Hi all,

Thank you very much for the advice Emma, i know i must just go.
Yes hopefully it will only be just once, right now i am just hoping that i will get to the alter - i have been a real B*tch to him lately and am surprised he has actually stayed with me this long.

@Candy: i got married last September & my DH also hasn't been to church with me. I only recently started going to church again...

Sometimes, when u feel overwhelmed or frustrated, it really helps to have a "greater spiritual belief/power" -whatever that may be, that you can turn to. it tends to give you hope, peace & a feeling that everything will be ok. It also tends to give you PERSPECTIVE and allows you to look at the bigger picture and not focus so much on the problem. I know it sounds airy fairy & trust me, I am no sunday school teacher or church-server and my attendance record at church is SHAMEFUL but it has helped me to turn back to God...and maybe it can help you too.

Just remember "HE KNOWS THE PLANS HE HAS FOR YOU"...

& I recently saw some of what they call "prayer affirmations" and one that stuck in my mind was "I give thanks for the blessing in the problem, and the problem becomes a blessing..."

Good luck. I know how stressful wedding planning can be but remember that you will (hopefully0 only get married once and from time to time, you need to release the stress and ENJOY planning your wedding to the man you love. It is a joyous and beautiful thing.

Thank you Hapi, i will definitely come join the thread for our due date mommies there.

Ah Thank you Julz, yip my life never seems to quite be normal these days.

You have a lovely little one, i cant wait for mine, but still a while to go for me

Ah thank you very much, so far the ladies on here have been so super friendly,,,,,,, i really wish i found this site earlier. My friend actually sent me this link.

I had my dress made, and luckily it is a tie back (at the back). But what make my wedding stresses even more stressful for me is that i am havving it in Durban, YIP so silly now that i think of it, i had to fly down to Durban two weeks ago and see the venue, and do all my trials - well the venue which was a complete disaster, and had to change it to another venue, then the new venue had already another wedding on my day, so i had to change the wedding date to the next day (Sunday) and to top it off all my invitations went out already.

Hi, i am Christian and yes i totally agree with you that going to church will help my situation, not being funny but i sometimes feel the devil follows me around. My fiance and i have not been to church together, but before him i did go every once in a while and i did enjoy the sermons a lot.
