It finally feels real!

We met with our pastor last night and planned out the ceremony. When he got to the vow part of the ceremony and read us what he usually has couples say, it all became so real. I started crying right there in his living room. FI was teary-eyed too. When I bought my dress, I thought the realness would dawn on me. Nope. When we finally booked a caterer this week, I thought it would then. Still nope. But planning the ceremony, it hit me like a ton of bricks! It's so exciting, yet peaceful at the same time. I always thought I would have been nervous at that point.

Have you ladies had your moment where it all became real, or not yet? Did it freak you out or did it calm you?

    There's two big moments that are coming up soon that I think will make it all feel real for me. 1... we are meeting our coordinator at our wedding venue on 2/8 and going over the setup of the tables, centerpieces, etc. and 2... when I finally get those first RSVP's back!

    It became real for me today when we hit the 4-month mark. I feel as though it started to get real before now, but we're now at the point where we can have the invites printed; we confirmed our reception menu; we booked the rehearsal dinner this week; we're going ring shopping; the guys have their suits... It all fell into place over the last week, and it just set in today. So weird!

    Our wedding is May 3rd, we went to Mens Wearhouse on 12/29 to rent my FI and his groomsmens attire and that's when it became real for me.  I told him "Suits are rented, now we've gotta go through with it!" LOL then it became real again when I got my dress on 1/8.  Getting so close it's crazy!

    It is getting really real for me.  I just ordered our invites (YAY!!) and I had a small moment.  I think once I see them and have them in hand it will be really real :)

    Ahhh.  I hope that happens for me too! We have been together for a long time, so it feel like just another thing for me, but I hope that we will have our moment when we feel like all warm and gushy!  So heart warming :)

    @Artteacher23 what day is your wedding?  Cause I'm not sending mine out until 8 weeks before which would be mid-March.  And I have a lot of out of state guests.  I thought 6-8weeks was standard...?

    @Kristen625 I'm May 2nd. But since we are having the ceremony & reception at the same venue I wanted to send them out a lil early incase we have a lot of "no's" (which I highly doubt, but you never know) so that I have enough time to invite others if needed before giving a head count to the venue. Also I tend to be extra paranoid when planning events in making sure that everyone knows what time to show up & where, etc......I sent my STD out early too (at the year mark). I'm also one of those people who gets really mad when people come to the reception but don't show up for the ceremony (which is when you're actually seeing the couple get married and not just coming to celebrate afterwards for the free food and drinks lol!) so I also wanna make sure people realize that it's a Friday night, which means there will most likely be traffic and they should plan their commute accordingly.

    It got real for me last month when I was online listening to songs to be played for the wedding. I ended up going with I do (cherish you) by 98 degrees. The words were perfect and when we were watching the actual music video it turns out it was filmed at the same beach he proposed to me and that had me so emotional lol

    sarahsmiles326 I agree 100% with you that, it became real when we met with the pastor. Even my FI said in the car the next day "meeting with the pastor, reminded me that we are actually getting married and the seriousness of it all. Makes me more excited" I agreed with him. It just made me feel like "Oh crap, this is real stuff. We are getting married!!"
