Wedding Forum - OMG Its getting so close!!!!!!...

Girls im sorry in advance for this but I need to get my worries out as im sick of holding them all in:

So ive only got 7.5 weeks left before the wedding and im getting unbelievably stressed out!

Venue closed down over about 10 days ago and since then we've had venue viewings, hundreds of phone calls, regiving our notice, paperwork upon paperwork. Finally chose a venue - went to sort the final details out on sunday gone only to find that our questions that we had asked hadnt been answered - so had to wait until yday when they got back to me but now want me to go back over there on saturday to discuss timings layouts menus etc etc. Its all getting a bit overwhelming as I'm worried ill forget something with all the changes that has been made in the last 10 days :(

Then stupidly on our part we have decided to also move house.... this is happening waaaaaaaaay quicker than what i expected (already having the valuation and surveys done) and the persons house that were moving into is trying to push for us to move in before we get married :S
Well we were wanting to move in after we got back from our honeymoon -but this may not happen :S
Nothing is packed - so theres all that to do

STILL waiting on peoples rsvps for the weddin..... i gave them the rsvp date of 28th feb and honestly cant believe that some people are rude enuff to just not let us know???

Evening buffet decisions are too hard.... we decided on quite a random buffet of hot dogs, chips, pizzas, sandwiches, sausage rolls, salads, crisps, nuts, cheese bites and garlic bread. We have 108 people coming to the eve of our wedding with another 12 possibles. How many hot dogs do i get? If i got 90 portions would i literally get 90 hot dogs???

I feel like im literally going to work, then on lunch hour going to an appointment either for wedding or house, then going home and doing uni work.

I feel like i could crash.... im covered in spots on my face which have suddenly appeared in the last two weeks.

Aaaaaaaand to top it all off im not loosing any weight at the moment so gutted about that!

Aaaaaaaaaand breathe x

I've been told cater for 75-80% of the evening babes so maybe do the same as not everyone eats?
As for the house,if ur buying then surely you moving in is on your terms not theirs, so just tell them or maybe just (pretend) threaten that you'll pull out as you have too much on lol and see what they say...
RSVPS I think you should start ringing round and getting people in check and explain how important it is you know.
Then the MIL one...I really don't know where to start ...lol....I had enough issues with my ex mother in law and my daughters over stuff like this... She used to keep a wardrobe of clothes so if she had them for the day and didn't like what they were in (which was always next but if anything denim) she would change them into frilly 1950s dresses... Well safe to say I went mad, I think your idea is great tho that you've already spoke to the photographer about it x

oh my god hun im so sorry this has happened about ur venue! What happened??Im so pleased that u have found somwhere else though, and re-done your notice of marriage as thats the important bit. Stop worrying about forgetting something, the more you worry the more likely it is you WILL forget something due to stress. Write everything down so its on paper and then take a day or 2 off, relax and when u come back to it all you will be a lot more productive!
With the house you need to get your solicitors involved and say adamantly we CANNOT move before such and such date. Dont be bullied by the other owner!!
RSVPs well I read so much on these forums I started chasing mine early, I have all but 2 back now and they have 3 days. I'll be honest though the people who said no I didnt have to chase at all, I think some people assume you will know or in our case some of them said they didnt think they needed to RSVP to an evening only invite (not like we are catering or anything!!!!)
Food, the choices sound great, I love buffet food lol. I always think cater too much than too little but it depends if you can afford to do that. I agree with KelBel that most places say cater for 80% as some wont eat, having eaten earlier or you do get the odd few that wont show up on the evening.
With MIL, im really not sure what to say, my MIL is a nightmare too and I just have to ignore her. Its not really your place is your OHs mom he should say something really but if its easier and less stressful to just let it go then I would - you have enough going on at the moment!
Just remember important thing is you and OH are getting married, if you miss something Im sure you wont even notice on the day you will be too busy being loved up!! Good Luck hun xxx

So the venue.... basically i was in marbella on a bootcamp and i injured me knee... so i went inside the house and looked at me mob..... i had 18 texts - all were off my suppliers bless them sayin that i neded to contact longhirst hall... but no reason why. I thought it was some sort of joke to be honest.... so i tried calling them but no answer. so i googled. first thing that came up was "shock closure of longhirst hall" i literally just fell to the floor and burst out crying. because it was so close to our wedding i just assumed there was no way what so ever that we could find elsewhere. so i called me mum... she called every venue within northumberland and doxford hall altho a lil further away said they could match everything from longhirst. So i landed back in the uk and went straight there lol.
just under 2 weeks later and we're all sorted :)
going back tomorrow to give final numbers etc.
eeeeeeeeek!

house situation - we made her aware that we were getting married and then wud be on our honeymooon but no agreed date was discussed. so we took the first step and suggested the end of may. i mean its only 7 weeks till the wedding and most house moving stuff takes 8-12 weeks so we thought we were being fair. but she came back with "well i was hoping before u got married that u would move...."
so now we're kind of in limbo. were selling our house and our buyers aint bothered when they move which is lucky.
valuations are being done next week and the searches have been paid for so its just how long they take to come back with results. im hoping for a while lol.

its not a problem money wise if we move before we get married but to be honest id rather not have the stress lol!

MIL - yes they are perfectly clear that they are not flower girl/page boy.... but as h2b is getting married and it doesnt seem like his sister will anytime soon their exact words were "well when are they going to get to dress up like this again?"

its not that we're not close to them as we kinda are, but it was out decision for them not to be involved in the wedding. my h2b has 2 daughters and they cant come to wedding.... if we wud have flower girls it would be them. but its like we say one thing and it goes in one ear and out the other.

they literally cudnt give a poo what we think or say.... they just do what they want, when they want

but our photographer is aware of the situation and hes said that if theres ne probs on the day he'll take a couple of shots with them in and "accidently" loose them which is really nice of him to do as he cud just literally drop us in it.

id rather not have ne pics taken with them in as i dont want guests thinking that they are but im kinda thinking atm its just the least of my worries....

my knee injury is worse than i thought and i dont know if im going to be able to walk down stairs by the time of the wedding which may be an issue for the stairs that are part of the aisle :(
