let me preface this by saying i''m generally pretty even-keeled. i swear. but - my wedding is in eight weeks, and in the past few days, i''ve tranformed into a giant ball of stress. i think it boils down to this: i''m scared to death that everything is going to suck. i basically planned this by myself - my mom is hundreds of miles away and works a ton, and my fiance works about 90 hours a week, so while he tries to help, it''s just not that practical. not that i''m a fulltime wedding planner - i''m a writer for a very large publication with constant deadlines, which isn''t helping at the moment. and, i''m not as productive as i should be at work because I''m a stress case. Anyway, underlying all of this is the fact that so far, nothing seems to have turned out quite right. Nothing earth-shattering, just annoying things like our invitation calligraphy having to be redone, my wedding ring arriving without the engraving, the room block at the hotel being closed off before the date on the contract. It''s just always something - something that I then have to call and fix. Which only makes me cringe at what might be coming down the pike... Is there anything I can do to ameliorate this forboding feeling? other than 1.medicate and 2.make tons of lists?
