I have! I think its just I miss that feeling of looking forward to my wedding and having all the great stuff to plan. I wouldnt trade being married for anything but I liked being engaged too :)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not yet. I loved being engaged, and I loved planning, and I loved my wedding, but I am still SO GLAD it's over. Maybe in a few more months.
I'm glad you said this...because yes.
Our very good freinds just got engaged. I am not really jelous...I do feel happy for them. But yes...there is a little part of me that is jelous. I miss planning a wedding and being the bride...but just when I start to think that...I remeber how HARD it was to plan a wedding and be the bride. The grass is always greener. Don't think I would acutally want to go back
But I am glad you said this....I think a lot of us feel like that...but don't think it's ok to admit it
SpragueBride - Definitely wouldn't want to go back, but yeah a little bit miss the planning and all the attention. Yep, that's right I said it - I miss being the center of attention 
Actually I feel glad that I am already married and happy that I don't need to do all the planning, etc before the wedding :)
I'm not on the other side of the whole marriage thing yet, so I truly don't know how it feels. That being said, I can't imagine once I'm there that I'd miss it! It would be like graduating from college and being jealous of the incoming freshmen. I mean sure, they have a lot of exciting and fun times ahead, but after all that hard work and all the growing and changing you did, aren't you proud to look at all you've accomplished and continue to move ahead?
I can't say that I have, and I didn't even know that was a thing that people felt! Honestly I am SO ANXIOUS for someone around me to get engaged so I can offer to help with wedding planning and.. go to their wedding!! (In case you can't tell I am super obsessed with weddings since my own haha)
One thing I do feel is RELIEVED to be married. This time last year I was not even engaged and had no friggin clue when he was going to propose or what our futures held. Now I am married and very confident about the future.
I get jealous but not of the engagement really... just to know that they're embarking on an exciting journey and get to plan a huge party! Come to think about it, being engaged is exhausting, but it's still fun to really connect with your closest friends and family because of all the parties and GTGs surrounding the wedding. That's what I get jealous of! Plus you can tell them about all the mistakes you made, and the ones you wished you didn't make but know you can help them avoid... and I wished I had someone like that to tell me what not to do or what to avoid... I'd be jealous of that.
HA so funny I just posted this on Engagement Envy!
I hate to say it but yes I do get jealous mainly because we dated for four years, much longer than any of our friends. We got engaged in September, less than a week later my sister got engaged and so did several of our friends, including one of our close friends who is also getting married on an island. Everyone is also getting married before us. I AM happy for everyone but it just seems like "our thunder" was taken away!
I do...I LOVED planning my wedding and I would do it all over again if I could! Plus that time during your engagement is so exciting - all your friends and family gathering around you with parties and celebrations - it's such a warm time that I have wonderful memories of!
I'm thrilled and empathize for all they are going through. :D It was fun...I loved it and now I'm happy to vicariously get excited with them along the way. It's better, without the real stress.
I'm not necessarily jealous, but it would be fun to go back and relive some of that process. I actually had a conversation about it this morning with one of our friends who was a groomsman in our wedding. I think he's going to be proposing soon! :)
Ha ha! NOPE! I can see how that could happen but it doesn't for me at all. I'm really enjoying being the been-there-done-that person and I'm REALLY looking forward to the company since I was the first of my close friends to get engaged or married.
I don't feel jealous of newly engaged couples. I felt such a sense of relief after my wedding was over. It was worth all the work. but you'd have to pay me to go through all that planning again!
I greatly enjoyed having all my free time back after the wedding.
When I talk to other couples that are in the planning stages, I actually feel bad for them! Well, that sounds bad. I'm happy that they are getting married, I just remember all the work and stress and wouldn't wish it on anyone!
I miss my wedding! It was only 2 months ago so Im not jealous yet. 
