Hive, as you probably already know, I currently live in upstate NY (not for long....) and the Elk wedding will be on Long Island, 6 hours away. For most of our engagement, this hasn't really been an issue with regards to planning. Since we knew we would have a fairly long engagement (1.5 years), we slowly booked our vendors on trips down to Long Island. When that wouldn't cut it, I had Mama and Papa Elk scout vendors for me. They even hired our photographers for us (and I still haven't met them yet!).
Once our major vendors were booked, there wasn't that much that needed to be done actually on Long Island. I got started on DIY projects, and figured we'd worry about the smaller details regarding our vendors when we actually got closer.
Well....its closer. A lot closer. And now, that 6 hour distance is starting to kill me. Hive, I feel so behind! I called our venue and bakery to set up tastings for our dinner and cake respectively. The only day we could do the tasting is 24 days before our wedding. When I made the appointments, and the vendors heard my wedding date, they asked me "May of THIS year?". I started to panic.
And the panic didn't stop there. My dress is on Long Island. I have my first fitting this week, and hopefully I can squeeze one in around our tasting, but if not, the only other time I will be on Long Island will be the week before the wedding! What if that isn't enough time to get my dress fitted perfectly?
And if that weren't enough to panic about, did I mention we have to move to Connecticut sometime between now and the wedding?
Are you a long distance bride? How has it affected your planning?
