Luckily we are only have a reception and no one is going to be at the ceremony. But It's very much a downer to hear everyone say how they had all these friends and family to help out.

You gotta relax and get some sleep. Not getting enough rest can cause you to stress out over the little things that don't matter.

I have been sitting here for the past 2 weeks thinking, why didn't I do that. Why didn't I take those pictures I had planned. Did everyone have a good time. Hell I don't even know if I liked my hair and makeup. What I do know is I was happy and so madly in love and left there feeling like it was the best party I have ever thrown so why I am stressing about it. Nice to feel you are not alone in your wedding and post wedding thoughts. Wonderful article. THANK YOU!! I have been sitting here for the past 2 weeks thinking, why didn't I do that.
