    I've been engaged for over a year. The bliss has pretty much ended for me. Now I'm just so anxious to get the wedding over with so my fiance can finally be my husband. Is this the wrong attitude?? Should I savour every moment of being a fiance? If so, how am I supposed to do that? I know, this is a dumb question.

    Mine wasn't very long..

     

    we have been together 7 years and have lived together for the last 3 of those 7 years. Being engaged was nothing "new" really...we practically act like we're married now.  So I was excited for a bit to show off the ring, but that's it.

    But I do wanna get married already!

    I'm pretty sure it lasted about two seconds for me.  I am a big planner/realist so I was happy for two seconds, relieved that it finally happened for another ten, and then ever since I have been stressed/crazy trying to get everything together.  I think I will finally be blissful when it is over!

    i think my "engagement bliss" comes on and off. i was in tears literally the day after we were engaged because i was freaking out thinking about having a big wedding, i told him i would comprimise but the thought of it was just too much for me. he obviously said we could do whatever i wanted, he didn't want me crying the day after we got engaged, and now it's pretty small. i still have my good and bad days though. and i think that's ok. stress during wedding planning is normal.

    Mine lasted for about 6 months...now I am just ready to be his wife and actually get to live with him and do those day to day things that you can only savor if you live under the same roof.

    I am really excited to get married, but I am also enjoying the planning process. We have been engaged for almost a year and a half now. I know that you only have this time once in your life. For me I am totally enjoying dress shopping, picking flowers, our engagement party, and looking forward to finally  moving in together!
