Just got engaged... Why am I so emotional?!

I just got engaged a couple of weeks ago. There's no doubt in my mind that it's what I've always wanted, and it's with the guy I want to spend the rest of my life with. I couldn't imagine anyone else in his place, he was my best friend first, my boyfriend second, but the love of my life always. So my question is, why the heck am I so emotional? The emotions just hit today. I'm not sure if it's hormones (my period just ended two days ago), or subconscious engagement anxiety, or what...all I know is that I watch My Fair Wedding every single day, but today I actually cried during the bridal gown fitting! On top of that, I've cried twice to my fiance just today because he's been stressed with the upcoming wedding and trying to get a raise at work, etc., etc. Did this happen to anyone else? Is it normal?

    Eh. I'm not a crier. Some do, though.

    Its stressful right in the beginning, take a few days on non-wedding planning and go on a date night to re-visit how special the engagement was. I had a few mini melt downs in the first 3 weeks of planning, but once that was over its been smooth sailing. Good luck, and take a few deep breaths! Smiley smile

    In the beginning I did get teary eyed whenever I watched SYTTD. It didn't last too long.

    I thinks it's because you see everything a little different now. When you watch those bridal shows you are in planning mode now, everything will be just a little different than it was before, but like everyone else has said it probably wont last too long.

    I cried at all sorts of wedding shows. I just couldn't believe I was going to get to do those things. It does get better but their are still moments I am overwhelmed with joy and tear up.

    Yayyy!!! I'm not totally losing my mind then. Haha Smiley smile I usually don't cry much either! That's why I was so surprised when I began tearing up. My poor fiance! I do really love the date night idea though...we've been so consumed in the hype of everything that we haven't really taken any time to ourselves! Thanks so much for the reassurance everybody! Smiley smile Also, congratulations to everyone as well. Smiley smile Hopefully this will pass!

    I cried because committing to a love means committing to losing him if he dies before me.

    I started planning 80 days out so most of my (our) stress came from that so I was able to hide the super emotional part in that. But I will admit that that night I sat on the kitchen floor and cried "I have 80 days until we get married and don't have a wedding dress!"

    Congratulations! It sounds like you may need a break. It is nice to just spend time with your FH doing things other than wedding stuff and just enjoy the engagement. Don't worry about planning too much too soon! Smiley smile

    Our tentative date isn't even until December of next year. That's one of the reasons I was so surprised to get so overwhelmed! However, I was one of those little girls, like most, who has been planning her wedding since she was old enough to put a paper towel on her head. haha Smiley smile So you're definitely right FutureMrsL, I just need to take a step back. I only get this time once! Smiley smile Congratulations to you as well! Smiley smile

    I think it's normal. You're committing to spend your life with your best friend and that's a big deal that deserves some emotion! Congrats on your engagement!!!
