How do I STOP planning the wedding?
Most of my wedding planning is done. There’s not much left really, except the minor things that will get wrapped up right before… but I feel like there is so much left to do and keep getting the urge to add more, and more! I try to remind myself that we are on a budget and what we got already is fine… but then why do I want to add, for instance, photos/or/drawings of us around the venue? I am stuck in bridal over-planning mode! How do I STOP organizing and planning and take a step back? Is this just feeling that will linger until the final days where I can actually SEE things come together?

How do you acknowledge other special occasions that fall around your wedding day?
My wedding is on my mom’s birthday. I struggled with how to acknowledge her birthday and make her feel special (as she should!) on a day that was supposed to be all about me and my man.
