Stress is setting in

Well, aside from parents in general I guess things are going OK. My favors came and they're alright. I handed out the invites to my co-workers with little ado (thankfully). I've got a few RSVPs so far, but it's only been a week or two and there's another 3 weeks 'til the deadline.
I really just wish it was all over, yep, I'm not the wedding type. I think I'll start counting down the days until the wedding is over, rather than 'til the wedding.
My MOH has picked dates for the shower and the bachelorette party... but that's it... well, she has an extensive menu for the shower (she's really into cooking, she saw her planing the shower as an opportunity for her to cater the shower.) But I don't think she's working on invites yet and the shower is less than a month away. Sigh, that's her problem I guess.
M's parents had a lot of basement flooding in the last week from the enormous amounts of rain we've seen. We helped them out and visited for a while. They didn't say anything about the wedding while we were there, but later on Sunday M's mom called him asking about a timeline or something for the rehersal/rehersal dinner. Funny thing here is that I sent them info on three different ideas for the rehersal dinner and asked for their feedback, since they haven't given me any yet, I haven't moved forward on it. They said they couldn't find the e-mail, so I resent it. The response wasn't "well, we like this but not that." It was "if you get off work at 5:30 it's too late. Old people are coming. We need a schedule." Sigh. M agreed it was an odd response and said he'd call his dad and see if he could get something a little more helpful... M and I had a disagreement re:his mom and her feelings towards me, he says I'm making it up that she's not a big fan of me (ie I read too much in people), but I say he can't read people very well. Who the frick knows. I like the woman, she's nice and a good person and all that. I just can't shake the cold feelings she seems to give off when I'm around. Hopefully M's right and I'm making it all up.
My own mom made some comment about "well, you're not following tradition any way." (In her attempt to get me to do something she wanted but I said wasn't right (it's not even wedding tradition related, she wanted the groomsmen to wear red sashes with their pirate costumes and I told her I thought just the captian wore the red sash.) Well mom, if you had wanted this to be a traditional wedding you would have needed to a)said so MUCH sooner and b)given us A LOT more money. Sorry.
My stress level goes up daily, I can feel it... I'm not sleeping well... I realized I should probably start on a ceremony and that makes me more stressed because I haven't yet.
Wake me up when August ends.
