It's pathetic. And it has us questioning if we're sane.
Can we do it? I don't know. But hopefully, now that things have FINALLY chilled a bit, I can blog and you all can help us determine if it's possible! (Or make fun of me in the comments for pretty much losing my mind...just wait until you guys see what crazy things I'm trying to get done in four months!)
Hang in there! We've decided to move our date from March to much later in the year (August-October sometime). We haven't been through nearly as much as you, but certainly our own variety of nightmares.
ReplyDeleteWe just decided one day about two weeks ago that there was no way that we could make a March wedding work in a way that either of us would be comfortable with. We both feel a TON better just knowing that the planning isn't looming over us and we'll have time to make our little party turn out the right way.
Its a hard call when there's no huge rush to get hitched, but no real reason to wait either. If you're really that overwhelmed with the thought of pulling together the whole thing in 5 months time, there is nothing wrong with postponing it to a date that is easier to handle.
I believe that it definitely is possible, but you need to decide whether it is possible for the two of YOU to get it done and feel good about it. :) Good luck!
