Bride gene???

Girl I couldn't wait for the wedding to be over. I just wanted to be married.

Totally normal, at least in my (very limited) experience!

I have moments of excitedness and then moments of meh. I'm planning it from New Zealand, he is in the States so the distance is so hard right now. He is job hunting again, we are both in the midst of immigration work of me moving to the States to be with him and my parents are moving to Australia which is stressful in and of itself! Most of my family won't be at the wedding so I have moments of feeling like we should have eloped instead. My bridesmaid are in another part of the world too! I want it to be here and be over with. All I dream about is the moment I can say, ah yay it's finally all done!

Date twin! I'm constantly getting comments from anyone who know the wedding is so soon - either am I excited or am I stressed. And I'm neither. I'm looking forward to seeing my family and I know I'll have a great night, but I'm more excited about the honeymoon than the wedding!

Totally normal. I think the only time I answered I was excited was right after I had listened to the band rehearsal video for the wedding. Otherwise, I'm ready.

For me personally, I went and planned this big wedding for next June that everyone else wanted us to have and I never felt excitement once. I just cancelled it completely and we are now doing an elopement style wedding for next month and I couldn't be happier. I think if it's what you want you'll be excited. But that could be just me.

I'm the same. People keep asking if I'm excited. I'm like I got bigger this to focus on right now like closing on a house and a new job. I'm also not obsessed with my flowers or signage or Welcome bags. I'm more excited about spending three days with those nearest and dearest (so far 100 people) to our hearts have drinks poolside. That makes me excited.

I'm so glad I'm not alone and that this is.normal. Thank you ladies. I appreciate your honesty.

@Simone C. I think you are right. FH wanted the dinner and celebration. I told him I want a marriage not a wedding. We went back and forth for over 1 1/2 years before I finally agreed and then BAM! Here we are 4 months later about to get married with the dinner. We were at least able to keep the ceremony small so we compromised at least.

Thank you ladies, I really thought I was alone in this given all of the excitement I see in all of these posts.

I was excited to be married and to have all our friends and family in one room with us. I was more excited for it to be over with also lol and I still am so relieved all the planning is over!

Hi date twin! FH and I both can't wait until the wedding is over. I think I'm just wedding-ed out as mine is the 11th in three years. I'm just tired of weddings in general at this point. Lol.

In reality though, I was excited when I booked our photographer and mashed potato bar for the reception (priorities...I know). Other than that, I've just been meh about everything. Wasn't excited for dress shopping either.

I am looking forward to my wedding day but I am also looking forward to it being over and being adjusted to married life.

I am really excited for the wedding, but I think that's only because I know that it will be the first day of the rest of our lives as a married couple (sorry I know that sounds like a cliche ad or something, but it's true). But once you boil down the whole wedding to individual aspects, I don't really care for it and am almost indifferent. Like the flowers, the dress, the hairstyle I'm doing, the girls' dresses, etc... I almost couldn't care but I'm super excited for the actual day..if that makes sense.

Ditto what EM said. I just wanted that wedding to be over! Mine was mostly due to anxiety, but still. I think it's pretty normal.

I feel the same way...ive been so exhausted from work and the kids.. there havent been too much excitement...its more like stress and worrying..what to do?? And what everthing is going to look like. Engagement party today. And i cant wait to get it over..

@baseball bride17 I am not the shopper either so wedding dress shopping was not exciting at all. I'm my mother's only daughter so I did it for her, I wanted her to at least have that experience.

@ Carol H. It makes complete sense.

@Kayann W. See that's the thing, I'm not nervous, worried or anything. I'm just like, okay a dinner to celebrate our love. Our dinner is not a reception. There will be no dancing, no introductions just all of us seeing each other.

Same here. There's so much going on in life that the wedding has become another checklist to take care of. I am excited to be getting married, but I do wish we had eloped instead and saved all that money.

Everyone: Are you excited?! Me: Excited for it to be over...

I was excited now I just find it to be stressful. We are having it near his hometown so his grandmother can be there, but about a month and a half ago my grandmother got sick and I don't think she will be able to make it and its heartbreaking. Plus I have so much stuff left to do to get ready

I'm 2 weeks from my wedding and I'm over it. Everyone says I'm get more excited when the day gets closer, I feel like the complete opposite is happening, then again I'm planning almost everything. I think the easier the planning is, the more excited you can be

We had a shorter (7 month) engagement, and in the middle of it we moved to a new apartment plus by boss quit in July. So people ask if I'm excited or nervous and it's like ..... I actually haven't had much time to even think about it. I've had too much going on with planning and work and other family/friend stuff. In some ways it still hasn't hit me that we are doing this. (We were together 5 years before we got engaged, so this should not be taken as am indication that we don't know what we are doing!)

Thank you for all of your stories. I really thought something was wrong with me. Even though our wedding is next week, I am on my couch doing work for my job. It's like anything that has to do with the wedding can wait. I was starting to feel bad but reading this I feel so much better.
