Not excited... 2 weeks to go

Kristin, on May 2, 2018 at 11:50 AM Posted in Planning 0 22
We are down to 17 days and I feel like I'm just wanting it all to be over with. It seems like all we are doing is little logistical things like who needs to be where and when and a thousand silly little details. I find it so annoying. Does it get any better and will I even get excited again for the day?

    I'm still a ways out, so I'm just speaking for others here, but....

    I've heard the tiny logistics are the most stressful part, and by your point in wedding planning, most brides are COMPLETELY over it!

    But I think in the couple of days leading up to the wedding, the excitement returns as things fall into place and you realize you're about to marry your best friend!

    Just push through these last few days, and I'm sure the excitement will return!

    I'm sure getting closer to the date and worrying about the little things is stressful, but push through and it will al be worth it in the end!!

    I'm with you. I have 16 days left and all I can think about is the thousand small things I could be doing if I was at home instead of at work. I'm hoping to get as many little things done and over with as soon as possible so I can just enjoy the rest of the days leading up to the wedding.


    We're so close and I'm sure the excitement will return!

    I have 142 days and I am completely over it now, I can't imagine how I will be when I hit the timing you are at.

    Hey date-twin! I'm right with you on the "I cannot wait to have this over with" train. I'm hoping the actual wedding day will be great and exciting. I think I'll feel better when payments are made, details are finalized, and my friends and family arrive in town. Hopefully it'll be better for you too!

    I'm 36 days away and so over it, it's sickening. I think the excitement will come back when the day is here and you get to see your FS and family/friends. Hang in there..it's the home stretch!!!

    I am in the same place. 16 day left and I'm done. I just want it to be over with. I think most of us or at least a lot of us, get to this point when we are so close. I dont know if it will get better until the day of our wedding but I know that our wedding day is going to be amazing no matter what we are feeling like know. But for now, you are not alone.

    I hated those last couple of weeks before the wedding.. it seemed like things fell apart that I had delegated to others, but people who offered to help in my distress really came through and helped me calm down. My MOH really came in clutch and she thankfully has similar tastes as I do, so I was able to communicate to her some things I wanted in terms of signage and she offered to take care of some of the things I cared less about than others. That's my biggest piece of advice: if there's anything else that someone can take care of for you that you don't mind if it's not quite exactly as you envisioned, then hand it off. If you have a very specific vision for something, be sure to communicate clearly and get confirmation from them that they understand what you want. That happened with my guestbook board and we had to scramble to get a replacement made with four days left before the wedding.


    All that to say... once I got everything together and taken to the venue right before the rehearsal, everything was in motion and I was determined to take my hands off of the details and ride it out. At that point, everything felt like a dream and was so surreal.

    It is ALL worth it. Know your limits and know when to ask for help. It will get better and force yourself to take some moments to consciously let it all sink in because it'll fly by and suddenly, you're married!

    SAME boat. 18 days away and I can't stop stressing over all of the details coming together. This is the "I'll be excited when it's over" stage for me. I'm wasting time at work and every day closer the stress just keeps building. I hope I can let go when the day arrives! Hang in there with me!

    10 days to go, and I feel your irritation! Only 3 more shifts at work though. I think that is what's keeping me sane.

    Haha I feel so much better being 28 days out! I was even questioning why get married. I’m throwing $$$ out the window at this point and it’s lost it’s luster

    You are totally not alone. I am 16 days out and we just had our final meeting with our venue last night. With all the "what color uplighting, what about this, what about that?" - I just.don't.care anymore. I'm just looking forward to marrying my FH and starting our life together. I'm confident that when out of town guests start arriving and I'm finally off of work prior to the wedding, I'll be super excited. Hang in there! You're in the home stretch!

    Thanks everyone for the kind words and encouragement! I'm so glad I'm not alone in this and that this is normal! It makes me feel so much better. We will make it!

    The week leading up to the wedding was my most stressful one by far. I wasn't sleeping and constantly stressed out an on edge. SO ready for it to be over. That feeling went away the day of the rehearsal when I just handed my DOC everything and said screw it, I'm getting married and thats the important part lol.
