Ready for it to be over

I know what you mean. We have longer to go than you - just under 5 months, and all the fun stuff is done. Everything left now is boring or stressful or complex or expensive and it's just like... ugh. No more fun details to arrange!

I'm so excited for the day to just come and all the pieces come together and fur us to just finally be married!

Wishing you the most wonderful and smooth day!

I’ve definitely been there, girl. I almost switched my ceremony from a big venue with a bunch of guests to a private ceremony in my backyard. Make sure to make time for yourself. Maybe take a spa day or something just to de-stress a bit. I know something like that helped me. I know talking with my fiancé, my family, and my bridesmaids about the stress helped a lot too

Absolutely. I lost all excitement in everything wedding related after postponing it and was absolutely dreading the wedding up until the day of. The wedding itself just didn’t matter to me anymore, I didn’t want to talk or think about it, I just wanted it to be over. Our wedding day was honestly wonderful but I am so relieved it’s over. I’ve been in your shoes, and it sucks but it will be over soon! The most important part is the love you guys share and the years of marriage you will have!

I'm there right now. My friend yesterday even picked up on it and was like "this will all be over soon, don't worry." Weddings are stressful and this has been a stressful year to plan. I bet you'll have a great time on the day but I get just wanting it to come and go

2 months to go and right there with you. I’m definitely looking forward to the day but just want it to be over. Postponed from last year so I’ve done this twice and I’m sooo over it. On top of the fact that we’re minus some income due to COVID and moneys been so tight I can’t even enjoy these upcoming months as I’m saving every penny. Ugh... June be here already!

It comes in waves for me! I think it's completely normal. I don't think it has a thing to do with your love for you fiancé, wedding planning is just tiring and draining. For me, I love having extra money to do as I please - random trips, shopping, dinners, whatever it may be. Having to put so much of our 'extra money' aside for the wedding is for the birds.

Keep your eyes on the prize! Once this day is over, your life as husband and wife begins. Give yourself grace, wedding planning isn't as glamorous as it's cracked up to be.

I am right there with you! Wedding is in 23 days and I am over it! Chasing after RSVPs, dealing with guests who have no idea how a wedding works, and the little details left are getting to me. It's amazing how much there was to do even after postponing last year when I thought the wedding was mostly planned! The good thing is that the to-do list is shrinking, but those pesky final details are definitely irritating. I'm just trying to let go of what are other people's issues and focusing on what is in my control. Also remembering all of the vendors we are paying nicely to carry all of this out! Best of luck to you - we WILL get there and have a beautiful day!

Weddings suck!

Nah, but really, this is perfectly normal.

Weddings don't suck, but planning them sure can. There have been ten gazillion decisions you've had to make. You don't care that there are 47 shades of sky blue anymore. You're tired of the hullabaloo. You just wanna be freaking married. That's okay!

You will almost certainly find this goes away in the few days before, when there are no more deadlines, no more decisions to make, and everything is in place and just ready for you to enjoy.

SAME. I am 10 days out and so ready for it to all be over! I am not even a DIY bride (intentionally) but the details over the last 30 days are killing me. I am exhausted, Lol. The bright side is that by Sunday, I think everything should be done, and then I can just enjoy wedding week next week.

This is normal aha. my bff and i are married and we were saying how people would ask if we're excited and we're like "yea for it to be over" and they'd be like huh? haha we just meant for the stresses of planning to be over because it is a lot to do. it's a giant logistical event that took a while to plan, so obviously there's gonna be a lot joy in the event but there was also a lot of stressors and work that went into it and so what we meant was that it's a sigh of relief for things to be done in terms of the planning

I've been dreading planning my wedding since we got engaged. I have wanted to elope from day one, so all of this planning is for my fiancé and his family. Hang in there!

It could be worse. My older sister is engaged and is dreading the planning so much she hasn't even started. You will get through this. Definitely try to focus on the good things about the wedding and also non-wedding related things. Maybe try to find something after the wedding to look forward to as well.

Totally. I was so stressed in the weeks leading up to it, but then as soon as our wedding weekend actually came, I hit a weird wave of calm and apathy about everything haha. Like I was so easily able to shrug things off, even when major things went wrong. I knew I had done everything I could to make the day as good as possible, and I just accepted that in spite of that, everything was not going to be perfect but that was ok because it was still going to be wonderful.

Something that really helped was when I'd feel stressed about something wedding-related I'd start thinking about our 1 year wedding anniversary. We'd be watching our wedding video together, eating our cake, and reminiscing about the day. Whatever it is that was causing the stress...... would it still matter on our 1 year anniversary, or would it be something we either shrugged off or laughed at by then? If it wasn't going to matter by our anniversary, I just let it go!
