Can we just get MARRIED already?!

[PilsnPinkysMom]

I don''t know why I suddenly feel this way, but I just want to be married NOW. Like- RIGHT now. None of this, "In 3.75 months" crap. I''ve lost my urge to plan a big party and really just want to settle into married life (not that it will be drastically different from my current lifestyle).

This will sound so lame, but I just read and browse on the Newlywed board and feel so sad

The majority of the gals that posted on BWW when I joined in have graduated, and some are even expecting! (YAY Mer!!!) I''m actually jealous of everyone who is beyond this ceremony and reception planning nonsense. I love the newbies, don''t get me wrong, but since I''m reaching wedding-planning-burnout I just don''t feel as involved or interested . I''m ready to be past this stage of my life. At the same time, I know I should be enjoying and cherishing these last few months.

Anyone else feeling this way, or am I the only loony? What about the soon-to-be BWW grads? Katamari, Sunny, Freke? (Not trying to leave anyone out- but those three fill the "now to 5 months out" time, which is when I started to feel like a Debbie-Downer-BIW)

I need some sunshine or something. Such a grump today...

Mine is in 11 months time and i am already feeling like you

When it gets closer to the date, i believe you will be feeling butterflies and more excited about your big day!

 

[ficklefaye]

you are definitely not the only one. i have a little over a month left and i also feel like i just want it to be over. i''m very excited to marry FI and go on vacation afterward, but i''m also getting tired of all this planning and coordinating

I got engaged in September 2008 and am not getting married until December 2010- I know how you feel, so many brides have come after me and left before me.. I wish that we had the money to get married tomorrow!

I definitely feel this way, also!! I have to wait until next July, but I''m SOOO excited about everything already! I just want to plan every last detail this very instant! One who is even more anxious than me though? My great grandma! (yep she''s still kickin'' at 94!!!) When I told her I was getting married and waiting until next summer since it takes that long to plan sometimes, her response was "Well, why the hell are you waiting so long?!" It was too cute

I''m her first great-granddaughter, so we are both feeling anxious and excited and impatient! Everyone keeps telling me "it will be here before you know it" but it sure doesn''t feel that way sometimes. I hope the next few months go quickly for you!

Thanks babe!

It will be ok. Trust me, The night and the party are worth every pain staking minute!!! Is there anything else you can do to pass time? Take some exercise casses or read in the park? Just to get your mind off of the wedding...

 

[dani2142]

I''m ready too!!!!!! I totally agree with you

 

[musincy]

I felt the same way a few months before my wedding. I wanted it to all be over and to just be married! I think a lot of brides feel it. Just don''t wish it away too quickly... you''ll wish you''d had more time at your wedding after the fact.

Also... you can come over to the newlywed''s thread and post anyway!

Yes, I was wholly fed up with it around the 3-4 month out mark. We tabled all planning for about a few months, but then planned the vacation and placed all the orders/contracted vendors at about 6 months out. At this point, I felt really excited and accomplished. Now not so much. Since I booked vendors until about a month ago, I have only been adrift in a sea of DIY. I have, I feel, been working non-stop and have not been able to share the fruits of my labors with anyone apart from FI. And I am ready for the day to BE HERE ALREADY! (Now, I purposefully kept the details to myself, because I want people to notice everything simultaneously versus piecemeal, but it feels like a not of work for nothing at this point).

I definitely feel like I just want it to be here already (which is why I pretty regularly advise posters against long engagements)--but it is, since I am leaving Friday for our trip. But, I am much more excited for the vacation (!!!) and celebration than married life, per se. FI and I have been together now for 10+ years and have lived together longer than some of our other friends have even known their wives/husbands, so I don't feel a push to experience married life, though I am slightly interested to see if things do change as "they" say it will.




ETA: CONGRATS, MERE!

I haven't been to Newlyweds much since it started. Looks like I missed some big news!

 

[happydreams]

Mine is 7 months away. I wish it were this weekend. totally get you.

 

[Smurfysmiles]

I feel ya, mine is 2.5 months away and I feel like running off into the forest screaming my head off lol

I actually was told to take it easy on the wedding planning today by the doctor because my birth control made my blood pressure so high and she said the stressful planning probably isnt helping and to take a mini wedding free vacation! sounds good to me doc! lol
