    Posted: 13 September 2007 at 7:39am

Many of you know it already, but I've been engaged since January, and I'm 9 days away from getting married.

I don't have any second thoughts, but man, is planning and paying for a wedding the most stressful thing I've EVER done.

Anyone here whose married can probably tell you the same thing, but I was awake this morning at 5:30 freaking about last minute items, plans, and expenses....I'm telling you, Its killing me.

Couple this with an intensive 2 month training course for NYS firefighting certification, a full time job, and other every day concerns....I'm actually going grey.

Don't know why I chose to voice these issues here, but what the hell, I've posted less interesting stuff here before.

Carry on.

It really can be incredibly stressful, but it's very much worth it in the end. You get to get married, and then hopefully you get a hell of a party, which you probably don't have to clean up.

I absolutely went nuts with our wedding planning, but I've never been to a better party than my reception, and 200 guests agreed. It's still the standard by which other receptions are judged in our social circle.

Edit: Oh, and don't forget the saying "No strategy survives first contact with the enemy." It applies to weddings too. Just roll with it and you'll get through it.

Reif is right... Something WILL go wrong on the big day, guaranteed.  I'm sure you'll roll with the punches, but be sure to prepare the wife-to-be for this eventuality...

Good luck sir.

Thanks guys.

I'm pretty well set for something to happen, the biggest concern I have is actually with a family member that noone cares for.

I've got a seething hatred for this man, but since he's family I can't not have him come. He'll probably get drunk and offend everyone in the room, which might be fun, since I've got two NYC cops, and three military family members who might be willing to bring him out to the parking lot for me should he start trouble. Aside from him, I'm worried about stupid crap, like breaking my leg on the first dance, having my fly down at the alter, having the photographer or the DJ have a heart attack during the reception, of my fiancee coming to her senses and realizing that she's making the biggest mistake of her life.

Congrats on getting married, and good luck with the stress. Be sure to let loose and just have a good time at the wedding/reception.

Yeah, wait to mention it until just before she drifts off to sleep later on.

she's been on here before, and I think she ghosts now and then just to make sure I don't tell any embarrasing stories about her to you guys. She'll probably find your 'hello' before I get a chance to tell her.

Don't get bugged out about it, it is their day, really.  They will remember every little detail, glory in it, prod you if you remember (you do remember, never forget that!) so work on making it a great day for her, and both your parents and close guests and it will end up being a great day for you too - congratulations.

You know, the thought never crossed my mind.  

We had a photographer lined up almost right away, the brother-in-law of one of my groomsmen is a professional photographer.

You could have had two photographers than, which is better.
