FI and I got engaged in April of 2009. We're getting married in August so that's a 16 months engagement (fairly normal, no?). Well, as of the last two months, I am just so tired of it. I know it's going to be beautiful and fun...but I'm more excited to get my life back to normal!
I can't wait until there aren't any more "wedding-stuff" boxes around my house, in my car and under my bed. I can't wait for vendors to stop calling me. I can't wait to stop having to make silly decisions. I can't wait to stop being organized, prepared and always busy. I am not overwhelmed, I'm just over it!
Anyone else, just....over it?
Oh yes I'm over it as well. FI and I have been engaged for a little over 11 months with under 3 to go and I can't wait! I can't wait to be married to my best friend and not have to spend all this money and think about all the details!
I am getting married in three days, and I am over it. I am just totally burned out of wedding planning and I am ready to be in Hawaii, to have my nights and weekends back, for every dollar not to be spent on the wedding. So, I totally understand you Virginiamarie!
Me too! Me too! But mine is mainly that I'm over family causing drama and unnecessary nonsense. I just want it to be over so we can be laying on the beach enjoying a stress free honeymoon! And just think my engagement was only 6 months long- bless you for lasting 16!
@Miss Britt: EEK! Congrats! Have a wonderful time and safe travels.
We're having a 17 month engagement and i totally feel you! The whole process gets very tedious. It's almost over, you're almost there!
I know how you feel... I felt this way about 8 months into our 14 months engagement - and we did not even have that much planning to do because it was a DW... but we were waiting for January to make it a nice vacation during the winter...
Anyway, I say, take a break, have at least one day a week weddingplanning-free. Try and enjoy this time... the wedding goes by so so fast, you'll miss it when it's done!
yup. I'm ready for it to be over.
I know it's going to be awesome and all yadda yadda yadda yadda... BUT.. it will be nice to have life back to normal, to not think about RSVPs coming in the mail, to not worry about my money paying for the cake or the photographer or the DJ, to not stress about losing the weight, to not worry about having the time off work...
Oh yes.. Soon, soon, soon.
:)
We got engaged July 22, 2009 and still haven't set a date even though we have been "tentatively" planning the whole time since we had originally planned to marry this summer then money/school forced us to move it back. It's exhausting to put so much mental effort into this wedding and still have pretty much nothing set for it! I just want to be married already.
Very much agree! My wedding is luckily less than 3 weeks away and it was only a 9 month engagement. I loved so many parts-the showers and bachelorette party for sure, as well as the excitement with my fiance. BUT I am so sick of contstantly talking about the wedding with my fiance and not ever having a day that goes by where we don't mention invitations, the band, registry, etc...!
I am getting married in a month and 2 days... engagement will be a total of 8 months (short by some standards...but we have been together for 7 years!). I am sooooo ready to be done! I am tired of the stress about stupid things, family crap (and it isn't even that bad!) and the always growing guest list (just keeps getting longer!). I can't wait to get on with our "new" life. I just keep reminding myself that when it is all done I will be married to a wonderful man and we will be sitting together on a beach in Bora Bora!
@VirginiaMarie: I totally went through that too! We had an 18-month engagement and I definitely felt like I just wanted the big day to come already! It will get better the closer and closer it gets though. There was a point in time (about 1.5 months out) when I was like "I'M DONE!!" Hang in there... you're almost there! :)
Kind of. 18 month engagement here. I sometimes find myself fantasizing about this fall after it's all over and done with.
Totally feeling this. I am just hoping that we get excited again closer to the date so that we don't look glum and droopy or fake-excited in all of the pictures!
ME TOO! Totally over it and tired of people asking if I'm excited...UM OBVIOUSLY
totally over it. But 7 weeks to go!! bring it on, cant wait to see the back of it!
I had my burn out.. and now im on the road to recovery lol!
I am 100% over it. I'll have been engaged for exactly 1 year tomorrow, and we still have a little over a month to go. But I'm just ready for the wedding to happen already. I'm still very excited for the actual wedding, but I'm just ready to be done with the planning and waiting.
I've been canceling craft projects left and right because at this point I just don't care if the guests have the cute homemade paddle fan programs, they can get the lazy version that I'll print on my my computer and fold in half just like every other wedding I've been too. I haven't picked any ceremony music except the one song I'll walk down the aisle to, and I don't think I'll put any more thought to it. I just told the musicians to play something pretty, I don't care what. Seriously, my motto for wedding planning the last few weeks has been "I'll have to spend how many hours working on this? Well F*** that, I'm not doing it!"
