With all that is going on, it's no wonder you're asking yourself the age-old question-- "why didn't we elope?" Don't do anything rash, these feelings are completely normal, and trust me, you're not alone. The easiest way to keep from getting bogged down is to take a moment and admire your surroundings. No, I'm not crazy, but I've been there and know that the best medicine is sequestering yourself and remembering why you agreed to marry this person. Here are a few tips to making it over the hump into a blissful marriage.

If you can, start small. When wedding planning gets hectic—take a few moments to focus on something non-wedding related. Call your cousin and ask how the kids are, or meet your best friend for the dish on her dating dilemmas. Simply removing yourself from the tumult for even just five minutes can rejuvenate even the weariest brides-to-be. If this doesn't work, or there doesn't appear to be time for speed-therapy, declare the next day (or weekend) to doing the things you did before you were engaged. Catch a movie, set a lavish dinner date with the object of your affection, or just lounge around on the couch watching "Friends" reruns and eating popcorn alone or with a good friend. Whatever it takes, remind yourself of what you have to look forward to once the planning is kaput.

If you're still pulling your hair out, say sayonara to the spouse-to-be (for the night, that is), and call up your closest chicas (or chicos) to celebrate your sanity. Don't go crazy, but do the things you and your girls (or boys) love to do, like getting a mani-pedi or sipping sangria by the pool. Hopefully your maid of honor knows that her commitment until you say "I Do" is to lend an ear and offer helping hand when the time is right. During this time the most important thing for a bride to do is focus on the upcoming dramatic change, and recruit faithful attendants to which you can delegate, delegate, delegate. So, if after all of the advice previously mentioned is heeded and you're still a wreck, call up your MOH and alert her of her new revised responsibilities. In the end, the entire hubbub is about ensuring that you have the most beautiful and glorious day possible.
