24 days out and it still hasn't hit me yet.

Nemo, on July 17, 2018 at 10:05 AM Posted in Planning 0 23

We are 24 days out and I am still cool as a cucumber...even though the to-do list keeps growing. I expected to feel way more stressed at this point but for the most part I feel pretty good with everything. I don't think it feels real yet, which is insane because we've been engaged for a year Smiley xd Anyone else feel like this?? When did it hit you??

    That's how I feel like it will probably happen!! We organized our cabinets and purged all of our old mismatched stuff last night, and an hour later when we were sitting on the couch I just yelled "WE'RE ALMOST MARRIED!" and scared the crap out of FH Smiley xd but even sitting here now, it doesn't feel real yet.

    I am 66 days out and starting to feel overwhelmed by all of the little things that need to get done. Doesn't help that I found a dress I like better that needs no alterations and I keep going back and forth on that.

    I am hoping one I check a few more things off my list that I will feel better.

    Congrats on being so cool about things, I can't wait to get there!

    Omg this is ME! I am 31 days out and sometimes for a brief minute it'll hit me, but I still tell people "Is this actually MY wedding?" Like it feels SO surreal! Definitely hasn't fully hit me, and probably won't until I'm literally standing in my wedding dress.

    My to-do list both grows and shrinks, but is mostly shrinking, so that's probably helping to keep the stress at bay as well. I hope it continues that way!!!

    Honestly the stress hit me the night before the rehearsal and that was only because everyone needed me to do a million things while I was trying to organize all my venue decorations into my car. But the day of I was cool as a cucumber until I heard my husband arrived then I was like holy hell!! It’s happening!!

    We must be date twins! I'm half cool/half definitely NOT cool haha! I just need a few more decisions MADE (ceremony readings, DJ questionnaire, seating chart) and then it'll be here! A good friend is getting married Saturday so I feel like ours will be real once hers is over and ours is the next one we attend! It's wild!!!!!!

    YES!! I expected to be in full meltdown mode by now but everyone keeps telling me I am so weirdly calm haha. I lovingly refer to it as the calm before the storm (aka last minute craziness)

    Mine to-do list seems to happen like this: check off one thing, add two. Check off two, add one. Check off two, add two. Eeeeeeeek. I did just finishing up buying all my parent gifts, bridesmaid/man gifts, and our cake stand yesterday. We're applying for our marriage license today and will pick it up on Friday!

    Wow, lucky you! Take it as long as you have it haha. I'm 82 days away and it still feels so far away and not stressed (not really stressed that is).

    August 11th?? Hellooooo date twin!!! I feel calm most of the time, then I'll randomly get this surge of energy/stress and have a micro-meltdown Smiley xd We still have our seating chart to do too, that's the last thing that is really stressing me out (other than our day of timeline!!!! eeeeeeek.)

    I was like that through the whole process! No bridezilla in sight still not but we’re 3 days away and I’m starting to freak. Not so much about the wedding, but getting last minute things made and to the venue and about getting the house ready for company!!!

    I feel like I'm going to be a crazy person at the rehearsal! Our venue will let us bring decor over anytime during the week of, so I'm planning to drop it off on Thursday so hopefully ease a bit of stress on Friday!

    I'm at 101 days and it still didn't feel real to me yet either. I keep wondering when it will.

    There are little moments (65 days here!) where I realize that this is really happening. I had my first alterations appointment last week and my bridal shower is next weekend and those have kind of hit me first. FH and I are both kind of waiting for that feeling to hit us, and I imagine it will really hit during that last week or so when we're finishing decorations and making payments

    I'm 10 days out, we've been engaged for 3 years. I'm also a lot calmer than I thought I'd be!! I think it's because everything is paid off and ready. The thing I was the most nervous about was the first dance and the father daughter dance, but I started practicing with my fiance and dad every day and I feel better. I'm starting to feel a little anxious today, but it's not too bad thankfully
