Tuesday again! And I’m very happy that it’s this Tuesday instead of last Tuesday. Last week I had a bad experience on the streets of Toronto and Kent’s wallet was mysteriously lost/stolen. Not a great week!
However, one Tuesday later also means one Tuesday closer to the wedding and stag and doe. I think I’m officially getting stressed out. I feel like I spend half of my days organizing stuff for them but never get anything accomplished. I think the stag and doe is more stressful for me right now just because I feel like it’s all on my shoulders… I feel like there are lots of people thinking about with the wedding and helping me out and doing things for it. Although it does scare me a bit that because it’s a tent wedding, there won’t be one person in charge on that day making sure things run smoothly. Does anyone have experience with day-of-coordinators?
But the stag and doe… I feel like if I did absolutely nothing up until that day (which obviously wouldn’t happen, but just for instance) then on that night (JUNE 27TH), there would be an empty hall with no alcohol, no helpers, and a crowd of angry people. So right now I just feel like I’m treading water trying to stop that crowd of angry people from happening. Re-reading that, it sounds kind of mean because I know there are a lot of people wanting to help out, but right now it’s just all of the logistics and the paperwork that only I (and Kent) can do, and most of the things don’t need to be done yet. It’s just feeling like there are so many things in the future that is the problem. They stress me out now even if they are not critical! I’m not doing a very good job of selling my stag and doe right now… I mean… come! It will be a great time! Even if I’m curled up in a ball in the corner!
AHH. End rant. Okay. So my wonderful sister and brand new brother in law helped us print off our invitations on the weekend. Kent’s sister is going to help me on Thursday with cutting them and addressing them all. Katelyn is making a map, my mom is making RSVPs, Denis is printing them, and Kent’s brother in law is making us a website with wedding information for guests. So invitations should be ready within a couple of weeks. That means that… maybe… someday I will be able to breathe!

Breathe. You will get through it. It will be great. Ask me for anything. And next year at this time you can tell me to breathe. Love you.
Awww, I’m wonderful
We are happy to help with stag and doe stuff too!!
dude, the crowd wouldnt be thaaat angry, cause there would totally be a crown and anchor wheel in one corner, and who needs alcohol to have fun when you have crown and anchor?? haha, don’t worry it’s gonna be great!
My dearest Mickers I am pretty much unemployed until your stag’n'doe …feel free to delegate and if you want me to come down early for the stag’n'doe to help set up, etc. I’m allllll yours because I’m coming down anyways for da’ party
Love you! Love, Me
Breath! just keep remembering to breath.. it works.. haha.. I know how you’re feeling, although in my case, it was just me doing everything ( my bm’s sucked..lol )
if you need a DOC – instead of paying for one, find a friend who you trust and ask them if they mind doing it.. and just give them a run down the week of the wedding of how you want things done and all that jazz.
This is why I am eloping. The whole wedding planning thing? Not my cup of tea.
Mic, you have an amazing wedding planned, you know how amazing Mom is and she will make sure everything comes together, you have tons of people that love you and would give the world to help you out and you are going to have a super fun stag and doe and an even better wedding!

Mickers did you know that you aren’t technically even supposed to be planning the stag and doe? It’s supposed to be all the wedding party… so basically you need to kick your wedding party in the butts.
For ours the boys did a lot, and I think that might be your other problem, all of Kent’s friends are in Toronto and none of them probably know what a stag and doe is!
If you want Scott and my help please ask
kick us in the butts kate? I don’t know what needs to be done, but if Mic asked me to do something I would do it. Like the posters. Thanks for making us look like a bad bridal party

All that work will soon be worth it, I remember having the same feelings prior to my wedding. I am sure everything will go smoothly:) Best of luck:)
MIC! I think these days most bride & groom’s end up planning their own B&D’s…. you’ll be fine, it’ll all turn out alright, everyone will have a blast and if you absolutely think you need a “day of co-ordinator, let me know… I’D LOVE TO! hahaha