Hello date twin! haha! I also SO over it, only 8 1/2 weeks left, we're almost there! I am SOO ready to have my life back and STOP talking about this dang wedding and even more ready to stop paying for it! We can do this!
I CAN NOT wait to get my weekends back! I'm tired of having to tell everyone no, I can't do this that or the other. ;-\
I didn't want to have a wedding in the first place, so I was over it before it began!! YES!!! I can't wait for next weekend to come, I know we'll have a blast...but then I just want to hightail it to Australia for our honeymoon!
EDIT: I've also suggested to any of my friends that have gotten engaged since we did to plan a 6-month angagement. Anything more is WAAAAY too long and realistically unnecessary.
Agreed, I'm burnt out of people talking to me about my wedding everytime they talk to me. I want it to be here so we can then go on our honeymoon!
Yep. Totally over it. Even tho it's less than 2 months away and not everything is set yet, I can't wait for it to be over. I hate all this stress.
right there with ya. I am very much looking forward to our September wedding,but right now, I could totally walk into the court house and just do it there and be just as married and just as happy!
i am SO. THERE.
i am done with making decisions on everything. its getting to the point i dont even want to decide on whats for dinner because its an added decision. im so over it.
i just want someone else to worry about the stupid minute details, someone else to freak out about looking fat in the dress, someone else deal with my family members throwing fits about random crap i could care less about, someone ELSE deal with saving all this friggin money..
i just want to lie on the beach with my new hubby stress free.
SO. OVER. IT.
72 days and counting. *sigh*
I can totally understand all of these posts, we got married on 6/06/10 and I was sooooooo glad it was over. I don't think I could have taken one more day of it....seriously.
But ladies it will be so worth it once you walk down that aisle....so stay strong and CONGRATULATIONS:)
15 month engagement and 100 days to go...I cannot wait for it to be here either! I am ready to just live again!
Ditto! I know my wedding will be wonderful but at this point, I am much more excited for no cell phones, no plans, and no more wedding speak during our honeymoon. Ugh. Enough with the wedding plans already!
I AM TOTALLY OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
You are so funny. I am so totally where you are right now. WHO CARES!?!?!?
our wedding is FINALLY 3 days away - and I've been "over it" for MONTHS!!!!!! honestly the week or 2 before you will TOTALLY be excited...but until then, yes I know how you feel.
@VirginiaMarie: UGH. u read my mind. i have been over wedding planning since at least a few months ago, and we're only having a 13 month engagement!... im sick of looking at my "wedding room" with stuff that is half done, or not even started. clearing out my blackberry of all the vendor chain emails... and answering questions left and right about all things our wedding.
i love my FI to death and i can't wait to marry him and have our day, but i CANNOT wait even more to have our lives back to normal and our bank accounts flowing with our paychecks normally again.
Totally over it....we're 5 weeks out (been engaged since 3/09), and I'm sick of all of the drama and BS that has been getting more frequent over the past few weeks. Only 34 more days of the BS!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm over it too. My engagement has been long distance and really stressful emotionally b/c of that and just not fun. I'm sick of planning. 8 months down and 4 to go and I'm just tired of wedding crap. OVER IT. Here's what I do: When something annoys me...I just drop it. I figure if I find it annoying or overwhelming or bothersom then it just isn't all that important and I just skip it or pick any random thing and move on to stuff I do care about
Hi Ladies-
I can so relate, and our engagement was only 4 months, a record for a Catholic wedding. I don't know how people do it for a year or more.
To everyone reading this post: our advice is don't have a long engagement unless you're really patient lol
We will have a 13 month engagement. I am ready to get married now.
I felt the same exact way. I was in a really shitty mood all day leading up to my wedding (it rained so i couldn't get the pics I wanted, and I didn't feel that great in the morning) but as soon as the ceremony was over, I felt awesome and the reception was amazing. I know it sucks right now, but just think in 2 months it will all be over. Just strictly structure what days you will do wedding stuff, and don't think about it other than that and before you know it it will all be over.
My engagement was 2 years long, so i know exactly what you are talking about...
