Am I the only one with wedding burnout?

I'm feeling so over this. I've got two months to go, I've got pretty much everything taken care of at this point with a few random to-do's left on my list. I'm at a point where I can start to relax a little, but I'm feeling my excitement wane. It all just feels so silly, me at 30 in this big white...

I'm feeling so over this. I've got two months to go, I've got pretty much everything taken care of at this point with a few random to-do's left on my list. I'm at a point where I can start to relax a little, but I'm feeling my excitement wane. It all just feels so silly, me at 30 in this big white dress, and this huge party. I just want to be married to my FH. That's all. And I can't wait for the honeymoon.

I think a big part of it is being just exhausted by my FH's family recently. There is a lot more drama in his family than I am used to, coming from my very stable and close-knit family. This weekend was very rough, and I'm still feeling completely drained by it all. I'm tired of babysitting his mom when she gets drunk, and I'm tired of her telling me constantly what I have to do - when I have to have kids, how many, what they have to be named (after my FH or after HER of course), that I HAVE to change my last name, how I have to be a good religious girl. I'm just tired.

    I have over a year left and I'm burnt out. I've planned most of it except some small details but I'm over the wedding. I'm ready for it to be over.

    I feel kind of bad because the whole wedding was planned while I was at work! (NOT)

    @Julybride we have to pay our final balance to the venue (inc catering) 6 weeks in advance. We're meeting with them on the 24th to get this sorted. Apart from FH's suit and a few small bits (and the honeymoon due 2 weeks later which I'm trying not to think about) this will at least mean everything is paid as we've settled up with the photographer, DJ and baker already.

    Yea...

    I'm most certainly burnt out. The most I talk about the wedding or wedding related things is when I'm on WW. Other than that I'm pretty much like....IDGAF!

    Date twin, I am with you! If I could jump up and give you a high five for this post I would. I am burnt out and stressed out. I guess it is because I am doing it all. I wish I had a team to help me, my bridal party is very, very slothful, My FH and I are covering the expenses but he has NEVER attended a formal wedding only a few receptions. He can't seem to understand my stress. Everything to him is super expensive and pretty much falls on I think we, meaning me, could do that ourselves. Which is great when he is not travelling on his job half of the month. My mother is super supportive and has been a great comfort but I am tired of planning and want this PROJECT to be over. I am well aware of the difference between burnt out and stressed out and I am both. 60 more days and counting!!! I can see the tunnel. Hopefully, our excitement will kick in again.
