What are you most excited for?

Jamie, on October 7, 2019 at 9:33 AM Posted in Community Conversations 1 20
Other than marrying your SO, of course!

My wedding isn’t for another year, but there’s so many little things I’m excited about. Our venue is the summer camp we’ve worked at together for a few years, and we have the venue for the weekend. After we do a rehearsal ceremony we’re turning our rehearsal dinner into a pizza party/decorating party and afterwards we’re having a bonfire. If South Jersey weather is anything like it was this last weekend next year, it’s going to be such a great night! I’m almost more excited for that than the big day itself.

Other than that, when it’s getting ready time I’m just so excited to hang out with my closest friends and family—my bridesmaids are(as of right now) doing each other’s hair/make up and my cousin is doing mine, and the idea of it just feels like a sleepover or something and something about that just lights me up.

These are just a few things! There are SO many things I’m looking forward to, but whenever things get stressful in the planning process and I think of those particular events I calm down and look forward to everything all over again!


How bout you guys? Are their any special or particular moments that you’re looking forward to? Or anything that calms you down about your wedding when you think about it?

    Also excited for my FH to get his first look of me walking up the aisle to him

    That's so fun!!! I love the idea of having a decorating party too. I've decided a good way to save money is by ordering wholesale flowers and doing the arrangements myself so we will be having a flower decorating party the night before. I'm super excited about this and taking photos with my FH for the first time as man and wife. I can't WAIT!

    I guess I'm most excited for the honeymoon! We're going to the beach and getting away from the cold where we live!

    What I’m most excited about is seeing his face when I walk down the isle. I can’t wait to see everything that our wedding planner puts together and to just FINALLY be able to show my fiancé my dress and stop keeping it a secret. I’m horrible at keeping secrets and my dress has been hanging in our closet since February! I still have a year to go! I even have my rehearsal dinner dress in my closet. We also put together some really great gift bags for our wedding party that I think they’ll all really like. I guess what I’m trying to say is, everything! Haha!

    Ugh that is such a GOOD feeling!!! I’ve been with my FH for almost 7 years and I’m almost certain this is the most organized he’s ever seen me be(let’s hope I can keep it up AFTER the wedding!). I’m so excited for you, and I’m sure everything is going to be amazing!!!

    Oh man, THIS! I’m just so thankful that my dress shop has held onto my dress for me, because I’m the awful at keeping secrets too. Mine came in during June and it’s been so hard not to show FH, but the look on his face when he sees me is going to be worth it.

    Ugh feel free to share your gift bag ideas! I already gave my bridal party gifts as little proposals, but he and I both have no idea what to do as another gift lol

    I’m doing this too and I’m so excited!! I love flowers and tbh I feel like this will be one of the most relaxing things leading up to the wedding.

    The pictures though 😍!!! There’s one in particular that I’m looking forward to—at the summer camp after you’ve been there for so long you get put your hand print up on what they call the high five wall, and one of the photos I’m hoping to take is changing my last name on the wall!! (And if they let us, him putting up his handprint, because he never got to! We made plans for him to put his over mine like they’re holding hands.)

    For my bridesmaids/moh I bought them tote bags (hobby lobby and used the 40% off coupon) and put their initial on the bag and I tied a satin ribbon on the bag to make it pop a little. I filled the tote with: a bracelet with their initial (wish), tumbler with their name on it (made the name with my Cricut ordered the tumblers in a large pack of 10 for $12 on eBay), and sperry sneakers to wear during the reception (if they would like) they’re a neutral color they can wear after. I hit a big sale on those. They were $19 buy one get one half off with an additional 25% off on DSW. I might add a mini lotion or face mask but probably not. For the groomsmen we found a 6 pack beer holder that say “groomsmen” and “best man” at tjmaxx we will put a 6 pack of their favorite beer in that along with a bottle opener, the suspenders for the wedding day (Amazon $5) and a yeti beer coozy. For the younger flower girls and the junior bridesmaid we bought them necklaces off of wish, bought smaller totes to put their names on. I put their name on a satin ribbon so they could remove it if they wanted. We will also buy a few candies to put in the tumbler and their shoes for the wedding. They’re shiny ballet shoes ($16 on amazon) so I’m hoping they like them and wear them again.
    Pictured are: flower girls and junior bridesmaid necklaces, their ballet shoes, bridesmaid bags and my bag with the flower girl and junior bridesmaid bags, and the sperry sneakers for bridesmaids.

    I'm most excited for our first look! I bought my dress super early so I will have had it for over two years by the time we get married and its been SO hard not showing it to FH. I'm also really excited to get ready with my girls. It will likely be the first time we're all together through this whole process so it'll be good to have everyone by my side.

    I'm also really excited to get ready with all of my bridesmaids! They come from all different parts of my life and mostly do not know each other and I think it will be really special to me for them to all get to know each other through my wedding. And OF COURSE I am so excited to marry the love of my life Smiley ring

    I'm so excited for FH to see me in my dress during our first look! I day dream about it all the time. haha. I'm, also, super excited to see all the planning I've done come together and go on our honeymoon! Oh... and move in together!! FH & I are pretty traditional and won't be living together until after the wedding. I can't wait to not have to drive 35-40 minutes to each other's houses!

    That’s so cute! Congrats!!

    I’m excited about EVERYTHING! His joy and happiness. The joy and happiness from our parents especially, my mom. I’m her only daughter and she’s so tickled. I pray my grandmother will still be around to see her first grandchild marry so, her joy. I’m really particular on our first dance. He’s a musician and we LOVE music and dancing. So, I’m excited about that too.

    He’s my calm. He stresses me and we’re not perfect. He’s such a man. He really thinks that he has to just show up sometimes lol. But, I find so much peace in knowing the man I am marrying. A faithful, God-fearing, beautiful and kind soul. He will be a great husband and an even greater father. I’m already jealous of my future daughter because I know he will spoil her rotten lol. So, that’s what calms me in the wedding planning stress.

    I'm pretty much excited about the whole process. I can't wait to see how my decorator does my venue. I can't wait to get all dressed up with my girls and just have fun. All my loved ones being the same room enjoying life is what excites me.
