Wedding stress! Need to vent....

I am soooo stressed!!!! We are just too poor to be putting on this wedding! I wanted to elope, but NOOOOO! We are having a backyard BBQ for our family and friends of 80 people. Thought this would be fun and cheap, but it's not. I am so afraid of not having any money for our trip. We have to buy beer still, pay for our tent, flowers and porta potty. I am just going to be ill. Got a loan of $1,000 and it gone! Thank goodness for family! They are making and buying the food, otherwise we would be eating bologna and crackers, lol!

Thanks everyone for lending an ear! Found out today we will not need to buy kegs, we put BYOB on the invites. I so forgot, WHEW! As for flowers, all I am getting is one centerpiece, two corsages for the moms, a bouquet and hairpiece for me. I did all my own arrangements with silk flowers, so no worries there. I always worry and stress, but I am doing better. Just so pumped to be Mrs. Thornton!

Heather, weddings are always stressful, whether or not the reason is money. It sounds like you've gotten everything under control, though so that's good. The day of the wedding, you won't even be thinking about the worries that you had. You're just going to have the best time of your life! I remember being so stressed before my wedding, but when the day came, I was just so happy to be marrying the man of my dreams, that all the worries went away. They will for you, too. Enjoy your day, you deserve it. And have a great time in Mexico!
