Just Said Yes May 2016

Why am I not excited?!!

Mrs.HunterToBe, on April 8, 2016 at 10:29 PM Posted in Planning 0 28

I'm getting married in 49 days and I'm not excited!! Of course I love my fiancé and I am excited that we are getting married but my wedding doesn't seem real. Although I am constantly doing things for the wedding on a daily, I don't feel like I only have a short amount of time left. May 27th still seems so far away.

When will I have my moment? When will it feel like I'm getting actually married and not just planning? I feel like such a horrible person. I see all the other brides with such exciting post and I want so bad to feel the say way!!

Please keep all rude comments to youself. I feel bad enough as it is. Thanks!

    Don't worry I'm 29 days away and feel the same. We'll get there.

    Mine didn't come until a couple weeks before the wedding. It never seemed close enough to get excited for. It really hit me at the rehearsal and then I got super excited. don't worry it will come. It's hard with all the planning and stress to let yourself get excited but your day will come :-)

    Why are you assuming people are going to be rude? I actually think this is really normal. It'll hit you when you're wearing that dress and saying those vows!

    I have a little longer than you do to go, but it hasn't quite hit me yet either. I think when we go get our marriage license that will be a thing.

    How long is your engagement? Ours will be just about six months, it's felt fairly busy always doing or thinking something wedding-related without a lot of down time. So maybe busy doesn't help?

    Take this weekend off and don't do anything wedding planning related, don't talk about it, try not to think about it. Just focus on other things in your life and do something for yourself.

    Sometimes it just gets overwhelming and I think stepping back and taking a break for a weekend or week will help recharge you!

    "Feeling married" or "like I'm getting married" didn't really happen until I was reading my vows to my husband. I had another surge of happiness after the wedding eating cake on our bed, and again in the morning when we had breakfast with our friends.

    Maybe you just aren't a huge "party" person. I'm really not, so the event itself didn't really get me amped. The marriage part (vows) were when I had my moment.

    Don't worry about what this board or what bridal shows make it seem like it "should" be. We all have a different experience. As long as you are focused on the reason, that's all that counts. You may or may not have a moment before the wedding. It might come before you walk down the aisle, it might come when the night is over.

    MrsHunter I kind of feel like that a lot too. People will ask me questions and after a few I just kind of feel over it, over planning it, over talking about it! I just want it to be here! I'm worried people will think I'm not excited to marry my FH! I am! I just think it doesn't feel/ seem real yet. Hopefully after my shower and bachelorette and once it's actually May? Good luck these next few weeks!

    I totally feel this way sometimes. I've had a 1.5 yr long engagement and I just sometimes want the wedding to be here and gone. I live with FH and have been for over a year so I've been more than ready. You're not alone, I totally feel you.

    Might be tough since you're working so hard ON the wedding you're not able to fully enjoy it. Maybe you just need to get over the stress hump and that giddy feeling will hit you soon. Smiley smile

    Give it some time. You will most likely feel more excited when it gets closer and more things fall into place. Try not to put expectations on how you should be feeling. Everyone's experience is unique.

    I feel guilty because I just want to get it over with already. I try to take time off but then something pops up I need to handle and I can't shut my head off. I should be so excited but the fun isn't there anymore. And then the guilt hits.

    Planning is stressful! There's no reason to feel guilty because you're feeling a little distracted and overwhelmed. Once the day comes, I'm sure you will be ecstatic!

    I agree with all the stress it's hard to feel excited. I think maybe the day before if you are having a rehearsal will make it exciting again. It means you are so close and everything is done. I think most of the excitement dies once invites are sent and your RSVPs are over with.

    Hi date twin!!

    I think it's perfectly normal to not feel excited, or have the wedding feel "real" at this point. All of the excitement, for me anyways, is clouded under a pile of stress and never ending to-do lists. I don't think it'll truly feel real or exciting to me until the wedding day!

    Hang in there.. you'll have your moment. Smiley smile

    I didn't really feel excited until the Thursday night before the wedding. Between last minute details, work, a death in the family I was really distracted. It really h itme Friday morning when my MOH drove in and our rehersal was that night. What you are feeling or rather not feeling is totally normal.
