Freaaak Ouuut! -- 5 months left...

Soooo, as many of my wedding website reminders have decided to enlighten me on today... I have 5 months left. 5 months!!!!

5 months to:
  • Find a DJ,
  • Find an Officiant,
  • Pick out Tuxes,
  • Get the Bridesmaid dresses rolling,
  • Contact and get the clutches made,
  • Get my dress fitted [schedule it first!!],
  • Book our room for the weekend,
  • Find out if there's a free premarital counseling place... Craig refuses to pay for that,
  • Send Save-the-Dates [Or as Craig likes to refer it as: Save-the-Last-Date.. hahaha],
  • Rehearsal Dinner,
  • Day After Brunch,
  • Invitations [doing myself, so it's a big project],
  • Bridal Shower [good thing I'm not dealing with that, but I still worry!!!],
  • Marriage License,
  • Menu,
  • Buy Craig's ring,
  • Bridesmaid accessories,
  • Bride accessories,
  • Figure out what b/c I need to go on,
  • Gifts for awesome helpers,
  • Special Songs play list,
  • Find something to get rid of awesome acne [though, I don't expect anything to work, like always],
  • Out of Town Guest bags [which will be, like, everyone],
  • Ceremony Programs,
  • Keep Track of RSVPs,
  • Get my guest-book made [you'll see what I mean],
  • Get a picture on canvas [another, you'll see what I mean],
  • Get official "change your name" documents,
  • Find Something new, blue, and borrowed... I have something old. Does it count if I wont' be wearing it until the end of the ceremony?,
  • Make a timeline for people who have to be somewhere at a certain time,
  • Figure out if we want to do a receiving line or visit tables...,
And that's all before the wedding... After the wedding, I have to:
  • Get on C's insurance,
  • merge our bank accounts [hopefully I can do that before hand]
  • Change my name... on everything...
  • Cry [I'll need it],
  • Send out announcements to family & friends,
  • Get our new license [We've been holding off because I didn't want to pay twice for a new license],
And probably other stuff I haven't even thought about... Or can't remember at all.

Normally writing it down helps me see how "in the clear" I am, and I'm just overreacting... But this does not help one bit. Damn. I'm not nervous about the marriage part [well, not as much as I thought I would be], but it's the planning to make it an awesome event for everyone else that's freaking me out.

I think your long list is freaking me out and all I have to do is show up.

:D The best part... I haven't done anything on it. lol. I'm either very busy or very lazy. I'm guessing both.

That sounds like a crazy list, but with the whole bank account sharing you can do that before the wedding, you just can't change your name on the account until you show them the marriage certificate or your changed drivers licence. Travis and I had to do the same thing. But seriously, you can do that whole list, I know you can!! p.s. do you need any help?

Yeah, we're just going to wait to put me on the bank account until my name changes. Just like the drivers license. No use paying extra for that. It's already going to be bad enough trying to remember who I have to call to make sure I get my name changed in their system. YAAAY! haha. I think I have officially landed in freak out mode.

I don't think I need any help right now... :( But that could just be because I forgot where I left off last month. lol :D Thanks though!
