Surreal feeling?

Margaret , on April 13, 2019 at 7:39 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 38
Does anyone else feel like the wedding day is surreal or far away like it’s just not ever going to happen? I don’t mean that in an angsty way. My wedding is weeks away and I still feel like it’s not real if that makes sense? I think I’ve just spent so much time planning and thinking there’s still so much time left that my brain is kind of stuck in that mode. I’m a little worried I won’t get out of it and I’ll let the day totally pass me by lol. How soon is everyone’s wedding and what are some of the emotions going through your mind as it gets closer? It helps to know I’m not the only one with crazy thoughts lol.

    Yes! I had to recently give myself a "reality check" because at the beginning we had over a year. Then April hit and I was all.. ooooooo crap 6 months gotta got finalizing crap! Had just kept telling myself there was time. 😂
    I think it will hit more when it's in that last month that it's really coming. I know I can't wait!
    If you've made all your checks, make sure you give yourself a break. Don't want the big day to go by too fast!

    Mine is next June...so, yes it seems very far away.
    I'm sure you are just stressed and a little overwhelmed at the moment, since you have been putting all your energy towards the wedding.

    You will be fine! Don't worry. Just enjoy your day and all of the fruits of your Labour, so to speak.
    You will be a beautiful bride. You will have the wedding of your dreams, with the man of your dreams.

    Congratulations! I can't wait to hear how it went.👰❤

    Same feelings! I just hit 99 days and it feels surreal (I started at 19 months). I think it will feel more real the closer it actually gets (I’m thinking that week I fly in for me at least lol). I’m excited for sure though. I think just ready for it to be here lol

    It’s like it goes by so slow but it also goes by so fast! All the big stuff is done and I bought everything I needed that was left in my amazon cart lol. I get moments of pure excitement so I’m going to try to hang onto those. And yes knowing me the day will fly by if I let it so I really will work on taking time to breath and appreciate what’s happening. And that last month will come so fast! Once you get to that month it’s like, HERE lol

    Thank you so much! You always have to kindest and most helpful responses and I definitely appreciate it. I think the stress does just kind of put you in a fog so I’m going to work on enjoying the moments of pure excitement that I get. 🥰

    99 days is big! You’re in the double digits! It just goes by so dang fast lol. I thought it would feel more real as I got closer too but here I am feeling like it’s not going to come lol. But i think a large part of that is just me and the way I think about/handle things. I’m really going to work on enjoying these last couple weeks because I will never get them again. I hope the rest of your planning goes smoothly and that you’ll be so excited that last week when you fly in 😊

    That's right! Just bask in your excitement and joy. Maybe you could start a journal leading up to the wedding.
    To get all those emotions out, and to look back and remember how far you have come.
    You can reminisce next year by going back and reading your entriesSmiley smile
    You will see all your worry was for nothing because it turned out better than you hoped and dreamed.❤

    Yes! I’m down to my last 100 days and I keep having to tell myself that the day is quickly approaching and I have to start making final decisions. I know the feeling. Now I make it a point to check my calendar to plan out due dates, so I don’t miss anything.

    Yes! There’s so many things to remember as the day gets closer. Once you get to that 100 days it just goes so fast. I keep telling my FH that the decisions he makes now have to be the final ones and he can’t change his mind again. He’s super indecisive 🙄

    It still doesn’t feel real to me because it’s over a year away, but it felt realer when I went to my first bridal appointment. That being said, it’ll probably be the week before and I still won’t have fully grasped the idea mentally. I never thought I was the marriage type, so all of this is a little out of my element, which makes it feel like I’m planning someone else’s wedding—or just a big party. I only hope it does feel real on my wedding day, lol.

    So far still calm, but it definitely felt real after getting my dress today. Other than some final logistical details and paying of balances, we're basically done planning. No major hiccups or drama- we've been planning with an open mind. I told my fiancé that this summer is going to fly by and December 7th will be here before we know it.

    Mine is too 🙄. I’ll ask him a question about final decisions and he’ll say, “I’m not sure, let’s talk about it later.” At this point, there is no later!

    My wedding is 47 days away now. I hit the 6 week mark and realized how much there’s left to do.

    Totally.

    Granted, I was engaged in a previous relationship, before I got out of it (it was an abusive situation). So, I've been halfway down this road before and not had it happen.

    Now, it's just feeling that I'm doing all this, so that feels real, but I don't think I'll believe it until the day of...

    That’s a perfect way to put! It does feel like I’m planning this for someone else. I think in the beginning keeping a distance emotionally helped me to not stress but now I gotta find a balance so I can enjoy the day lol.

    The summer really will fly by. I’m glad you guys have most of the big stuff done. I’ve been lucky too in that the whole planning process has gone fairly smoothly. I hope you are able to maintain your calmness throughout the rest of planning 😊

    Exactly! I guess they just don’t get how fast it comes and that vendors and other people need to know final details by a certain date. I guess it’s what we signed on for lol.
