What was your "holy crap I am getting married" moment?

Just received drafts of three invitation designs and this is the first moment that it felt real. When was your first "this is happening!!" moment?

    Sitting down with our rabbi for the first time! She walked us through all the different parts of the ceremony, and when she said, "and then you say I Do," I teared up!

    Mine hasn't hit quite yet, but when we first started calling each other fiancé and people telling me "you're engaged"...seems so surreal!

    Last week when I had my first wedding nightmare. My venue (which I have had booked for about 2 years) ended up double booking my date. So, of course, the other couple got to have their wedding first. We waited around the venue until almost 9pm (along with all our guests) and STILL never had our ceremony. We finally ditched the place, got married in a nearby baseball stadium, and went to a bar afterwards. Thankfully our guests were very understanding and made the best of it lol.

    ETA: Also today when a guest RSVP'd on our wedding website... I obviously need to change the setting so random people don't start doing this.

    It hit me when we booked our venue. Before it was a bunch of pictures on a website, now I know the actual layout. I also finalized our date and bought my wedding dress that day, so I guess it was all at once!

    When we were changing banks and he just casually AF turns to me and says "joint account, right?" Serious business right there.

    I had one of these moment last weekend when I picked up my dress from the shop. Although I had tried the dress on, they squeezed me into a much smaller dress so I didn't get the full effect of the dress or its little details. Well they had me put it on when I picked it up to ensure everything was OK with it, I looked in the mirror and got to see all of the little details, this was one of those "OMG it's real moments".

    It's happened in small ways - when we paid off our DJ. When we went and tried cake flavors. The groomsmen getting fitted for their tuxes. Seeing FH in a tux and crying (man who would have thought I would cry. I barely cried when I tried my wedding dress on.. haha) It's such a great feeling and such a rush.

    Ugh i'm so excited!

    Hasn't happened for me yet. We're still a little ways away so it's more just research right now. Still seems so unreal when I say "I'm getting married". What an amazing feeling.

    Honestly we've been engaged for so long (almost 3 years) so it really hasn't hit me yet. I don't think it will until my processional music comes on lol

    I've had a mini panic attack every time we've signed a contract - that's a lot of money for this thing so far away but is actually happening!! So the venue, the photographer, videographer and DJ all sent my head spinning (I think the videographer was the most clarifying moment thus far). I had a random one the other night and said to FH "omg this is like legit happening!" To which I got a weird look lol.
