1. going to your chatan's auf ruf without sleeping the night before
2. getting locked out of the house of the people you're supposed to be staying with - not because you don't have a key. you just don't know which house it is.
3. sleeping through said auf ruf. (this is partially due to the fact that we didn't get in to the house until about 1 am on shabbat, when someone finally showed us which house it was, so we couldn't set anything up - like an alarm clock or what not. also, we were in the basement, and the lack of sunlight/windows let us sleep in quite nicely. plus that fact that noone woke us up.)
3a. kicking people when they say "oh, look, there was a whole auf ruf, and you came for it, and slept through it. that's so funny".
4. storing 12 foot poles for the chupah in the car so there's no room for people to sit in the car
5. fighting with future mother-in-law over said chupah and its decoration (not upsetting because she disagreed - no, i was tired and grumpy and therefore capable of literally biting her, or anyone else’s, head right off. i held myself back)
6. after the exhaustion of the weekend, watching a creepy movie with toby at the apt. way to ensure i don't sleep well.
so, yes, children - the week before your wedding, things are busy. and you will be tired. be smart. don't do favors for people, don't be nicer to others than you are to yourself. if people wake you up at quarter to 2 in the morning, curse them out and hang up. if you can't get back to sleep, call them back to curse them out again. you'll feel better.
it also helps to grab an extra bag of candy and whomp it at your chatan's head when he's not looking.
