I have been super stressed today and did not eat right at all. I missed my lunch and tried to eat a salad from the store but it was awful so I had a piece of cheese then I got so stressed at dinner I couldn't eat my meat. I have to go eat some more protein in a little while. Tomorrow is my vow renewal at 11 am and I have had all sorts of problems crop up today. First my husband's boss who was supposed to make our cake for tomorrow bailed on us so my husband asked another friend at work to do it. When I saw it it was so disappointing I almost burst into tears. I was really appreciative his friend made a cake for us but it looked really awful so we rushed around at 5pm trying to find a replacement cake. We found one with some roses on it and Happy Birthday written on it so my husband is going to scrape that part off and we are going to put a bride and groom on it and serve that cake. It is only a single tier rectangular cake but it is better than the one we had. Then our balloon popped in the car coming home from the party store. We need the balloons to show people where to stop for the vow renewal. After that my friend told me that the woman who we were going to San Antonio had a death in her family so she would not be able to go with us and it would cost us each $203 more to make our trip. Then she told me she couldn't take pictures at the vow renewal because she had lost her camera. Oh and she told me a very obnoxious and totally wild 8 year old child is coming to the ceremony tomorrow too. This child is the daughter of my caterer and demands constant attention 24-7. I got home from the store and I was too stressed to eat all of my dinner and I didn't eat a decent lunch either. My friend did finally find her camera at least. I got my vows printed, got some cash to pay the caterer and my bouquet was gorgeous from the florist. It is multicolored and looks like wildflowers pinks, purples, yellows. I realized at the last minute that I forgot to get any makeup at the store so I had to run back out with my daughter but I think I have everything now. My husband was really sweet when I got too wound up to do my visualizations. He cuddled me a few minutes and gave me a backrub, told me not to stress myself then he wisely went to bed. I found our old wedding pictures to bring and now I guess I will try to eat and go to sleep is I can relax. Hope the rest of you had a better day than I did. Tomorrow just has to be way better than today was. Buddies please forgive me for not writing recently.

Andrea, no matter what happens tomorrow, remember it isn't about the ceremony, but about the commitment that you and your hubby are making to each other through the renewal of your vows. The cake, the balloons, the wild child, none of it matters! Wht matters is the fact that you and your hubby love each other and are willing to show it through the renewal of your marriage vows. At the end of the day, you will have recommitted yourselves to each other, and shown each other that you love each other enough to stay together through thick and thin, for all eternity! I hope that your day is beautiful, that the sun shines down on you, and that God shines His eternal love on you as you renew what is the most important covenant between a man and a woman. Congratulations!!

Bless your heart! Everything is going to be OK. Just keep telling yourself that. It will be, too. Don't worry. How many years have you been married? This is so sweet. Just concentrate on the love and hard work that brought you to this moment. Look into your husbands eyes, and cherish the moment! You'll be fine. The ceremony will be beautiful, and I, personally, will slap that little child if he/she doesn't behave. lol

You are stressing because you want everything to be perfect, the flowers, the cake - everything, but you know in your heart that you will have the most perfect thing standing right next to you - your husband!

Cuddles and a back rub. You lucky woman you. God bless you on this day. Everything will come out beautifully because you have each other. As for the child, at least you don't have to keep her.

Andrea, It broke my heart to read your posting. I hate that you went through all this. I do agree with what others have said in that you obviously have a wonderful husband and at least you have each other. God Bless hon. Marlene

I wish we lived closer to each other I'd give you a big hug and invite you and your hubby to come soak in our salt water hot tub! THAT will remove stress from anyone!
Good luck tomorrow I can't wait to read all about it!

Andrea: From tons of experience I have learned you need to smile and laugh at all of the wrong things that take place. Those things aren't important and you lessen the impact they create by laughing at them. No one but you cared how the cake looked. Someone will always take pictures. The main thing is how awesome it is that today you reaffirmed your wedding vows to a man who is caring enough to rub your back and reassure you. WOW! Secondly you had friends and family who came to share this fantastic event with you! God Bless! caroldiff

Gosh! :( I know the "try not to let it get to you" is cliché and never works. No matter what you tell yourself, it's going to bother you. Don't let it get the best of you (another cliché :) ), just take it one moment at a time. You have a great hubby for being there for you! Have fun and enjoy the time with your family and friends at your vow renewals!!
