Getting Married in 20 days; it doesn't seem real

Yup, I'm getting married in 20 days (tomorrow we'll be in the 10s!) and I still don't really believe that it's happening. I'm not sure when it is going to sink in - probably not until afterwards. I also can't believe I'm already this close but I'm starting to get really excited.

I'm at 20 days too.

We were pretty stressed, so the whole time the wedding seemed real, but we were almost scared to enjoy it coming because we knew that we owed half of our budget still to catering..

But we handled all of that today, so now we're both all happy and smiley as far as the wedding goes, and very very excited!

I totally feel you, I've been so busy and stressed that it almost feels like some faraway thing that's happening for someone else I think it'll start feeling real when I'm off work the monday before the wedding and I have time to relax and breathe~!

Thanks for all the responses!

I got married 9 days ago. it gets real a day or two before. It gets very real when you are getting dressed. This is normal. I am 41, NH just turned 38 five days ago. We are far from rich too.... It will work out somehow. Big hugs.

Thank you all - the comments have been very helpful! It is starting to feel more real, but like you said, I think it will seem alot more real when we are in the last days before - rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, getting dressed, and of course standing waiting to walk down the aisle. I know my Dad, especially, is gonna cry and then that be it - all will break loose. He saw me try on my gown and almost started to cry then Thanks for the support n hugs too!

I think I'm at that point too, I am 32 days away. I am 28 but at times I feel like it is FINALLY all happening, this is the first day of the rest of our lives.

I am at 38 and it does not seem real at all. I feel like I have a ton to do, but its like I cannot get all my thoughts together to do it haha..

I'm 24 days away and I feel somewhat like you. Stressed, exhausted, excited just too many feelings at once. But don't let anything ruin your day...

17 days...I can't believe this!! =) I can't wait to put it all together, & enjoy the day with my best friend!

I got married last Sat and it still doesnt seem like i'm married lol..Now we just have to get Thank you cards..

11 days... Yikes. I know what you mean about a lot on your plate. Bought a new house and arrived to it trashed when we were going to move in. Spent the last 4 days cleaning and painting. Have to get 3 weeks of homework done in less than two. Still ha e to paint the last tier on my cupcake tower. Labor day weekend is the last weekend I have to get everything. Done. Lol

I'm at 95 days and I feel a strange "calm before the storm". Like I'm numb to it all.... I'm basically at the 3 months mark with bridal shower, bachelorette party etc starting to happen soon.... I get butterflies in my stomach but it doesnt seem real at all!!!

24 days and kind of numb to it...I think with all my regular life stress I'm decompartmentalizing the wedding stress right now. My wedding nightmares have started though and its causing me to not sleep well at all boo!!
