Does life typically get really crazy before weddings?
Things are insane. We have 6 weeks left and the stress is off the charts. I uncharacteristically gained weight because of it so I need to go back to the gym that I love or I won't fit into my dress. But this is the last month:
- Lost engagement ring at gym - insurance claim is in and I am currently working with the jeweler to get the replacement.
- Fiancee's grandmother died last week and he is the trustee on the estate, having to now travel back and forth coast to coast. He is also dealing with nasty family he has to hide me from because they are racist. They are money grubbing and most likely shall contest the will and drag him through the courts.
- I am being evicted as the master tenant is shutting down the house and I have to be out at the end of the month. Now trying to find a place to live. We live separately and needed to continue to do so the first few months because of our jobs in two vastly different locations.
- Car was broken into last night and in a high crime city, the window is notoriously duct taped. They won't send someone out - earliest Tuesday. Stupid sick with worry that it will be stolen.
- Fiancee has been trying to buy a house and we started house shopping for when we eventually move in together this year (I told him to table this as it is too much).
- His landlord sent him a huge rent increase (illegally so really) yesterday. This made him want to get out and buy a home even more.
- We have family that are making the wedding planning difficult - upsetting my fiancee and so forth. People made promises they now don't want to keep.
- One of the bridesmaids talked to my fiancee on the phone, bad mouthing me, saying I treat him bad, saying he could do better and that there were "better fish in the sea." He said this was like "getting punched in the gut" as she was acting crazy and was just tearing me down to him. She is no longer a bridesmaid. She was saying really awful things. The other bridesmaids and he and I think she came to like him and was trying to steal him. Worse, she was my major wedding helper and was doing the most work and so I had to reassign everything to other much busier-in-life bridesmaids. She was my friend for five years and I lost a really great friend for so long - it was truly shocking to everyone.
It has been really awful - this past month. We have 6 weeks to go and are feeling so overwhelmed. We are at the end of our rope here - almost.
Thanks.
