    This is for all of the bees that are close to your day or already married. How does it feel when you are down to the wire? Are you anxious, nervous, scared, excited, happy.....inquiring minds would like to know what to expect.

    I was really excited, and ready to get it over with.  The morning after the wedding was great, because we were finally married.  It's a weird feeling to go back to "regular" life, beacuse you've put most of your energy into wedding planning, and now that it's over you really don't know what to do.  I'm still adjusting to married life, and have a lot of loose ends to tie up (thank you notes and fun stuff like that).  For any of you getting your name changed...it seems like it takes FOREVER!

    I have 110 days to go (4 months away) and I'm super anxious to get all or almost all my planning done by the 100 day mark so that I can relax and enjoy the days till my wedding... I'm also kinda nervous I won't get all the planning done and the decorations, and the cake, and the invitations oh my!

    6 days away! and really excited! sometimes i'm nervous about things that will go wrong... but i really just don't care that much. i just want to be married.

    this weekend we did have a scare b/c fi had to be in the hospital (he's fine now), but luckily we really didn't have any wedding things to do. which i think was pretty amazing that we had the weekend before the wedding free, but i'm pretty crazy like that and i have everything done ahead of time. so don't procrastinate! it was so nice to not have to worry about wedding and just be there for my fi.

    I think it has been a roller coaster of emotions.. fighting with my parents over our ceremony, feeling excited about the wedding, trying to get everything done, getting nervous.  I feel like every day brings a new emotion mostly good but some drama.    I would recommend getting as much done as possible in advance, because things that require others like music and seating chart take longer than you expect.  get whatever you can do on your own well in advance!

    I, too, am looking forward to the responses! I'm just looking forward to being with my fiance, having a good time, and seeing the people I love most. I'm not one to sweat the little things but who knows :)

    Uh...

     

    I am freaking the FUCK out!

     

    Ok I said it, I feel anxious, sick to my stomach, and weirdly excited.

    I have so much still to do, so if I could get things settled on those fronts. I think I would be more excited. So gals, make sure you get your stuff done as fast as possible. Because this is so nerve wrenching! 24 Days!!!

    i am super excited!! i'm about 2 1/2 months away... i have been planning for 2 years!! so i feel like it is blowing my mind that i still have so much to do. there are certain things you really can't do until you know how many people are going to be in attendance... so i'm really anxious about having to leave like completing menus and programs and favors until what seems like the last minute. i'm relieved that booking vendors and completing seminars (catholic wedding - don't know if you're required to do that) is all behind us now though.

    i am freaking out and anxious about how it will all come together in the end... having multiple vendors and no wedding planner is scaring me that it will end up looking differently than i have envisioned for the last two years.

    I am 26 days away.  I'll go with scared, nervous and anxious.

    I am not a big spotlight person (I can't eat before giving presentations at work b/c I'll be sick beforehand if I do).  I have no idea how I am going to make it down the aisle, and through the vows.  I'm terrified of the first dance.  I worry about falling (either walking down the aisle or during the first dance).  I wanted a small wedding out of town originally and now it's a 100 person affair in my hometown.  Way more yes RSVP's than I was expecting. 

    And I can't even look forward to the honeymoon, while we are leaving the next day for 2 weeks, it appears I may have to bring my computer and work remotely.  The person covering for me is slammed and won't get the job done, and I'll be the one to get in trouble when I get back.

    I know I sound like such a downer.  I love my fiance and I can't wait to marry him.  And I hope everything goes better than planned.  Right now I'm anxiously awaiting my shower, I have never been to a bridal shower and am so scared of being the center of attention.  And it feels greedy since the purpose seems to be buying us stuff.

    2 days before, a hot mess

    1 day before, nervous but excited, drank some champagne the night before, that helped!

    day of, somehow quite relaxed, got ready with my MOH and friend did my hair, had a makeup artist too..we drank mimosas and just had a good time...

    try to stay relaxed and know that everything will be ok! just focus on the 2 of you and how much you both love each other...it will show, trust me!

    good luck to all the bee's getting married! it goes by so fast so remember to have fun, eat your food and relax!!!

    for those of you nervous to be nervous... i'm usually a worrier and i'm fine! 5 days to go and all is well. things keep popping up that we have to do that we forgot about, but then we just do them. no prob. i pretty much gave myself a "your not allowed to worry" rule and it's working. as long as we get married, life will be good.

    I have a little over two weeks to go and I'm suprisingly calm... I have a few last minute things to put together, but I know I have time to do them so I'm not stressed over it or anything. Also, I think it helps to have a great support system. I know that if anything goes wrong or I need last minute help I can depend on my MOH to help me out. THAT is very comforting. I'm excited, but honestly it doesn't really feel real yet! I think it will feel real the week of.. maybe I'll start stressing then :)

    @LeeLee - Congratulations! 

    We are 88 days out (May 22) and most the time I am just plugging along and okay.  BUT (it's a big but!) we are closing on our first home tomorrow, I am going for 2 second interviews this week and next week, we are moving next week, we have pre-cana this weekend, I am planning my sister's 30th b-day, my shower is next month and invites aren't out yet, I have to get wedding invites out this week or next... and sometimes, when I think of all I have to do, I FREAK OUT!!   It seems to hit at night when I am making my mental list of what to do the next day.  I panic and freak and cry (in that order) but I just have to remember it will all be fine!

    We're just 25 days away and I'm strangely calm about it.  I wish it was now!  My to-do list is still pretty long, but there isn't a lot of it I can do until the week of, so for now, its just the calm before what I'm sure will be the storm!

    oh and a couple more things! cry...cry when you feel like it..even if its in your car driving..it will help you release all of the built up stress your feeling and don't share with anyone!

    Go out one night close to your wedding day with your future husband, have a nice dinner out or just drinks..something to reel you back in!

    talk, talk, talk...go over details with your MOH or friends, even though they've heard it a 100 times, it will help you mentally go over in your mind what you need to do or get done!

    I'm sure Ill think of more : )

    I'm 4 days away from getting married. Everyone keeps asking if I'm nervous but I'm a mix of two things: really really excited!!! and really really tired. I feel like, because of last minute things - mainly, trying to pack for the wedding weekend and also for the honeymoon - and that I'm still going to work. And hoping I don't forget anything. Like, I just realized I don't have a shrug or something to keep myself warm in-between photos and whatnot. And last minute de-bloating haha.

    But otherwise, I'm just really really excited! He has a lot of family from out of state that are flying in for the wedding, and my uncle just arrived from the Philippines. Cousins are posting how excited they are to fly in and "parrrr-taayyyy" with us in California. Haha. It'll be a fun weekend, I am sure!

    @mikan - thanks! even if i don't get better it's not going to matter - it will still be the best day ever.  

    also, yes, lists galore. color coded excel sheet highlighter stained goodness that is my lists. 

    but how good does it feel to cross things off and see them shrink down to nothing? :)

    I totally agree!

    But I find myself second guessing myself as the list gets shorter. Like - Really?? I'm almost done??

    Really I should be since it's literally around the corner!
