I’ve had waves of "ohmigoshthisisreallyhappening" since we got engaged… but for some reason 4 months was my "Go Time" or "Cripes Here it comes" time… (Excitement mixed with fear mixed with more excitement and various other emotions).
What set that feeling off for you? Was it sending invitations? Was it a number (99 days)? Or other time frame (4 months) or a comment you got (boy you must be getting stressed)?

I’ve been working on the upcoming calendar of events at work, and have been planning a lot of our fall programs. On a regular basis I stop to think "I’ll be married at that program" or "When I introduce myself at that program, I’ll have a different last name."

The only one I’ve really had so far was when we went to buy my wedding band. I can’t wait to see it, since I haven’t actually seen it in person yet, but I’m sure trying that on to make sure it’s the right size will do it. 🙂

It was buying the wedding bands for me, too. I don’t know if my fiance felt the same way, but I’ll admit that for a few days after I brought mine home, I wore it on and off around the apartment 🙂

I’ve had a couple so far, one of them, it was a good thing I was sitting down or I would have fallen over (and I was at work, would have been interesting). I imagine there will be more.

I think mine was at about 4 months, too! At least, that was the first one. Now that we’re only a month out, I’m thinking I’ll be getting them more often (e.g. during the showers, last dress fitting, rehearsal, etc…).

I consistantly have them. I think when I step away from the brainstorming and think about why it’s all happening then I start to get excited (and a little nervous). I usually send a funny email to my mom or fiance that just says, "OMG! we’re getting married!" And they laugh at me. I wonder if guys go through this, or if they’ve gone through it all by the time they propose?

My moment was, when he walked me into Tiffanys to size my finger, and I had the ring on (for the first time ever) and I was like WOAH I LOVE HAVING A RING!
He used his own jeweler, but we tried on lots of stuff to see what we like the most.

I’ve had little ones. But I’ve started calling him my husband to be (in private) and that gets me every time!! And then if I really start thinking about becoming a wife- that gets my heart racing.
