The Rambling Wedding Countdown

8 days.

4 Refine classes.

3 days of work.

18378484784 things left to be done.

Get ready for some true Dori-style ramblings. Here we go.

I started a post about my bachelorette party, which I’m really excited to tell you about because of the fitness component, but the task of looking through the photos and uploading them, formatting them and tagging them is just too much this week. I have tons of work to do at my job and I still haven’t done SO MANY things for the wedding.

I did, however, find eight hours to watch season four of Arrested Development.

Lest you STILL think I am exaggerating about everything I have left to do this close to June 8 (as I proved I wasn’t during my last post), I still have to talk to the caterer about the table setup and other details, communicate our menu options, talk to the alcohol vendor, select linens from the… linens? vendor, write and create the programs, create table cards (which my former roommate/current pregnant bridesmaid Lim graciously volunteered to do and by volunteered I mean took pity on me), make the centerpieces, buy and put together the hotel gift bags, pick up my wedding dress, figure out the  transportation time with the Long Island Railroad timetable (we’re offering rides to the train back to NYC as well as to the hotel), communicate to Andy’s sister (our volunteer day-of coordinator) all the vendor information and timetable, write a checklist of everything I need to bring to Queens from my apartment for the wedding. And that is not even including all the things I am forgetting.

And I have one week left. Three full work days. My friend’s wedding tomorrow, which is in Massachusetts and means travel time, party time, family time and more travel time — in other words, a weekend of non-wedding planning.

Overwhelmed is an understatement but you know, this is what happens when you do nothing for almost a year and then it’s suddenly crunch time. By this time next week I hope to be ready to go!

As I told our chuppah vendor: I don’t think I will know what stress-free is until the honeymoon.
