Were you stressed out a week before your wedding?

My SIL is getting married next weekend.  She is not doing any of the planning.  She just wants to show up.  So, I can understand her not being stressed out.

But, my MIL is doing all the planning and DH talked to her today over webcam and she was totally relaxed. She is talking about all the books she is reading.

She has never planned a party in her life.  Plus, she is a type of person who just goes "oh well" about major things when she shouldn't at all.  She is not very organized either. I just have a feeling this wedding is going to be a disaster.

    uh oh!  I was TOTALLY stressed. 

    I make jokes now that taking care of DD is 10 times easier than planning my wedding was.  Since we got married and then pregnant right away.

    Well, if it is, my SIL can only blame herself since she did not want to plan it all.  

    They wanted me to plan from cross-country!  Um, no.  They were not help to me for my wedding (more like burdens) so why should I help them?

    I am not even going, but DH is.  I am not flying cross-country with a 11 month old to sit in a hotel room the entire weekend with DD.  (Adult only reception)  Plus, if I went they wanted me to be a BM (a way I figured they thought would get me to help them).  Who would take care of DD while I am in this wedding?

    I told them about the Knot and a couple books I liked.  I figured it out; they can too.

    I hit a zen moment (i'm super uptight:) the Wed. before my wedding.  My dress was getting pressed and altered at the same place the tuxes were so my grandfather was picking it up on Wed.  He arrived and they had no record of my dress.  As in ever.  They had no idea where it was, when it had come in, etc.  He didn't even want to tell me, but my Mom figured it was better I have some flex time to fix it.  I remember her calling me and me saying, "Hmmmm, well, I guess I can buy something off the rack tomorrow".  My Mom thought I was drinking:)  The dress was found and able to be picked up on Friday morning, but I was just really unconcerned.  I look back and think I can't believe I wasn't freaking out!

    I understand the zen moment.  My MIL was in-charge of getting DH's cousins in Europe to pick out flower girls dresses.  The only thing I asked of her.  I find out the night before she told me to get a horrible clashing color.  I asked it be either pink or white.  She told them midnight blue.  I didn't freak out when I found out at the rehearsal.  I just had my wedding party picture done in black and white.

    Not at all, actually, and our baker canceled our cake order. I ended up having to make 200 cupcakes the day before our wedding and frosted them the day of. Our wedding was low key and a lot of fun. I was more focused on the after part of it than the actual wedding day.?

    Nope.  I actually went on vacation with a friend to her lake cottage for the four days before the wedding.  Best thing to do, my tan was awesome :)
