How soon is your wedding and how are you feeling about it ?

[blissfulbride]

Our wedding is 3 months away, and the best way I can explain what im feeling is like reading a great book that you just don''t want to end. So you hold on to each page, and keep looking at the back of the book, because one its over it''s over.

What will you do with yourself after your married and plans do you have that will keep you just as busy ?

I also have 3 months to go... most of the time I feel the same way you do, but sometimes I can''t wait till its over because A) it''ll mean it''s time to start looking for a house and making a family

. I am so sick of apartment living, and we both want a child so badly. And B) It''s nerve-wracking thinking about ALL our family together at the reception... half of my family doesn''t speak to each other, same with his... so it''ll be interesting to see how the reception pans out. I am super-excited, none-the-less, and will DEFINITLY NOT let that kinda stuff spoil my day.

I am sure house-hunting and baby making will keep us plenty busy after the wedding

Our wedding is just under 12 weeks away and in a moment of madness we decided it would be a good idea to have some work done on our house in the meantime too (new kitchen in about three weeks!) My overwhelming feeling at the moment is that I will be very relieved to get back to normality when it is all over. Right now I am stressing about lots of things including my wedding ring (see other post) and the fact that I will look like a hippo in a dress. I am looking forward to peace and quiet. There is no possibility of children for us and we have a house so we will be done hopefully

 

[musey]

I felt that way for the first half of the engagement, but once we were about 6 months out I just wanted the wedding day to come! Not for it to "just be over," but I was anxious for the day itself.

I didn''t need to make plans to "keep myself busy" after the wedding

I just went back to real life. That''s plenty busy for me!

haha. If that''s your analogy, here''s mine:

I''m about halfway through the book, and I find it so endless, I just want to read the last page, find out how it all goes, and be done with the darn book already.

Seriously. So over wedding planning. ready to be married.

Ditto Angielea!! I have 8 months or so and I''m really just ready for it to be here. I''m excited for the wedding itself, but the planning one of my favorite things in the world.

I have just over five months to go and I cannot wait for the day. I don''t want it to be over but I''m just so excited to be marrying D and to having everyone we want in one room for a party-so excited! I''m in college so will have no problems keeping myself busy afterwards!

 

[Diva0413]

My big day is about 8 months away. I''m very excited and can''t wait (wish I could push the date up actually)... But I''m sad right now because I bridesmaid just backed out...

 

[Livinthedream]

Our wedding is just under 4 months away (HOLY! that was fast!) and I get more excited every day! My entire calendar is packed, but it''s all worth the work. I keep reminding my fiance when I ask for another night to schedule something, that in 4 months it will all be done and we''ll be on the beach... and MARRIED!! A co-worker of mine gets married in 2 months. After hers is over, we are next- I might get a little crazed then! haha
Afterward I think I''ll do some work on the house. We''ll be needing more cabinets and things.

 

[newbie124]

Our wedding will be exactly 3 months away as of Saturday (YIKES).

Since we "turned the bend" so to speak on Jan 1, I''ve been feeling excited, nervous and um, kind of STRESSED over all the stuff that needs to be done!

I think I will start feeling a little better once we''re done making the invitations and have sent those off since that''s the big project looming in front of me right now.

At the beginning of the planning process and right before we got engaged I seriously thought I''d be so sad after the wedding is over w/ no more fun wedding stuff to occupy myself with, but then I hit a point about a couple months ago when I was just SICK of wedding stuff and couldn''t even bring myself to flip through a magazine without feeling annoyed and uninterested.

Now I''m getting a little more excited about it again, but I think that initial wedding spark has faded and now I just want to get to the day and enjoy it then be glad that it''s over!

 

[allycat0303]

Well I am 6 months away, and I am REALLY glad. Right now it''s a bit at the back of my mind because I have a lot of other things to think about, and I am pretty tired. However, I delegated a lot of things this weekend, so stuff really got done within the last 2 days.

Got invitations.
Booked decorations.
Booked florist
Got bridesmaid dresses
Got mother of the bride dresses
Got the wedding favors.

Yup. All that in since Monday (and I was working), so I think`we''ve made up for a lot of lost time. But if it were any closer then 6 months I would be so stressed.

It was helpful that I took the time to make that collage on bridal canvas. Once I was clear what I wanted, things are going really fast. No need to think about what to buy or look at different places.

 

[marchswallowbird]

Ditto Angeliea and Elrohwen. I have a long engagement -- 18 months. TOO long.

After the wedding, I will go back to being productive at work! LOL. I spend half my day surfing the net and sending wedding-related emails.

 

[LauraBabe08]

exactly 60 days today! I have so many little details to work out still, but its fun stuff and thankfully my mom is helping me big time!!

 

[Aloros]

I''m six months out from my wedding and "GAH!" describes my feelings right now pretty well. So much to do, so little time! I still have to pin down a caterer, design invitations, finalize the guest list, find shoes, figure out rentals...yadda yadda.

I''m looking forward to being married and going on our honeymoon. FI and I joke that we really did things backwards. We have the kid (full legal and physical custody of his son), the house, the puppy we wanted, and NOW it is time to get married.

 

[Blair138]

6 months exactly from this past Sunday...and I am feeling calm, but I had a small freak out that I have NOTHING DONE! (I really do, I just overly freak out). I am SO EXCITED to just get done with school (I''m a teacher) and for it to be summer because then I will feel like it''s really happening! I want these next 5 months to go fast, but I want the last month to go by slowly so I can enjoy every last moment

 

[katamari]

We are about 8 months out, but are still venue/date shopping. Right now I am just starting to get everything together and whatnot, but I am very excited. I find that I have been bit far harder than I ever thought by the bridal bug.

