Not excited and it's 2 weeks away

We all react to the stress of planning differently.

I think, if everything is done, take the time to just stop thinking and worrying. Maybe go get a massage or a wrap or something super luxurious that will help you relax.

The hard part is done, and the day will be wonderful, so just take the time between now and the wedding to do as much self-care as possible!

I’m also under 2 weeks. It sounds like you have some wedding burnout for sure. It all seems a little surreal to me right now so I think that could be part of it as well. I think once things start actually going the excitement will build. I hope you have a wonderful wedding day!

I feel the same way...I honestly just want it over
I hope that everything works out with you.

It's one of two things: burnout, or dissociation,

The former being obvious, the latter meaning that because it's so close, but still so far, and you've nothing left to do, you're just sort of hanging here... so it doesn't really feel "real."

If everything is done, give yourself a well-deserved break. Relax.

You've hit the point I call the "exam" point - you have an exam coming, and you are 100% prepared for it. Any further studying you do will only make you overthink or stress.

Step back and let it come. I can almost assure you that when the day arrives, you will be excited.

What my FH and I realized is this is a big party for everyone else. If it were just for us, we would have eloped.

Once we realized that, we have been able to plan without much stress. It's just a matter of *IF* we can still have the party with COVID restrictions resurfacing. If we have to push our date out a 3rd time, we are going with the elopement and plan a later celebration.

Just try to find time for you and FH throughout the celebration...even if to toast that it's finally over!

Were you previously stressed out before you finalized everything? Because if that is the case, subconsciously you could be thinking "Finally I am done. I can't wait for this to be over." I have gotten to that point as my day is getting closer, but more so for me I haven't finalized everything just yet.. Maybe just do some self reflecting on the good things! Think in terms of "I can't believe I was able to do this. Now my vision is about to come true! This was all me." Etc.

It's ok - give yourself a break!! It's impossible to maintain peak excitement for two weeks anyway, so give yourself a break and de-stress now so you can enjoy your wedding day! ❤️

Thank you everyone

I myself absolutely HATE planning anything because it takes the enjoyment out of it. So I understand! You have time to relax now and just wait for the day. I promise the day of you will be so excited and happy! Just relax and enjoy the calm.
