10 DAYS LEFT!!! And I'm not excited at all? What's wrong with me??

Anonymous, on June 7, 2011 at 10:42 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 19

I'm getting married next Friday, and I am not excited at all. People keep asking me if I'm excited, and I say no. It's nothing about the actual wedding/marriage that is wrong. I feel like we've been married. We have had a house together for almost 2 years, so nothing is going to change. I wish I could get more excited about it. I feel really bad feeling this way. I feel like the wedding is for everyone elses sake. If it were up to me I would have went away just me and him. Any suggestions, is anyone else feeling this way? I'm a happy person too.

    Maybe you will start to get excited closer to the day.. I know that I am excited for my wedding but its a year away. I know the FH will not be excited til the day of thats just how he is...

    I wanted to get married outside, it was my dream. After it was agreed that we would get married at FMILS house. She changed her mind. So maybe that is why I'm not excited, beacause its not what I wanted or envisioned. I'm getting married inside on a dance floor.

    Well just don't let your disappointments ruin your day. Some things aren't always about a feeling, but more about sharing yet another moment together. Take it for what it is and just know that you are sharing your marriage with family and friends. You can always plan for a anniversary celebration and do a full wedding later down the line. Don't entertain the negative thoughts but pick out what can make this a happy moment and focus on those. Look at it as one big party Smiley smile

    I think once you get closer you will be more excited. I know its hard to get excited about things when they arent what you imagined.

    I am excited about the actual party rather than the being married cause I agree with you I already feel like we are married. but im excited to get dolled up and see everyone.

    We tried talking to her awhile ago but our wedding is in 10 days. It was a huge fight. She didn't "feel like dealing with it" is what she said. It was too much stress for her. I don't really like attention, I feel awkward, so that's another part I'm worried about. I am excited to change my name though.

    I think it's probably that you've gone through a lot of stress with planning. I bet that when the day comes, you'll be ecstatic Smiley smile

    You're probably just numb and overwhelmed from all the hard work. I didn't start getting really excited until a few days beforehand, when people started arriving in town and I had my final fitting.

    Amber, I was just going day by day and I was really calm, not even excited. It didn't really hit me until I was walking up the stairs of the church and I heard the Bridal March....

    11 days, not excited so much as extremely freakin' nervous. I think it's probably normal.

    Nothing wrong ... my best friend wasn't very excited until the morning of her wedding ... all her stress and hardwork put into this wedding, I think she was just numb ... I know I'm not to terribly excited for my wedding either and like you it's not the doubts our marriage will last, it's just so overwhelming and honestly the past 3 months have been a whirlwind for me ... I'm stepping back a bit for now and just focusing on what comes after the wedding ...

    I had a period of time where I just wasn't in wedding mode, and I think I might be like that around that time too. We are moving in together a couple months before hand, so that will be the same before and after the wedding. It's weird but I also feel like I will be a little sad to have it all end, just because I've put so much time and effort into crafting and decorating. If nothing else, be excited that you will be able to call him your husband!!

    I am getting married THIS FRIDAY and I am not excited either. I thik I am feeling this way because I so concerned about how other people will view my wedding. I just everything to be perfect. We will not any money left over for a honeymoon either. I am just stressed because I did all of the decor and food MYSELF. When I walk into that church, nothing else will matter, not the food, the decor, or anything else.

    I'm getting married in 18 days & everybody ask if im excited or nervous. I too say no. I think it will hit me when the day is here. There still things you need to do which probably more on your mind right now. I agree with KIM C. i'm also stress & I will not have money for a honeymoon either but you still can go out to a hotel on the beach for your honeymoon for right now...

    I just wanted to say that you shouldn't let living together already ruin any excitement you should have about getting married. Living together is a simple decision compared to getting MARRIED, committing to each other on paper (and if you're religious, before God). You can be "practically" married, treat each other that way, but you AREN'T a married couple. It's so much easier to leave a relationship if you aren't married. This is a serious commitment!!! It's a Big Deal to show everyone that you love your FH and want to spend the rest of your life with him. I hope that can put things in perspective for you. Don't let the disappointments ruin your day!!

    Well maybe you are just burnt out from all the planning and festivities but once it gets closer to the day, then the rehearsal dinner and of course the day of getting your hair done and getting dressed you will feel those butterflies and excitement, Best Wishes and enjoy your day

    I say, make the best of what you end up with. One thing my mom always says "You can spend all the money in the world to make a great party..people will still judge. So rather spend a little money and still get the same results" Dont care what others thing, only worry about you and FH having a blast!!!

    I felt the same way for practically the same reasons.

    Except rain moved us indoors.

    It gets better.