 

[lauralu]

I can''t wait to be Mrs. ****** on paper.......and Legal. I can''t wait for the day this will happen and look forward to it with so much excitement. Than I look forward to our honeymoon and after, settling into our lives together as husband and wife. if that keeps me busy or not i don''t really care nor do I give it any thought.

 

[Sparkalicious]

8 months and I can''t believe it! I still feel like it''s "a year" away but it''s not!!!! I''m really enjoying the wedding planning process and I have no idea what I''m going to do with all my free time afterwards ..... More PS time?

I can relate to your thoughts about it being like a good book ... It''s been a very special time in my life and I don''t want it to end yet I can''t wait to be married. I guess it''s safe to say that I''m full of conflicting emotions!

I can only imagine how excited you are getting with it only being 3 mos out ... Squee!!

 

[galvana]

My wedding is 6 months away, Im getting excited for it to come but also very stressed with what is left to do and PAY FOR.
Fiance and I have been saving for a yr now and I honestly will be so glad once the day comes and we go on the honeymoon.
And then once we return, we will be Mr. and Mrs and we will have money again! LOL

I can''t wait to be married and I just want it to be here now........

Im not at all worried about what i will do once its over. There is always plenty to do!

 

[cammy85]

My wedding is EXACTLY two months from today!!!

I am just so excited. The planning process has been fun, we have been DIY-ing a lot of the wedding things (invitation, STDs, veil, garter, escort cards, favors, etc). And while I still have quite a bit on the to-do list, I am just thoroughly enjoying being able to put an ''us'' stamp on the wedding.

I am just so ready to be a Mrs.

I have a feeling it will be here sooner than I know it, so I am just trying to enjoy the ride right now!

 

[meresal]

My wedding is 6 months a 10 days away, and I am extatic!!! Other than the couple of days of hectic stress, I'm holding up pretty well.

ETA: We are debating pushing the "real" honeymoon back about 6 months in order to put a downpayment on a house!!! I think it would be idiotic for us to pass up this housing opportunity. We're probably going to head to Vegas or DisneyWorld for a few days and live it up in style, and then hopefully come back to a new home!!!

 

[emilina22]

our wedding is in exactly 5 months and yesterday i realized thats only 20 more sundays until we get married and thats CRAZY exiting!! ive got all sorts of butterflies fluttering inside and i just cant wait to start this new chapter in our life together...

 

[Italiahaircolor]

Being married is far better than being engaged...you''ll probably have the wedding bell blues, which means you''ll feel the void that planning has left...but you''ll get over it and on with life.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

We have 5.5 months to go and I''m feeling pretty good about things. We still need to book our officiant, but other than that things have been booked and we''re just taking care of the details like paying for stuff!

 

[KatyWI]

We have almost 8 months to go, and I just want it to be here already!!

I'm just shocked at how easily and with little stress that everything is coming together! I have a reception venue, am making a decision on the ceremony venue, I have my dress, the band, the photographer, met with a florist today that we will probably use, have plans to shop for BM dresses in a few weeks, and know where we're getting the tuxes, although we won't choose them until we have the BM dresses!

So the only big stuff I have left is to find an officiant, decide on the ceremony venue, and pick a cake! We also have to find rings and book a honeymoon, but we've got a little time there

ETA: To remind myself later, we also need invitations and to figure out hair/makeup stuff - but I know a girl who has an invitation business, and one of my BMs knows a girl very well who owns the salon that I go to, so hopefully I'll get a good deal on both of those things!!

 

[brandy_z28]

Yikes!...8 weeks and 2 days until our wedding.

-Tomorrow I have my first dress fitting.
-don''t know if I''ll be wearing a veil or tiara or not...my daughter (mini bride*zilla*) has one but I don''t...
-need to decide on a cake
-need to decide how I''m doing my hair.
-need to pick out and buy my fiancee''s ring.
-have yet to book our flights, rental car, or hotel.
-We just decided last weekend to rent the tuxes instead of buy them, we need to get my son and fiancee measured for them this weekend and get that squared away.
-Invitations still need to be finalized, addressed, and assembled...

These next couple of weeks can go by slowly as far as I''m concerned! I want to know what happened to the past 2 months?!

I kept putting things off until after Thanksgiving, and then until after Christmas and then until after the New Year...

I was waiting on Christmas and damn it''s done come and gone!

 

[SparklyLibra]

There are 31 days until my wedding and I feel like I am losing my mind

I''m excited, somewhat nervous, elated, and in constant anticipation. I just really look forward to being his Mrs!!!

I too wonder what I''ll do with myself once it''s all over

My fiance says then my new obsession will be babies

Anyway. In a nutshell I''M SUPER EXCITED!!!

Once the wedding is over fiance and I will be working on some career changes and that will occupy our time for the next few months.

~SL.

 

[wishful]

We are almost at the 2 month mark! Yikes!!!!!! Where did the time go????
Feeling good though. I have most of the "big stuff" taken care of.
Still have to get the flights booked.

And get FI to figure out what he is going to wear (Beach wedding in Belize).
And find the perfect color of blue to dye my shoes. I am secretly coveting Ladyciel''s blue shoes....but who knows what color blue that is.

 

[CNOS128]

I have a little over 4 months to go, and I''m very much looking forward to it being over! I''m excited for the wedding day, but the planning and anticipation is too much for me to handle!
I''m not worried about finding things to keep me busy; I''m in law school.

I kind of already feel married, so I''m hoping that there''s still some sort of intangible shift that we both feel after the ceremony itself. I don''t expect our lives to change that much, but I do hope to feel a small difference! Our engagement coincided with our cohabitation, so that was a big change. But now I sometimes forget that I''m not actually married yet.

I just noticed that the icon for this topic is a frowny face - how sad!
