I can't believe our wedding is a little less than a year away. I've been planning this wedding since last August and we will be getting married next August. I'm excited but nervous to finally be 350 days away. When we got engaged last year and planned to get married 2 years out it felt like it was going by forever. And people kept questioning why I was already starting to plan things so early out. And thank Goodness I didn't listen to them and I went ahead and started to book when I did because I found out from other brides who started planning a year out that because of covid everything was booking up faster than normal. I also learned through this planning process that my closest family and friends didn't really want to hear about the wedding as much as I wanted to talk about it. And that people weren't going to be as excited as you think. I get what people say when they say they don't understand why people who are getting married kind of expect people in their circle to be excited about their wedding and want to talk about it all the time. Because as a guest it is just another day, and you really don't want to listen to someone talk about their wedding plans everyday. But I also get why some people hope the people in their circle would be excited about their wedding. As a girl who has had some really horrible boyfriends in the past and always thought that I would never find the right guy, id never settle down and have a family, it is very exciting to be getting married next year to the man of my dreams. So I also get people being excited and wanting others to be as excited for them. And wanting to talk about it all the time. However now I don't ever talk about my wedding to my friends or family unless someone brings it up and I don't even go into detail with them, I normally just give pretty short responses and then switch the subject.
