Feeling blah?

Anyone else having trouble feeling "like a bride"?  I picked up my dress last weekend from the seamstress, and even all put together, veil and all...I've never had that super emotional bridal moment.  It probably is a bit different for me since I'm not having a traditional wedding, we're going to Vegas with just a few family members, but I don't know.  I feel lke I'm missing out on something here...

I feel you. I never had the emotional moment of "saying yes to the dress". Maybe it's because I'm a stage performer/have done pageants before. I just know I'm happy in the dress I got.

I'm not that excited about being a bride but perhaps more excited about the honeymoon. 

I think it's normal. I would think myself too cheesy if I get that bride feeling. 

Not that I think being emotional about feeling lika bride is cheesy, I just don't think that's very me.

I haven't had that moment yet, either.  It's feeling more and more real, but I don't have that princess, floating on clouds, rom-com kind of feel.  I am also significantly less stressed out than I thought I would be at this point!

Same. I'm just not that emotional of a person. I doubt I will cry on my wedidng day, but we'll see!  Maybe I'll surprise myself!

I certainly haven't had that moment about my dress (I mean, I love it, but it's a dress). I do, however, get emotional when I think of the actual ceremony, and standing at the front of the church with my FI, saying our vows. I'm certain that I'll be weepy day of (I'm a crier). I don't think that's the "bridal" feeling you're talking about, but I don't think I really get that feeling, either. It's okay, you're still going to wind up married at the end of the day!

I'm glad to hear that it's not just me.  It was beginning to worry me.

I get where you're coming from. I'm not a super outward emotional person. It's only been the last couple of weeks that I've felt outwardly excited about things, and I mean like the cake design and such. For my dress, I really liked it and I felt happy about the dress, but there was no "Omg I'm going to cry" type of feeling. I was joking with some of my friends the other day that at the wedding, all the BMs, my FMIL, and friends will be crying, while I walk in and just "Sup?" Lol.

I too am feeling "Balh" we got our marriage license and i thought for sure it would help things feel more real and um no not at all. Then we had a meeting with the venue to get everything set up floor plan wise and I still didn't feel like a bride. Even doing the diy projects...don't feel like a bride...at this rate idk if i will feel like a bride on the wedding day lol

I haven't been super emotional, but then I am not generally an emotional person.  I think we are both looking forward to the honeymoon, and just ready for the wedding planning to be over.
