how's everyone feeling?

lookame3639

We're getting close, some of you will be Mr and Mrs by the end of the weekend, others will be in the next coming weeks and I want to know...how are you feeling? Are you scared, anxious, excited?

I'll be a Mrs in 2 weeks and I gotta tell ya...i am scared! We've been together for 6 yrs so I'm not scared to be with him forever...I'm more scared about settling into being a mrs. I won't have my insurance anymore (and it was excellent insurance) and I'll have to figure out finances as a couple rather than singles. Really since i have a pretty nasty autoimmune disease the insurance part scares me the most. I've also had a previous marraige crumble within the first year (he completely changed after marraige).FI is a great guy. He's been there when I was at my worst and he's stuck around through terrible times so I'm more than happy to be withhim but the logistics of everything else changing...scary!

How's everyone else?

I think it's normal to feel that way @lookame3639, especially since you had a bad experience with your first marriage.  It's the unknown that scares us I think.

I'm getting married on Sunday and I.  FEEL.  FAT.

I just ate Mac n Cheese at the Hard Rock Cafe and now I feel puffy.  I drank too much wine last night too.  Just EWWWWWWWWWWWWW.  I'm making oodles of green tea right now.  I don't want to eat ANYTHING  *pouts*

As far as the psychological, I feel nervous and excited.  I am nervous because I want everything to go okay and excited because this is a 602 day journey that is coming to an end so a new one can begin.  I just can't believe it's here.  

This is going to sound really dumb, but I'm enjoying my time off and spending time with my cat.  He doesn't treat me 'different' because he doesn't know what's going on, so he's keeping my life normal.  People are all like "OMG Bride!  Right this way!  Let's talk about flowers and diamonds and cocktail hour!"  My cat is just...normal. I like it.  He doesn't care about centrepieces and pen bars and stuff.  He just wants to chill!

Today, as my last order of business, I got my nails Shellac'd a nice glossy red.  I did it for me, not for pictures or anything.  It was nice

I have done everything in my power at this point to make sure life goes okay.  I will let go of the worry now.

I'm honestly still kind of not realizing that the wedding is so close.  Not that I don't take it seriously, I just might have over prepared myself for feeling really emotional in day to day life.

I did cry the other day (after drinking too much.. I'm that girl) in the car with FI that I'm afraid that I'm going to be a failure as a wife- I think it is a similar sentiment to what you are going through @lookame3639.

It is kind of strange that I'm going to go by a different name in two weeks, it's making me a little sentimental for my current last name.. but not enough to not change it.

I am wondering if I'm even going to cry the day of.  I have the tendency to just shut down any emotional response when I have a lot of feelings.  My voice started to waiver when I was reading my vows to my sister for a second opinion (she's an awesome writer/ person to bounce ideas off of), but no tears.

Basically anything that you're feeling (unless it's dread.. then you should probably step back) is fine.  In the few weddings I've been to, I've seen everything from full out sobbing to no visible emotional response.

I have a 3-day weekend this weekend, which will be really nice because I will be getting a little more into wedding mode by doing escort cards and finalizing honeymoon plans.

This has been a weird thing to pinpoint for me.  I'm anxious to be married... we've talked about what we think changes, and we agree that nothing should.. we own our home together, have cats, stable jobs, blah blah--nothing should change except my name I guess.

Excited for Mexico.  

Excited to not pay for anything wedding-related ever again.  Unless I'm asked to be in a wedding, I mean.  

I'm excited to get everyone together for the wedding but also I just feel like there are like 12 puzzle pieces that still have to fit.  LUCKILY I officially handed off the rehearsal dinner to my mother-in-law today and she is very enthusiastically taking it on.  Hoorah!

Blah can I also add, I feel like a house right now too.. I worked out for six months and now I feel like I'm being derailed by Reese's.

I feel like I just want it to be here already.  We drop off our wedding things at the venue tomorrow so I had to have everything ready to go by today. Now I feel like I have two weeks to twiddle my thumbs and torture myself.

It doesn't help that I'm running a fever and have a horrible cold/can't breath. I'm hoping it'll kick by the wedding but knowing me it'll change into bronchitis and I'll be a wreck. :P

I'm getting married TOMORROW!

I'm like @jamie232-- I'm anxious for this to be over with, for me to be a wife. That sounds terrible; it makes it sound like I don't want to do it, that I just want things to "be over with." I have an anxiety disorder and all of this wedding planning and family wrangling and money spending has stressed me out more than anything ever before. I'm ready to not have to worry about it any more.

We were supposed to have an outside wedding, because the fall in Charleston is beautiful. Buuuuuut, of course, tomorrow is supposed to be a record-low of 49 degrees (it was 70 today), rain, with 30MPH winds. We do have a contingency plan and will be getting married inside, but it's not what I wanted in the least. I have to remind myself that it's not the wedding that matters, it's the marriage.

I feel excited and nervous. Getting married next Saturday. My only concern is schedule. I hope everyone (wedding party) is on time. Congratulations and best wishes for my fellow November brides

Oh yes, I am nervous abt the weather...not necessarily on the temperature but precipitation.
