    While my SO and I aren't engaged-with-a-ring yet, we have set tentative dates and I've started researching vendors and venues to get us prices to go on.  

    Today I called the last venue on my list (my first phone call, I usually hide behind email!) and the woman who answered asked if I was the bride. ...I said yes! And then promptly started silently crying while she congratulated me and told me all about the place! It all hit me at once-- I'm going to be a bride!

    So bees, when did it hit you? When did you realize "WHOA, I'm getting married!"

    (I also might be biased and want this venue now... Wink)

    Ha! Good question... it still hasn't sunken in to me that I am really getting married and I have less than a year left! I wonder if this is normal... lol :)

    There were lots of little moments along the way, but it didn't hit me hard until I saw myself in the mirror for the first time with my bridal look finally pulled together. Standing there, seeing myself as a bride, it hit me like a ton of bricks. it was emotionally overwhelming in the best way possible. All of those little moments had been leading up to that big one. It was... wow.

    Right before I went down the aisle!  And even then, it all seems very surreal now!

    I get that feeling everytime we book something important first it was the venue and said Omg were getting married. Then I bought my dress and cried of course and was like Omg I'm REALLY getting married. Then we booked our photographer, Omg! Lol then booked our caterer Omg! Haha and bought our rings = ) and AGAIN Omg! Lol and I am pretty sure I will get the biggest Omg yet in 2 days when we take our engagement pics!! Ahhhh... =D

    Well I'd say at some point this month it has hit me, hard. My dress came in and I am booking appointments for cake tasting, hair and makeup trials and choosing my invites. I'd say it is becoming very real at this point. Am I freaked out, absolutely!

    I think when everyone started showing up at the hotel the day before. Since I was planning from another state there was never really wedding "stuff" all around me.

    I also got majorly excited when the coordinator at the hotel sent me a giant pdf with the entire rundown of the day. I told her I'd never been so excited to pay a giant bill before.

    I think it hit me when we got our first RSVP card! We were like, "Wow, someone is coming to this thing! It's happening!" During the planning stages it seemed like this mystical far-away event, but now that we're getting responses I feel like it's really happening.
