Not nervous--is that normal??

Elizabeth, on May 13, 2021 at 6:31 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 14
So I'm less than a month from my wedding and I just...stopped feeling nervous about it? I feel like I had this nervous-but-excited energy going and I thought it would get more intense as I got closer, but it got less intense. I am still overjoyed to be getting married, but it's more of a "wow that's happening soon" than a "OMG THAT'S HAPPENING SOON!"



Is this weird? For married WW users, how did you feel leading up to the wedding?

    It didn’t seem to hit me until it got really close like the day before. Maybe you’ll have a similar experience 😊
    I was really nervous/excited the day of

    I don't know that I really lost the "WOW THAT'S SOON" feeling - but I was only engaged for 6 months

    I never felt “nervous”. I was excited and trying to enjoy every minute.

    I have been the BM/MOH in LOTS of weddings, and from my experiences, this is normal (and optimal)! I have been in the weddings of a few brides who have been absolute wrecks during the weeks leading up to their weddings, and it’s miserable for everyone! Most of them have been rather calm in the weeks prior because they had everything done that needed to be done, and weren’t stressing. For those brides, they usually started getting excited a few days out (especially the night before) and were giddy the day of! I suspect you will get more & more excited as the day approaches

    I was never nervous.

    I also wasn't excited - don't misunderstand, though. I was thrilled to be getting married, but I wasn't excited for the wedding. I kind of felt like... let's just get this over with. I wanted to be married. I'd have been just as happy skipping off to the courthouse, so the wedding was just a to-do I had to get through to get to what I actually cared about.

    I think now that you are close, you know that it's going to happen, so it just feels like waiting for it to happen. You know that at the end of it, you'll be married, so what's there to be nervous about?

    I wasn't nervous until I was about to walk down the aisle! At that point, I wanted to get the ceremony over with and start the party! Besides that moment, I was just very excited. I think whatever you're feeling is normal!

    I'm officially 15 days away and I'm not nervous at all either. I'm extremely excited and look forward to every aspect of the wedding (specially marrying my honey) but not nervous. I really hope it stays that way because I used to suffer from bad anxiety lol. If I feel anxious the day of I'll just make sure to have some liquid courage in me lol.

    When I was a month out, I wasn’t nervous either at all and was kind of over planning to be honest after having to postpone our original date. Now I’m a little over a week away and I’m starting to get antsy about the day. Even experiencing some butterflies here and there. I think it’s normal!!!

    I'm intensely reading all of these for future reference, being 4 months out! I am a little anxious, not to marry my fiance, but just because there still seems like so much to do!

    Even though we are super organised and have just about everything done already, I keep worrying that maybe we're forgetting something and we will relax only to realise and freak out last minute.

    One of my friends wasn't remotely nervous on her day - she kept telling us how many hours to go, and I had to ask her to stop since it was making ME nervous. Another friend was VERY nervous but she hates being the center of attention so that was to be expected. My sister seemed fine except for one moment where she got really emotional and the night before, when a bunch of things happened she had to try and sort out. Basically, everyone is different and it would be GOOD to not be nervous, I know I'm going to be for sure!

    According to my BP, I was the calmest bride they'd ever seen.

    I wasn't nervous.

    Anxious to have the day get there, anxious to hurry up and walk down the aisle...

    But I knew DH was the right match for me, we spent a lot of energy planning to make sure things were the way we wanted them to be, deliberately didn't expect perfect... and, honestly, just wanted a fun, beautiful day.

    So, no, I was not nervous.

    Not nervous at all! My MOH says to me on a weekly basis, I'm just waiting for you to blow up. The only thing that I have gotten stressed over is work because it has been super busy the past month working 10-12 hour days and I fell slightly behind with doing wedding things. However, I pulled thru and my FH stepped in thankfully for some things. I'm a week away and I cannot wait for the day. I'm ready to get pretty, take pictures and have fun with my friends and family. I pick up my dress tomorrow, have my shoes and everything else will fall in place. I don't think there is anything wrong with what you're feeling right now. I think there will be some nervous feelings maybe the day of but where you are right now, I was and am in the same boat Smiley smile

    I'm not nervous. Maybe it's because I'm looking forward to taking time off for my wedding day and going on a honeymoon! Smiley laugh I think you are okay!

    I'm not sure if it is normal, but I definitely felt the same way as you. I had all my vendors set up and paid for, all of my decorations organized, everything seemed ready to go. The morning of my wedding, I sat at the edge of my parents' pool and couldn't wrap my head around it being my big day. It seemed like a regular day to me. Since the ceremony wasn't until 6:30, I didn't have to start getting ready until 2:00 and THAT is really when the excitement came 😊