My husband and I are wedding photographers so we see alot of newly engaged couples. I am happy for them and think of my wedding and how magical and amazing it was. I guess I just miss it and do not get jealous yet. But in the future I can see that happening. I am happy to be married to the man of my dreams.
-first post (new bee here!)
I wouldn't necessarily call it jealous, but I would love to be in their shoes to be able to throw another awesome party again!
No, not jealous at all. I would rather throw parties for my closest friends instead of for people I have to invite, family I'm not close with, etc. The last week before my wedding was hell and left a bad taste in my mouth for planning a wedding. Plus, I turn 30 next December and am already planning a get away with my besties! :)
Hi Blondiebee!
I haven't had any friends get engaged since we got married so nothing to be jealous of yet. I think that I will be glad that I'm not the one planning and that we are already married when it happens!
I saw a couple looking at engagement rings the other day-which is exaclty what I was doing a year ago-and I definitely know what you mean!
Nope. I'm not a fan of being in the spotlight & I loved that a bunch of my friends all got engaged around the same time I did. It's like our own little support group... kind of like you ladies - but in person. ;)
I definitely get a little jealous when I learn one of our friends or a family member is newly engaged. Mostly, I'm happy and excited for them, of course. But yeah, I think it's totally natural to feel a little jealous.
I think, for me, I get jealous because it's just an exciting time. I know that I have a little regret about not enjoying the days leading up to our wedding a little more, especially the rehearsal dinner and morning of the wedding. It just went by so fast, and I don't feel like I was able to really cherish the moments with friends and family as much as i should have. So I often think about the newly engaged getting to enjoy that, and I wish I could go back and do that part over again.
BUT, then I try to think about how stressful the whole planning process was, and how I often just wanted to give up and elope. Then the jealousy subsides :)
honestly, I'm not really jealous, but I guess that could change! I'm just glad to get my "fix" via WB, and I'm glad to be MARRIED!
I love love LOVED planning the wedding, but it was pretty stressful, too, and I'm so excited about the next steps in our lives!
oh, and I'd ALSO love for a friend to get engaged and ask for my help, but who knows if anyone would...I was one of the last to marry...
Um.. I think one of my BM's is experiencing this with me :(
I was just in her wedding in August and she's basically disappeared off the map since then. I've sent her tons of emails, called, etc. and the only response I've gotten is an email admitting she is jealous that I'm planning a wedding and just got a new job (she is unemployed).
I really hope she remains a BM, especially after everything i've done for her!
I am newly engaged, so are you jealous? Lol. Actually for me it was the other way around. I was always jealous of those that would get married before I ever even was able to get engaged.
Yes......but just a little bit. There's just so much excitement around it! For me, it's hardest when newly engaged people are getting married before me. I have wedding proximity envy.
I just got to say that reading this thread really made me stop and think, wow, this is a really cool time! Especially for my mom and I - we are doing so much planning together and its really brought us close. And Pengy is right, all the parties bring together your loved ones in a way that you probably won't experience again. For example, all my family is going to be together for my engagement party in two weeks! I have been super stressing out about it and hoping to just get through it because I don't like being the center of attention, but you ladies really reminded me to ENJOY these moments! So thanks :)
@ daniellebelle: I'm glad you're stopping to smell the roses! I HATED wedding planning, but I am still in awe of the love I felt throughout the whole process from my friends and family. That is the only thing I miss about it, and I do get a little bit jealous of others who are getting that attention now. All I can say is just really enjoy it because real life does return at some point.
I figure once I get pregnant, it'll probably be a similar situation, so I guess I have that to look forward to!

I found this weekend my sister's friend got engaged. She's been dating her BF (now FI) for a couple years longer than I dated Mr Frenchie.She even once told me she was sure she'd get engaged before me, so I'm sure seeing me get engaged and married first caused a little jealousy on her part. Anyway when I found out this weekend I found myself getting a little jealous - weird huh?
Married ladies - have you found yourself getting jealous of newly engaged ladies?
