    I am getting married next Saturday and I can't focus on anything right now! I sit in my cubicle all fidgety and just spastically look up wedding related things all day. I'm pretty much useless at work and probably will be through next week. Please tell me I am not alone!!

    Haha!  I've got 2 months to go and am already feeling some of that.  :)

    I'm sure in the week leading up to the wedding I'll be fairly useless.

    Good luck!

    I have things to work on here, but I just can't focus on it long enough to actually get anything done. Plus, my stomach feels jittery all day. Not a good combo. Hopefully no one is paying attention haha.

    Our wedding is next year and I'm distracted by looking up wedding-related stuff and checking out weddingbee!  Good thing I have my own office and it's a slow time of year, lol!

    I'm in the same boat. . with 10 months to go.  I've gone to shareing/alternating between work and wedding.  Basically bribing myself to work, by saying you can work on X after you complete Y.  It's not really working, but at least I'm trying.

    I find myself making lists all day and checking weddingbee every so often. It is an addiction I tell you!! It is hard when you've got all your wedding planning in the back of your mind floating around!

    Lol =)  I've been like that since May!  And I've still got a little over 11 months to go!! 

     

    But I get like this with EVERYTHING.  party planning, shopping trips, vacations, etc.  I like to be over-prepared.

    I'm like this too - and have been engaged for 5 months today with 11 months to go! LOL! It's hard because I get random ideas on the spot and have to stop and jot them down. My job is so stressful at times, when I get home I usually don't have energy to look up wedding things - so I get it in when I can! :)

    Seriously, my wedding is on Saturday and I have to work until Wednesday night - And all I can do is sit here thinking of lists and itineraries and EVERYTHING! I'm supposed to be finishing two projects and I seriously am not able to concentrate on anything!!!

    If you are a week further than I am R Elizabeth, well all I can say is that for me it has only gotten worse :).

    Yes! I do not want to be at work this week (or last week). It doesn't help that I don't like my job, but as the wedding gets closer and closer, I find it almost impossible to just stay here at my desk all day! I spent an hour on the phone this morning with my dad talking about marriage. I can't help myself, I feel like my mind is going a million miles a minute!

    I'm getting married July 31st - and I've already told my boss that bride brain has taken over!  Luckily my boss is super understanding, and even gave me the week before the wedding off, and 2 weeks after off...with pay!

    Haha - my entire wedding was planned at work! Ok, not all...maybe like 60% of it though! And the month before, I was running around doing so many last minute things that my mind definitely was NOT on work. Of course, I got promoted a month before my wedding too, and that came with a ton of work, so I felt like a chicken with my head cut off the week before I left, but they should've counted me out as useless. I mean, seriously...how do you expect any bride to work the week before she gets married?

    Haha- these make me feel sooo much better. I'm glad I'm not just losing my mind. Luckily my boss is out this week and will be traveling most of next week... I've reminded myself to take so many deep breaths within the last week... And all those DIY projects I had planned have been thrown out the window, because I honestly just don't care anymore and I would be so stressed trying to complete them by next weekend... I'm just ready for the wedding!

    @r elizabeth:I totally feel the same way! Most of my DIY projects have been abandoned and I am just focusing on the necessary things now (eg. place cards). I just want it to be here already! I am trying to remind myself to write in my journal though so I remember this time and stay in the moment. Otherwise I feel like I'm in a stress-induced fog.

    r elizabeth Hi Date Twin.  I thought i was the only one.  All of a sudden this weekn, i'm just going crazy finalizing everything.  Making last minute phone calls, setting up hair, nail, make up appts.  Spending my day on here...My mind is not at work at all!  I only have 33 hours left of work until i'm off for the Wedding and Honeymoon..so hopefully I don't get caught before then... hehe
